New pips-out rubber for the new non-celluloid ball.
The latest pips-out rubber from Yinhe is designed with the new non-celluloid ball in mind. With strong built-in tensor effect, the softer sponge enables faster rebounds while maximizing rubber surface and ball contact. Uranus Poly provides enhanced speed and improve arc generation: it is a force multiplier for the offensive pips-out player.
Update: These short pips are pretty easy to use and take a few minutes to adjust the angle to make stroke like using an inverted rubber. I used Yinhe Uranus Poly (max) for the backhand side paired with Xiom Extreme S as my backup and the results were quite impressive. This rubber makes it easy for me to receive the opponent's serve even to attack early if possible with push blocks, loop, even flat attacks to score points. As a novice user of short pips I got a new experience and was quite satisfied because I was able to win in some games that were difficult to achieve before. Recommended to try it.
First of all, I would like to say that my opinion concerns the improved version of uranus poly "Jean". The rubber is very fast. Faster than Waran, but with less rotation. It also has slightly better control compared to Waran. Very good for short game and backand cuts. Reacts poorly to the upcoming rotation. Very good for flat wrist shots - backand side. A very successful product for a very low price.
A very strange rubber, at odds with itself. Widely spaced pips, less dense than 802-40, which reduces spin and speed. But it has a softer and more grippy topsheet which increase spin. Also a soft, thick (measures 2.1), and slow sponge which also increases spin. Combined with the pips, it's really only good at reversing spin. If you try to counter the spin, then the deception is good, but the margin for error is terrible. The soft sponge is very light, I got a cut weight of 34 grams. So to sum up, an all around rubber that is not good at a lot of all around shots. Not good at opening with pace, not good at blocking, not good at serves. Could be good at chopping, but the sponge is too thick. Very puzzled at Yinhe's design choices with this one...
I am a trad penholder, I experimented with pips out, so my setup is a allround wood + This rubber + Yinhe Neptune 1.8mm, So I twiddle and confuse opponent.
firstly, I want to say that this rubber is insane with proper technique, Looping with the bat angle nearly parallel to table and hitting the ball in the back area gives a fast AND after the ball hits the table (usually close to the edge) the ball just goes flat for a short time then it sinks to the floor, SO opponent may not serve long unless they want this to happen. (Opponent usually ends up lobbing my smashes if they manage to return this)
If you use LP on the other side, returning short / medium serves with a bit aim makes your opponent out-maneuver-ed by your play, and even though they won the first/first 2 set(s), the next 4/3 sets, they are too tired and exhausted to play and you didn't move too much before, so you will win the match
i played this rubber before in cpen, speed is at par with 802-40, but this is more spinnier, soft sponge, it generates a good arc when looping and semi smash, plays like 802-40 but this one has softer sponge, blocking is good but it gives a medium throw in return, 802-40 is better in blocking because of lower throw, anyway this really a bang for the money cheap but plays very good. what more could you ask for the price.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>update, sponge is too soft, average control, very deceptive gives you unusual ball bounce, not so good in blocks, spinny short pips
