Yinhe Jupiter table tennis rubber is designed for players seeking a balance of speed, spin, and control. With a speed rating of 12 and a spin rating of 9, Jupiter delivers impressive offensive capabilities while maintaining good control (rated 8.7) for consistent play.
The rubber features a tacky surface with a tackiness rating of 5.1, providing excellent grip and spin generation. The sponge hardness of 5 offers a moderate feel, suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Players can expect good throw angle (rated 7) for effective looping and attacking shots.
Jupiter's consistency rating of 8.6 indicates its reliability and predictability. Its durability rating of 6.3 suggests that it can withstand regular use and maintain its performance over time.
Overall, Yinhe Jupiter is a versatile rubber that offers a balance of speed, spin, and control, making it a good choice for all-around players and those who prefer an offensive style of play. It provides excellent grip and spin generation, along with good throw angle and consistency.
Based on forum reviews, players have praised Jupiter's excellent control and its ability to generate heavy spin. Some have found it to be a good choice for both forehand and backhand play, while others have noted its effectiveness in close-to-the-table play. However, a few reviewers mentioned that it might not be suitable for players seeking extremely fast rubber.
I used this cheap rubber in my first setup with a Tuttle Nightmare blade and Yinhe Mercury on the backhand. It is very suitable for the forehand, offering the right throw angle for me and performing exceptionally well on hard blades.
However, the tackiness wears off quickly. Once it has worn down, the rubber becomes exceedingly fast. I can execute heavy loops without much effort, and it really feels comparable to Tenergy 90.
One thing to note is to avoid applying too much force when hitting, as the ball frequently goes out if struck too forcefully. On the other hand, it chops very well and can generate heavy backspins. This rubber is great for those who seek speed in their shots.
This rubber performs very well; however, it simply does not suit my blade. I definitely agree with other reviewers that the throw angle is high and the spin production is impressive. Unfortunately, the tackiness fades away very quickly, and after just a few sessions, it becomes comparable to a standard European tensor rubber.
Interestingly, I initially paired this rubber with Mars II, placing it on the forehand side due to its tacky surface. However, once the tacky effect wore off, I realized that this rubber is actually faster than Mars II. As a result, I moved it to the backhand side to take advantage of its speed.
I must disagree with the speed ratings provided, as I found this rubber to be slower than Mars II, which is why I purchased it in the first place. I feel misled and have been left dissatisfied because of that. Even the seller informed me that it is slower than Mars II. Consequently, I rated it a 10 to somewhat mitigate the overall score; yet my true rating for speed would be around 9.0.
Nonetheless, this rubber remains a great choice for beginner and amateur-level players who need an extra boost in their shots away from the table, particularly on the backhand side.
This rubber needs to be paired with the right racket. I really like it on the Yinhe N4! When installed correctly on the right racket, this rubber produces incredibly high-speed loops that can catch the edge of the table.
However, it requires frequent cleaning. Water works well for this purpose; it effectively removes dust and restores the tackiness. If your smashing loops start to fly over the table, it’s probably time for a quick clean.
Overall, this is one of my favorite rubbers so far.
