Yinhe has triled five generations of penhold (1.0 - 5.0). 5.0 is the final version which will be released in the Chinese market in mid September.
After considering feedback from testers, here is the version 5.0
Sorry I did not elaborate enough. H8-80 is easier to generate speed. H8 behaves like H3 - slow with low to medium impact, but fast like a bullet when hitting hard.
so yeah close to table, H8-80 is faster. When hitting hard, H8 is faster.
H8 comes in three hardness:
Soft
mid hard
hard (39-41)
H8-80 comes in 37 degree.
But my mid hard H8 is significantly harder and faster than my H8-80 37 degree. So I guess Soft H8 might be equivalent to H8-80.
The Yinhe blade has a Cpen shape but a Jpen cork. The handle is slightly bigger than usual making the blade less head heavy. It’s specifically designed for two wing attackers, and children
A number of options I have tried:
Glue a small piece of TACKY rubber on the back
Glue a small piece of long pip on the back
Anti slip backside sold on Iruiru
I was so excited about the review. Then came the bad news 😞😞
He is a seller on TaoBao. If a seller discouraged buyers, the product must be very bad. But he has only tested the pink and blue ones though.
but that’s enough to put me off
Three factors here:
1. D05 topsheet is slightly more tacky than T05
2. D05 sponge is harder than T05
3. Carbonado 290 is VERY hard and fast. Faster than LGY ALC.
In light to medium impact, the D05 setup is likely slower. But if you do power loop far from the table, the D05 setup might be faster.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. As more and more Korean and Japanese players adopt H3 National, I am not aware of any professional Taiwan players using H3. Is H3 popular in Taiwan national team?
Yinhe has been developing a penhold blade with a comfortable handle and good balance in order to help children get into this style. They have finally worked out penhold 5.0 (review on Bilibili). Basically a Cpen with a Jpen cork designed for children and those with a small hand.
There has been...
let’s settle this.
Lots of review on Bilibili. I’ve watched countless reputable reviews including Gan’s review. H9 topsheet is just slightly tacky. The grip is low = low sensitivity to spin = low spin potential.
The blue sponge 39 degree seems too soft, good for defence but insufficient for...
