Review of Friendship/729 Dynasty Super CarbonI guess this blade is popular in china where some players just want to hit the ball hard, but for me it's just way too hard and fast for any mortal player to use. I don't recommend it at all. There are many other friendship blades that I prefer in the off+ range, including the will power. That's where I would go if I were looking for an off+ composite from friendship.

Review of Yinhe W-6Disclaimer...this is a blade I import and sell. This is the blade I use personally. As stated by tommy it is formulated like the Yasaka Extra and it looks itentical other than the handle. It's a great looping blade that adds to topspin nicely. It also has a fantastic tone that resonates perfectly with a speed glued rubber like a sounding board. This is my "violin." It's not fast or stiff enough to play a close to the table, chinese style, serve and attack game. This is very much a euro looping blade. That said, both ma lin and wang hao used the YE for years in penhold so go figure. Of course they used 45deg sponge dripping in speed glue.

Review of Yinhe 896I call this blade a "poor man's w6," so you can apply a lot of the w6 review to this blade. However, the outer plies are a bit cheaper ayous, and the overall craftsmanship isn't quite up to the w6. However it's a steal at the typical price. Very spinny and geared for a topspin looping game. I don't recommend this one for beginners despite the price and speed ratings. It's a bit springy in the short game. But for someone wanting to learn to loop, this will do it with the best of them and at a steal of a price.
