Yinhe 9000D

Before I start, I’d like to mention that this is my very first custom rubber. I have previously used a few pre-made paddles. I am a Chinese penholder who uses traditional penhold backhand (TPB) and reverse penhold backhand (RPB), and I am also in high school, so I’m still very much a beginner. I have been using this rubber for almost three months now.

I use this rubber on my forehand, and I find it to be very good for that purpose. It also performs well for traditional penhold backhand shots, allowing me to execute topspins effectively. In my experience, the rubber offers good speed—not too slow, but not overly fast either. It is decent for blocking, particularly for TPB blocking. With a bit of practice, I have grown confident in my ability to counter shots using this rubber.

Compared to the pre-made paddles I have used, this rubber provides significantly more spin. It excels in serves, pushes, chops, and loops. The control is impressive, making it suitable for beginners like myself. The gear dynamics seem decent, though since this is my first rubber, I cannot make extensive comparisons.

Overall, I find this rubber to be quite consistent, especially for someone at my skill level. However, I have noticed that the throw angle is not very high, which can sometimes make it difficult to get the ball over the net. I acknowledge that I am still inexperienced with this rubber, so it could be a matter of getting used to it.

In summary, my honest review is that this rubber is very good and does not seem to lack in any area. It performs well with flat shots like drives and smashes, but it is certainly more suited for loops and spin-oriented shots. As a beginner still learning, this is my perspective. I would recommend this rubber to others.

I like this rubber. On the backhand, you can achieve quality shots. However, the only problem is the lack of spin; it’s about 20-30% less than that of high-quality rubbers. This makes a significant difference in performance.

The rubber has a medium throw, and it may be a clone of the H3-50.

When it comes to choosing between the Galaxy 9000D and the Galaxy 9000E, the question arises: which one is better? In my opinion, the Galaxy 9000D is the faster option. However, each rubber has its own unique features that may cater to different playing styles.

Hi everyone,

After using this rubber for one month, I would like to share my thoughts. In my opinion, the characteristics of this rubber make it suitable for beginner players. Beginners need a rubber that offers a very high level of control to help them adapt their strokes.

The 9000D rubber provides good control, medium spin, and medium speed. I used the 9000D on my forehand with a Yinhe T8S blade. I believe that if you have a stiff blade, this rubber is highly recommended, especially considering its affordable price!

I am writing this review as a Traditional Penholder, challenging myself with an extreme budget limit. I live in Asia and used a Yinhe N-9s Penhold Allround paddle, which cost me 10 USD, along with this rubber on one side for 4 USD. The total price for this setup is very low, and surprisingly, the performance is quite impressive.

The spin produced by this rubber is amazing and deceptive. When I brushed the ball using the Ma Lin Chop Block style, the result was a fast, straight bouncing ball. However, when played to my opponent’s (Shake Hand) backhand side, the ball exhibited sidespin that caused it to veer away from the table as soon as he blocked it. The backspin capability is also very good. Using the Penhold Snaking technique under the table creates a ball with extreme backspin, which causes it to bounce back toward my side after hitting the table on my opponent’s side. Please note that this effect is achieved through proper technique, not solely by the rubber itself.

The speed of the rubber is adequate, allowing me to execute TPB smashes that are quick and deadly. In fact, about 50% of my points come from these smashes. The control is good, especially when returning serves. Backspin serves are particularly threatening because they produce a kick effect, traveling fast and staying low. When blocking against topspin shots with a slightly open angle off the bounce, I notice similar results as when returning backspin serves.

The tackiness of the rubber is commendable. As long as you care for it by cleaning the rubber regularly, it can last for about 9 months; it has been 9 months since I set it up. The weight of the rubber is average, with nothing particularly special about it, while the hardness is medium. I recommend this rubber as a good starting option before moving on to a more advanced one, such as the Dawei 388A-4, once you learn the basics.

This rubber is especially comfortable for average gear, meaning that machine-gun type players who excel in speed and reflexes will find it suitable. It has a good throwing angle, as it is medium-low, and mastering it will make you a formidable player. The consistency and durability of the rubber are impressive; I have only managed to destroy 3-4 pimples at the edge (which is my fault for slamming it onto the table).

Overall, this rubber performs well, even better than the 9000E for Traditional Penholders.

These rubbers are a great choice for those transitioning from soft non-Chinese rubber to Chinese rubber.

However, a notable downside is that they tend to be quite soft.

On the positive side, they offer excellent tackiness and are affordably priced. Additionally, they are consistent in performance.

I bought three sheets of 9000D as practice rubber. At around $6 per piece, they are incredibly affordable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the rubber’s performance. The speed is average; while there isn’t much catapult effect, the outcome of a shot is consistent with the effort you put in. The spin is impressive, largely due to its tacky Chinese rubber composition.

Out of the three sheets, two are medium and one is soft. Interestingly, even the medium sheets feel quite soft. Overall, this rubber is enjoyable to play with. The combination of tackiness and a soft sponge provides exceptional control. Additionally, compared to other Chinese rubbers, the 9000D is quite light.

I highly recommend this rubber for both beginners and seasoned players looking for practice rubber. If you want to try out tacky Chinese rubber, this is a great, budget-friendly option to start with. I’ve also played matches against friends using the 9000D, and it performed quite well.

The rubber has a tacky surface, making it particularly effective for backhand strokes. Its grip allows for enhanced control and spin during gameplay. Overall, it is a solid choice for players looking to improve their backhand performance.

This rubber is extremely controllable. I have used it on my backhand for several months.

I have had two sheets of this rubber over the past five years: a red 1.5 mm sheet on an XI Up Probe All+ blade and a 2.2 mm sheet on the forehand of a Stiga Carbotech blade.

The rubber performs excellently for backhand play, being very controllable. However, it is not ideal for topspin shots on the forehand; it is more suited for looping or defensive forehand chopping.

Both the red and black versions maintain their tackiness even after cleaning, making it a very consistent rubber. I believe this has to be one of the best rubbers I have used from Yinhe. I have tried several other rubbers that came off the bats within a three to six-hour training session. In contrast, I have used this rubber for a couple of seasons without issues.

If you’re a defensive to offensive player, I highly recommend this rubber.
