PrinceTT (Hong Kong) has the Yinhe Earth blade in stock: http://www.princett.com/EN/USD/category-7/page-Galaxy-Yinhe-Milky-Way.html The Earth 1 has a Koto top wood, and the Earth 3 has Limba. Koto is hard and more controlled while Limba is a bit softer, better for top spin with imperfect...

Looking at: http://www.princett.com/EN/USD/category-7/page-Galaxy-Yinhe-Milky-Way.html The E1 or E3 are 5-ply wood blades with no carbon, E1 has Koto surface (harder, less bounce), the E3 has Limba surface (softer, more bounce). For learning topspin the E3 is probably better, for control the E1...

I've been first playing the Nittaku Moristo SP (max. thickness) on the backhand, and then the Yinhe Uranus Pro (medium sponge, max thickness), for more than a year. On the forehand I play inverted Yinhe Moon or Nittaku FastArc G-1. I did OK with the Yinhe Uranus Pro on the backhand, and a good...

You can definitely do better than pre-made. If you order at AliExpress or princett.com the ship time is 2-4 weeks. I would consider assembling yourself or have someone in your table tennis club help you. I usually do the following: * Sand the sharp edges with 100->300 grade sandpaper (US...

I think Yinhe had a similar structure long ago, in the Yinhe E-3VB and the Yinhe E-1VB, and also the Yinhe U-1VB. However on these blades the vacuum-baked wood (which was dark brown) was not the top layer, instead Limba and Koto was used. The E-3VB also used glass fiber. I have the E-3VB and the...

I've been using the Yinhe Moon, $11.50 (+ shipping, 3-4 weeks to USA) from princett.com. From the revspin review: "High speed, high tension, high friction rubber that feels a lot like a Japanese rubber. It is a high-performance non-tacky rubber. Built to compare to the Butterfly Tenergy 05 and...

I restarted at 59. The key is to be careful using your memorized youth technique on your current body, I promptly hurt my back. So a good warm-up and stretching before the game is very important. Also I changed my top spin to be more compatible with my back, using the " Chinese " technique...

Before I glue the rubbers to the blade I varnish the blade with MinWax polyurethane (satin) varnish (Minwax 23005 Fast Drying Polyurethane, 1/2 Pint, Semi-Gloss). I do this both on the playing side and the handle so I can wash the blade with disinfectant if I have to. You want to use a VOC-free...

I am playing at the USATT ~1500 level and have tried both the tacky Yinhe/Galaxy Jupiter 2 and the Yinhe Moon (tensor, not tacky) rubber. I concluded that I am not going tacky (it attracts dust and for me wasn't worth the trouble) so I am playing competitions with the Yinhe Moon 2mm medium...

See this link about antispin, very good explanation.

Yes, the handle is a little thicker than the one of other Chinese blades. I fixed it with ~100 grade sandpaper on a block. After some sanding, the handle is now really good as it is almost rectangular (if too rectangular, some more sanding helps). After sanding, I varnished the blade. I did this...

I grew up at the Swiss border (on German soil but close to Zurich/CH) and my first language was the local dialect (Hoch-Alemannisch, close to Swiss German/Schweizerdeutsch). I only learned standard German (Hochdeutsch) in elementary school, and English, French, and Latin in high school. These...

I had a similar (inverted) experience, I started with 135 lbs (9 stone 9 lbs) as a teenager, and then in 2019 re-started at 195 lbs (13 stone 13 lbs), and then reduced to 170 lbs (12 stone 2 lbs). First point to make is that using my (remembered) moves from my teenage years in 2019 promptly led...

I've bought blades & rubbers from PrinceTT.com, tabletennis11.com, colestt.com, PaddlePalace.com, AliExpress.com, ebay.com (sorted by volume). Shipping from Hong Kong from PrinceTT takes about 3-4 weeks. I found that the Yinhe/Galaxy blades & rubbers are very high quality (some rubbers like...

There is also the Yinhe Pro-01 at this link. I got one from PrinceTT.com ($42 + shipping) and the manufacturing quality is top notch (I haven't played it yet though). This is the info (thx Google Translate): Professional One Pro-01 External ALC Listing Date: 2020-06-23 Name: Professional One...

I have mostly followed yogi_bear's reviews. My favorite blade (of 30+) for competitions right now is the Yinhe Purple Dragon 437 with Yinhe Moon forehand and short pips Yinhe Uranus Pro medium sponge backhand (soft sponge is too jumpy). I also like the Yinhe Pro 5W (Walnut top, 5-ply), and the...

See the review at ... and switch on the close captioning for English subtitles ...

I had a similar issue and used a Yasaka Battle Balsa (73g) which is an OFF- blade. I think the Battle Balsa is a bit faster than the Balsa. You can also get blades with Carbon layers in the 80g range, e.g. Yinhe M101 (external carbon, limba top) or T-6S (Hinoki top) so they are even faster which...

Shipping takes around 4-8 weeks (to USA) though with the less expensive option. So some strategic planning is needed :-). I was very impressed with the high quality of the Yinhe blades, especially the "pro" versions. I settled on not so tacky rubbers, i.e. Moon and Sun. Both work for me. As for...
