Yinhe T-6

Easy to use for me as a modern defense blade. I have one with DHS Cloud & Fog 3 1.0mm and a DHS H3N and it performs perfectly. In most aspects of the game the blade appears to be quite slow and very easy to control, however I can still hit and loop with it up to mid distance. Great ALL+ blade.

Controlled T-11+ with soft sponge. UPDATE: BTY 1.9 Sriver-FX on FH & LKT Rapid Soft for Bh... blade plays beautiful style all round mix game

Among the many blades I have tried, this is one of the best ones. At the very least, you will get a lot of "bang" for your "bucks", especially if you select a very light blade. I have seen 85g blades and heavier, and these do not support my game very well, they just feel too much like an iron frying pan. However, over time I have been able to find four very light blades. They are 74g, 76g, 77g and 79g. The 76g one still works great while the 74g one seems to lose some of the T-6's characteristic features. It is a little slower and not as linear. The T-6 usually gives you a "straight" or linear feeling, which I need for pushes and blocking. Moreover, because of the Hinoki outer plies, opening loops still work really well, at least with the Vega Japan or Tibhar Evolution (EL-P, EL-S, FX-S and FX-P) rubbers. In comparison, most wooden blades feel mushy to me. Control is awesome in light blades. If you put a slower rubber on it, you can play a very good allround game and you can chop and push superbly. However, I recommend not to try Neo Hurricane III or other harder rubbers on this blade. Without a lot of training, you will keep missing the table by a few centimetres in longline topspins. Quality and craftsmanship of this blade are really good and at least as good as the 3-4 Stiga blades or even the Donic World Champion blades I have tried. The only blade that looked better from the start was the Victas Firefall FC. However, what you probably should do is sand off the hard edges with sandpaper so your grip becomes more comfortable and also I would strongly recommend sealing the blade. The flared handle is very good and not only made for small hands like the Nittaku blades. All in all, I'm rating this at 9.5.

Good blade for all-round & attack style.

The T-6 is like the other T-Series blades hard and stiff. Speed is a bit faster than a Donic WSC but much slower than the T-8 or T-11+ and a bit slower than a Boll ALC. With the Hinoki outer plies the throw is compared with the T-11+ lower and the touch is a bit softer. But it is still quite hard and stiff. It is much harder and stiffer as e.g. the Boll ALC. It delivers a good feedback and good control. I think if you like hard and stiff you will find a reliable fast blade in the OFF- range with the T-6.
