Definitely Yinhe has better rubbers overall. Sanwei has some stupid designs as well.

It depends. Do you want tacky Chinese rubber or the usual more European rubber?

Mercury 2 is very very tacky, as tacky as any DHS rubber could be.

Sanwei UltraSpin is not tacky at all. But the top sheet has enough grip so you can learn how to impart spins on the ball.

If you are not sure which one to get, the general advice is to get Sanwei UltraSpin. Tackiness in the rubber is a decision most players make later in their training. They like to start with a "regular" rubber so to speak.

If it's for beginners in their first year or so you could just go for the Sanwei T88-III Training double pack. I've sold a lot of these and clubs use them for beginners, but if they have played for two-three years the Sanwei - Ultra Spin would be a really perfect rubber, like JJ Ng wrote.

I've tried both, and all cheap under 7$ Aliexpress rubbers. Best is Kokutaku 868 imo - similarly spinny and powerful as Mercury 2 Medium, but tackiness last so much longer. Perfect for FH.
On BH, Tornado V5 or Mercury 2 Soft works great for me.

I Agree with Mocker... Sanwei T-88 III has amazing control, and is pretty much a do-it-all type of rubber..
Mercury II too has very good control.. I consider myself an advanced-beginner/intermediate players, but I'm still using both, Sanwei Y-88III, and Mercury II on some of my setups.. I find Mercury II to a bit lighter than T88-III.. Mercury II is tacky, but not as tacky as DHS Hurricane III series..
