Yinhe/Galaxy Big Dipper II ?

[TTOmar]

I saw Big Dipper II rubbers for sale in Aliexpress. The sponge seems to be orange on this one but I dont know if it is real or not. Has anyone tried this one?

All the chinese stuff from AliExpress such as Yinhe and Sanwei is cheap and good. I never had any problem with them

The only thing that bothers me with Big Dipper II is that the official shops like Chinese PingPong on AliExpress dont have this rubber in stock.
Thats why i have never bought that one so far.

Yinhe supply chain to eu is garbage. Most of their rubbers are usually sold in china.

Sorry. I haven't tried or heard of it before. I bought the Big Dipper IV, and it was no good at all compared to the Original Big Dipper. Perhaps this is a similar kind of rubber...?

So four years on, has anyone tried it?

I'm currently using it on fh, it basically is an unboosted BD1, quite hard to create spin and arc out the package. After 2 layer of seamoon it became a looping machine, but isn't as bouncy as BD1 though

I haven't tried BD2, but I have played with BD4 which I highly suspect is the same product but for the non-Chinese market. The two rubbers look identical to me and share the same packaging (except for the background colour); even the description on the back side is the same.

BD4 is not really a hybrid, but a standard Chinese-style tacky rubber with a dense sponge that is meant to boosted. It's probably Yinhe's attempt to produce an alternative to Commercial H3. I never had it on a blade that I also tried H3 on, so it can't be an exact comparison, but it felt to me like a slightly less powerful H3. A decent rubber for sure, but I would instead just go for H3 if it's available for a not too dissimilar price.
