Yinhe T-9

I would say the carbon side is just an OFF and the other side is good enough for pips. The blade is okay but the feel is weird for me and the blades thickness is 9.1 I would prefer to use a 1 ply hinoki blade than this one

The carbon side is really fast, the other side is not as slow as you would like it to play with long pimples, takes a lot of work to control the ball and make the long pimples effective.

The quality of the blade is excellent. I played quite a few years with this blade and it took me to my highest level of play. I used it with short of medium pips on the carbon side and a hard rubber on the non carbon side. The reason I stopped playing with the T9 is that I want to I feel that the dwell time on this blade might be a little bit too short as it is quite a hard blade. This is a trade off for it being very fast, I would rate the non carbon side off and the carbon side off+. So I switched to the Stuor Nobilis ZLC which gives comparable speed but more dwell.

I read somewhere that this blade has his own soul. Well, it's true. It's thick, fast, springy... and very "different". I have fun with it chopping gently and smashing brutally. PPPAM! I made a hole on your side of the table, bro. ;)

So fast, both sides,but in the pimple side with long pimple is very Hard to control ( more in ox version)
