Yinhe 9000 3 Star

My first serious rubber was used on my main blade, TSP Reflex 50 Award Off. I loved it.

It’s fast, tacky, and forgiving, making it easy to control despite its speed. It provides crazy spin and is very consistent when used for forehand strokes.

This is a fantastic forehand rubber. It has unbelievable spin, along with excellent power. This makes it easy and effective for lobbing, chopping, flicks (flips), looping, pushing (slicing), and, of course, smashing. Smashes are effortless and can be hit so fast the ball nearly goes through the table.

I use it as a forehand rubber with a 2.0 mm sponge. And on top of all of that, it is only $10.00. Great rubber!

As of 2016, this rubber is out of production, a terrible shame.

This rubber is very good for developing your loop and spin shots. However, I think the sponge is very thick, which makes this rubber heavy and hard to control. But for the price they offer, it’s a good choice if you’re an amateur who wants to train more attack shots.

Tried on YinHe V1 blade, it felt dead with no speed. However, it is very spinny and tacky. Good for blocking, chopping, looping, and control. Perfect for a defensive paddle.

Then I put this rubber on YinHe T-11+ blade. It seems the rubber reduces the blade speed a tiny bit, creating good control. Good for both offensive and defensive play on the T-11+ blade.

Best Cheap Rubber Ever

This rubber is an excellent option for budget-minded table tennis players. It provides a great balance of spin, speed, and control, making it suitable for all levels of play.

Pros:

• Great for all playing styles: This rubber can be used effectively by both offensive and defensive players.
• Spinny: It generates plenty of spin, making it ideal for attacking shots.
• Fast: This rubber is fast enough for aggressive play, but not too fast for control.
• Controlled: The rubber provides good control, allowing for precise placement of shots.

Cons:

• Not great for blocking spin: This is one of the few areas where this rubber falls short. It can be difficult to block spinny shots effectively, especially when they are coming from a fast-paced opponent.
• Tacky when new, but not for long: The rubber is tacky when new, which provides good grip and spin. However, the tackiness wears off over time, which reduces its effectiveness.

Very good rubber for all-round or offensive players. It excels in short and middle-range shots. It has excellent tackiness but is not overly slow. It is fast and an excellent value for the price.

This is a great economical rubber. It produces a nice sound when flat hit. This rubber is faster than Venus II, LKT Rapid Speed, and Dawei 2008 XP. I use a Yinhe N-9 wooden blade, and this combination is a killer machine for smash or flick.

This looping rubber offers great control for its price. It pairs well with a 5-ply blade. The rubber appears to be quite tacky. However, I do not recommend it for backhand shots.

It’s a great rubber. Initially, I struggled to play a forehand sidespin topspin smash, but once it was set, it went way higher than I expected. It has a nice spin on the forehand, but it’s not good for looping. Overall, it’s a good rubber to play with. I recommend it.

This is a very good rubber, and I was surprised to be the only person rating it. However, I’ve just realized from the packaging that what Bribar (England) calls 9000 Techno is known as 9000 3 Star here.

I use Black 1.5 on an AR blade, and it’s very good to hit with. I play flat hit (punch), block, and push, but no BH loop.

Its GREAT for its price. When you use Chinese rubbers, you need to use your body to swing, NOT just your arm. If you’re having difficulty with Chinese rubbers, practice moving your hips, etc…
