Yinhe Y-3

I use the blade with the Andro Plaxon series rubber (a new tensor class rubber). I have very good control and strong tops. The speed and control are okay because it is made of carbon and has seven layers. The speed is like an OFF blade, but the control is like an all-round blade. It is not very hard, unlike other carbon blades.

Ideal if you prefer control over power. You need to put more efforts to drive the ball with your forehand if playing far behind the table. I am using a long pimple rubber on my backhand, and my chops are better with this blade. Short pushes over the table are also good.
