Review of Yinhe J-1Hello, since there are so many bad reviews of this blade, i want to share my take on it. One reason for this big difference between all reviews could be that there are different versions of this blade. I am referring to the CS short handle penhold version. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32969977592.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3c894c4dbDIVPH This blade, if you pair it with the right rubbers is amazing in many aspects. I have tested it with very hard chinese style rubbers like for FH: Nittaku Hurricane Pro III Turbo Blue, H3 Nat Blue sponge and Donic BlueGrip C1. The result is quite amazing and if i have to choose between this 3 FH rubbers No.1 would be Donic, No.2 Nittaku Hurricane and No.3 would be H3 Blue Sponge Nat.When playing with theese rubbers on FH, speed is very slow when you are playing soft and when using more power, the speed is comparable with my fastest carbon super Zlc Butterfly blade Jun Mizutani. The difference is that with that expensive Butterfly blade, i dont have the same feeling and control in the soft touch play. So this Galaxy J-1 blade has so many gears and a feeling/control that only a 1 ply blade can offer - its very unique. Also for the BH side i strongly recommend hard to very hard Chinese tacky rubbers like H3 style. It is a fantastic combination with this extreme soft and flexy blade, to pair it with modern Chinese tacky hard rubbers. I have been going thru 80-90 different rubbers, ESN rubbers like T05, Dignics 80 and 09C, all DHS rubbers and many many more. I have at least been thru 50 different blades from Stiga, Butterfly and during the last year i have been testing 1 ply blades with Hinoki, Red Cedar, Yellow Cedar and now also Ayous wood. And Ayous is the best for me, the best combination of worlds.. High speed when you want it, slow soft speed when you want it and the control/feeling is among the best i have ever experienced. And the price is right now USD 24 and i have just orederd 1 more of this master piece. Thank you :-) BC May 27, 2021 | |||||||||||||
