Pros
  • High control
I was looking for a slower blade after playing a BTY photino.

The feel of the blade is hard, not too fast and with good control. The head size is smaller than my photino.

I used Yinhe Moon on both FH and BH. I noticed the combination was head heavy. IMO, it is good to play close to the table, especially with active blocks. If a ball pops up near the net, I was able to kill the point, due to the low arc.

Away from the table, I find it challenging to counter loop with opponent using the setup mentioned above - lack of speed and due to the low arc unable to clear the net.

If I use this blade again, I will put Acuda S1 or S2. I believe this will be a better setup.

Pros

  • Consistent
Cons
  • not durable
Have been using this Acuda 2.0 for a year now, on both my FH and BH (1 ply hinoki blade). This rubber is soft and I can feel the grip every time I loop. Also, I find this rubber not heavy.

Overall, I love the combination of this rubber with my 1 ply hinoki blade. The only shortfall is the top sheet is not durable. I play 2-3 times per week, (6-9 hours). I will change the rubber every 3 months.
