Yinhe 988

it could be good as comparable to T-11 blade. the different 988 is penhold and T-11 is handshake. price wise. 988 cost half of T-11 price.

It’s a cheap blade and considering its price it’s quite good if you like harder blades like this one. I’ve used it with Yinhe Mercury 2 and Loki Rxton 1. These are pretty slow rubbers and I felt that. This composition wasn’t particularly fast for me and I’d use ESN rubber on the backhand (yes, it has a backhand side). If you like J pen it’s okay considering the price.

Ok, I recently bought this and used it (one side of course) with a Dawei 388a-4 (Hard+Tacky). After about 1 week of training. I am able to deal a heavy attack to enemies. Smaller board and a rectangular one means it has a stronger power and speed. I am able to 3rd ball attack very well, and I manage to beat Defenders 4-1 that I used to beat 4-3/Lose 3-4. As for beginners, I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PADDLE. You will not develop feeling of the blade and ball well if you use this as your first paddle. But If you are an Offensive Jpen, and you feel your paddle is slow/need more speed. I would reccomend this to you. But beware of the self kill power this has, if you smash too hard against a lightning reaction player, You will be killed if you act slower than them. They will block and I have a hard time dealing with them although I win. As Consistency, you need to develop good contact points , I mean, don't miss your ball more than 2 inches if you need a good consistency, (But really, who misses that much?) For people who say the consistency is not always identical, please train more. If you like control, DON'T BUY THIS PADDLE. It will mess you up. I guarantee you, The control is just too decent, I mean placement is very good, but you can only control a fast game, this paddle not good for slow game. Passive blocks are solid with this blade, fast ball, and if you can drive well, this paddle can overwhelm your opponent. I cannot say that this paddle is for allround players, But I can say that it's very suitable with "power" players and "speed" players.

Good paddle, good sound, good speed, good control. i play pen hold, but i like the option to back hand so i prefer short handle rackets. I paired with galaxy 9000 rubber. Great paddle for me to practice with.

Good blade but chinese penhold is better and i am happy i switched
