Yinhe T-8s

The blade is fast and has good control. It is a good choice for players who want a blade that is both fast and responsive. The blade is also relatively lightweight, making it easy to maneuver. However, the blade is not as durable as some other blades on the market.

Overall, the blade is a good choice for players who want a fast and responsive blade. It is also relatively lightweight, making it easy to maneuver. However, the blade is not as durable as some other blades on the market.

First time using this blade felt comfortable. It’s a fast blade with good control. I prefer this blade to my previous one (Stiga Ebenholz NCT VII).

I set this blade up with Yinhe Moon Pro Black (FH) and T05 Red (BH). It’s easy to spin and drive with, and I can feel the ball before it leaves the blade. That makes it very comfortable for me.

Overall, it’s a good blade for me, easy to handle for looping, blocking, driving, and spinning.

This blade is decent, but its performance is not exceptional. It excels in smashing and forehand topspins, providing excellent control and power. It also performs well in blocking and flicking from the forehand.

However, a significant disadvantage of this blade is its poor performance on the backhand. This is primarily due to its narrow wings, which prevent the hand and wrist from locking into a proper position for backhand shots. Consequently, backhand shots tend to go out more often than they go in.

Despite its shortcomings, this blade has some positive qualities. It provides a comfortable grip and a solid feel. Many players have compared it to the popular Viscaria blade, but I believe that this is not an accurate comparison. The Viscaria blade is a top-of-the-line product with superior craftsmanship and materials.

I purchased this blade as a replacement for my Viscaria, which was nearing the end of its lifespan. While it is not a perfect substitute, it offers a reasonable level of performance for a fraction of the cost.

I am using the traditional DHS Hurricane 3 rubber on my forehand and Yasaka Rakza X rubber on my backhand with this blade. With these rubbers, the blade performs well on both the forehand and backhand sides, providing a combination of spin, power, and control.

After more time playing with this blade, the Yinhe T8S, I will recommend this blade to every offensive player. The blade is very fast, but at the same time, it has extremely good control with the maximum rubbers I tried on it: Nexxus EL Pro, Xiom Omega V Asia, Tenergy 05 FX, and Palio AK 47 Blue rubbers.

I can only say try this excellent blade and see personally how good it is.

Also, regarding its price, from an economical aspect, the ratio between quality and price is something that no other blades have. I change blades from time to time, but this blade will stay forever in my collections.

This blade offers a great balance of speed, control, and spin at an affordable price point. It outperforms blades like the 729 V-3 and DHS 301, making it a solid choice.

I’ve been using it with Sanwei Target National on the forehand and Xiom Omega V Tour on the backhand, and the combination has been excellent. If you’re looking for a cost-effective blade with good all-around performance, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Pros:

- This blade has a well-designed aesthetic. — The handle fits comfortably in my hand. — It is relatively lightweight.

Cons:

- This blade lacks speed. — It vibrates excessively when blocking or smashing.

Wow, what a blade! You won’t make a mistake if you buy it. It cost me 28 euros. I paired it with Gold Arc 8 on the forehand and Yasaka Rakza 7 on the backhand, and it was fabulous. It has a punch to it; when you hit the ball, you can feel the strength of the carbon. The control for me was amazing; I hit some very good shots with a lot of spin. The feeling for a carbon blade is also very good, and ball placement was excellent. Overall, very good. Just give it a try; you won’t be disappointed.

I bought this blade to give it a try, hoping for a flexible blade, but it didn’t live up to its rating. Mine weighs 95g, with a nice finish and an attractive look. It is a standard stiff carbon blade with some feeling. It’s great for a hard hitter, but not so good for spin. It provides good consistency with no weird vibrations. However, for the money, you could get better blades on the market.

I tried the Yinhe T8s blade and I can say this is one of the best and cheapest amazing attacking all-round blades. I’ve had several expensive Butterfly blades in the past such as Timo Boll Spirit, Timo Boll ALC, and M. Maze and I played with the same rubbers but I sold them all and now the Yinhe T8s is my first and best choice.

Many people compare this blade with the Timo Boll ALC and Spirit but this blade is practically the same as Viscaria, even a little faster, and is great. I can compare this blade with high-priced Butterfly blades and I can say this blade has great balance, spin, speed, and control with a nice feel.

