Review of Yinhe Jupiter 3 AsiaCurrently, I am using the Uranus Pro on BH, along with a slightly slower but more controlled blade (729 Yellow Carbon ALC) used to have a Timo Boll Spirit. I have always used fast Butterfly equipment, but due to the high prices now, I have been looking for a more budget-friendly alternative. The blade and BH rubbers suit me well. However, for my FH, I have been trying some Chinese rubbers (H8-80, Ak47red and blue, and 729 Dragon F). Recently, I got J3 39°, and I was extremely impressed. It is significantly faster compared to the four rubbers I mentioned earlier. The Ak47 didn't work well for me as I found it difficult to push underspin with them, while H8-80 and Dragon F were tacky, and therefore, easier to push underspin, they lacked power for my playing style as I am not a very skilled player but a very aggressive one. However, the J3 has everything I need: speed, control, and spin. It is easy to push underspin, and the topspins are incredibly effective with a low trajectory, high speed, and high spin. The flat hits feel like gunshots. I understand that my lack of skill may be a factor, but I find the spin of the J3 to be just as good, if not better, than that of the H8-80 (which was the spinniest among the rubbers I tried). So, I have decided to stick with my setup with J3 39° on FH. I am very happy with this setup and I don't believe that other setups, including those with D9c on FH and other expensive equipment, are necessarily better (I tried some of them, but I really like mine better or just don’t see much difference), and mine costs less than a single sheet of D9c, so I am very satisfied. With just two weeks I cannot evaluate the durability of the J3, but I clean the rubber with a soft makeup sponge and a little bit of water after a playing session, and let it dry to apply a non sticky protector, so it will likely last if it has durability at least similar to the rubbers I tried. So, for now, very happy and this is a very good rubber for offensive players.
