Yinhe Earth 2

I will say one thing: this rubber, with its medium hardness, performed much better on a handmade blade (such as the Innerforce, specifically the upper layer of the limb) compared to Tenergy 05 on the backhand side.

There is more control with this rubber, while still providing ample opportunity for hitting and spinning.

The Earth 2 rubber is being compared with Yinhe’s other rubbers: Mercury 2, Moon, and DHS Hurricane 3. I personally played with the red version on a Yinhe 896 blade, which is a five-ply looping blade, using a medium sponge of 2.2mm thickness.

This rubber is less tacky than Mercury and Hurricane 3, but it is more tacky than Moon. It offers quite a bit of grip and is capable of generating sufficient spin in close-range drives. The catapult effect is noticeable; unlike Mercury, which feels dead, Earth 2 has a similar feel to Xiom Vega Europe. As a result, this rubber provides good control during play.

In terms of weight and durability, Earth 2 is lighter and more durable than Mercury 2, allowing it to be peeled and reglued multiple times. When compared to Hurricane 3, it is significantly lighter and has considerably more initial catapult.

Currently, Earth 2 is priced at around $20+ on eBay and Ali, which is not as cheap as it used to be. If you’re looking for a dependable, entry-level tensor-like rubber, this is an affordable option worth considering.

Excellent backhand (bh) rubber! I paired it with my Yinhe V4 ZLC blade and noticed a clear speed difference, both with bh loops and smashes, compared to my old setup. Additionally, it offers a lot of control.

The price is quite affordable. This rubber is suitable for use with carbon blades, such as the Yinhe Mercury Y-15 (FH Cpen - Penholder). It excels in fast games near the table, including loops, drives, and ball placement.

To prevent the ball from going out during your smash, it is advisable to move a little away from the table.

Rubber: Rosu Mediu 2.2

This rubber features low speed, weak spin, and poor control. The angle of trajectory is also quite low. It is suitable only for beginner-level flat play. When attempting to loop, the ball tends to glide on the surface, which affects performance.

Overall, I do not recommend this rubber.

Avery fast and controllable rubber, I am reviewing the soft version. The blocking performance, both passive and active, is very good.

Please note that the soft version is not as good as the medium one, but it is better than the hard variant. By the way, it features a blue sponge!

This rubber offers excellent value for money. It lives up to its description perfectly.

I recently tried a new generation of YinHe rubber featuring a porous sponge and an exceptionally elastic top sheet. I paired it with an Allround+ blade (Stiga Allround Evolution) to accurately assess its speed.

This rubber provides a very good dwell time and offers impressive spin capabilities, all while maintaining medium speed. Further impressions will be shared soon.