Also, the quality of the product is great in every single detail, and I can compare the Yinhe T8s with all expensive Butterfly blades priced at $200 and more. I attached Butterfly Tenergy 05 2.1 mm on both sides of the blade and it’s great, better in all aspects of the game than the above-mentioned Butterfly blades.

Now, the Yinhe T8s is my first choice and it’s so easy to play with, for me it’s much better for serving, spinning, brushing, flick, block, and also great for shots from half and long distance from the table.

Also, the dimensions of the blade are 158x150 mm with a very nice and comfortable long FL handle. My blade weight without rubbers is ideal 87 grams and I don’t need to buy any expensive Butterfly or other brand blades.

Highly recommending to advanced and professional players who want to have great control with all high performance, beginners don’t try this blade before you make a better experience and technique.

This blade offers a balance of speed, control, and feel. I would classify it as an Off- or Off blade.

Compared to the T11+, I find this blade to be superior. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, this blade provides excellent value for money.

Very nice feeling, comfortable and soft handle. This blade has better termination than Stiga, Donic and some recent Butterfly wood. It’s pretty and has an ideal weight of 89. The blade is very fast, more so than Mazunov, T11+, or Yinhe. It pairs better with medium-hard and not-so-fast rubbers. Blocking is easy with this blade. It’s a very good wood for advanced players exclusively. If you are a beginner, do not try this blade.

Despite having a small number of reviews, this blade is actually really good. It’s also cheap, about $25 in my country.

It has great speed, good control, and nice spin. I have the Timo Ball ALC, ITC Strike Carbon, Stiga Allround NCT, and Adidas Radix Ultimate, but I use my T8S most of the time.

Just buy it, it’s cheap and good.

Awesome for mid-far players.

It’s a really good blade because it’s really cheap and has almost exactly the same characteristics as the Timo Boll Alc. I’ve been using the Timo Boll Alc for a really long time and I switched to this as an alternative and it didn’t disappoint me one bit. I would totally rock this in tournaments!! It’s a must-cop!

My blade weighs 80g, placing it in the lower weight range. The craftsmanship and finishing are impeccable, giving it an aesthetically pleasing appearance. I’ve paired it with H3-NEO black max on the forehand and H3-50 Soft red max on the backhand. The blade allows for easy switching between sides, which I frequently do not to foul the opponent but to vary my game.

Having never used a T-8, I’m unable to compare the T-8 and T-8s models. However, I find the T-8s to be exceptionally fast with a “springy” feel, reminiscent of the T-11+ (I’m unsure if the T-8s core utilizes balsa, but it doesn’t appear to be the case).

The overall feel of the blade is heavily influenced by the rubber used. Interestingly, this setup exhibits a characteristic I haven’t encountered with any of my previous rackets. On the forehand side with H3-NEO (a hard rubber), the blade and rubber seem to function as a single entity, eliminating the sensation of the ball impacting the wood after compressing the rubber. This results in the bat feeling like a unified spring. The same effect is not as pronounced on the backhand side with H3-50 Soft. Thus, this blade exhibits sensitivity to the hardness of the rubber, providing varying game experiences.

With its arylate carbon layers, this blade is designed for speed and is better suited for hitters rather than top-spinners. Control is moderate due to the springy wood, but the setup remains manageable. Flicks and hits are exceptional, while chops and pushes are average to good. Top spin is somewhat flat with a moderate arc. It is ideal for an attacker-hitter.

This setup has become a permanent fixture in my bag as a “fun” option for practice and casual games. It offers a distinct experience from my other setups, providing valuable training for the adaptive behavior required in table tennis for success against diverse opponents and playstyles.

Pairing the T-8s with softer European rubbers may potentially yield a different game experience.

This blade has everything it offers. It matches well with various equipment. I recommend trying it out. I’ve been using TO5 for forehand strokes and Galaxy Moon for backhand strokes, which is a great combination. I plan to experiment with different backhand rubbers in the future. I hope you enjoy this review.

T 05fx in FH and Rozena in BH, a good combination. Spin smash block is perfect for me. Previously I used BTY Primorac Carbon and Innerforce Layer ZLC, but for me, Yinhe T8s is more suitable for my style.

It has amazing control, but it is kinda slow for me if desired shot types require quicker blade speeds; if your playstyle is well suited to this blade, only minor adjustments to technique or stroke speed may be needed to achieve your desired results.
