Yinhe Rubber Naming Scheme

[Julzig]

So I was thinking of trying a few Yinhe rubbers in the coming offseason along with some other cheap-ish chinese rubbers (Battle3 for example) and noticed that I got quite lost in the way they name their rubbers. Moon, Earth, Jupiter, Mercury, Apollo, Big Dipper and then with many different alterations.

Now my question is, if there is any system behind those names? Like is one always sticky, one always hybrid like, ment for BH etc.
Would be nice if someone could help here, since this is a territory im not familiar with yet.

And maybe 2 to 3 must trys from Yinhe perhaps

so far, the only naming scheme is, its all galaxy related
and unfortunately there is no link but I also don't think it is necessary to try everything

Big Dipper they made it for FH
and Moon 12 for BH
Some stated Jupiter 3 is good for FH and some also say softer sponge Big Dipper is good for BH.

the others, I think you can give it a skip and just focus on these 4

Moon is meant to be their non-tacky backhand rubber.

Jupiter is their tacky fh rubber.
Big Dipper is their hybrid fh rubber, but also works well for bh.

Apollo is kinda their premium rubber. Apollo 5 is really good, and feels overall better quality than Jupiter, but similar.
Mercury is their entry cheap rubber.

If you want to try Chinese rubbers, Double Fish also has excellent rubbers.

worldwide mercury should be their #1 best selling according to alix sales stats (chinese pingpong)

coincidentally it was also installed by xiom company on their bestselling pre-made racket like 15 years ago!! yes it was a xiom beginner racket, sold in a doubles set incl. 3 balls and very inexpensive.

l wuv it

that is correct. Mercury is they no1 seller.

in terms of price vs performance, this is ideal for many groups of players. including kids who are starting off, but some pro-olympian will say to start off with dignics and hurricane nationals, but many thousands of coaches around the world recommend Mercury

I think it's #1 seller because it's their cheapest inverted, so it does extremely well in poorer countries.

I agree it's perfectly fine for beginners and even for some intermediate players. It's a lot better than the majority of pre-made bats, that's for sure.

Quality control is not the best (significant variations in tackiness level and sponge hardness), but beginners would probably not even notice, and most player would adjust very quickly.

Jupiter 3 Asia is great, so is Apollo 5. Apollo 5 is slightly more sticky in my experience. Big Dipper is very slightly sticky and more hybrid style. Still very good but not as spinny as the previously mentioned.

Not tested Moon 12, have a couple of sheets ordered.

Apollo 5 is not available on Aliexpress for some reason, where as the others are readily available there. You can get it on TT11 though.

Yinhe means "Galaxy" or "Milky way", hence the space/planet naming scheme.

My attempts to correlate the names with anything has me guessing that the further they are from earth the more expensive/attacking they get!!

Seriously tho post 2 and 3 answer it well.
I've tried Jupiter Asia 3, Big Dipper and Moon 12, all great value for money imo.
Just depends what game you play.
There are good threads in her about Moon and JA 3 already with all the info you need, have a read

Thank you all for the imput!
I prefer Medium to Hard rubbers with more of a Jap feeling, but I would like to try some different things aswell.
Aslong as the spin and speed is in a good ratio to another and not dead feeling it should be fine.

Jupiter 3 and Big Dipper sound nice.
Maybe Apollo 5 if I can find it for cheap.

For Big Dipper what version do you guys suggest? IV is the latest if I see correctly?

So therefore Neptune is the Best 😂

I'm using Big Dipper Pro, blue sponge and can say I'm very happy with it. Kind of works like Hurricane, that Pro is the provincial version.

BD IV it's not really the best, it's just different. IIRC, it's a rubber from a different factory that they bought and rebranded. You can try the normal version and most people that I know tested it really enjoyed it.

Hey, Pluto is super fun to use.

Boosted?

Boosted?

Naaaaaa, I've never boosted. Only thinking about investing more than 20 minutes in gluing a rubber annoys me to no end.
