Yinhe Jupiter II

Review of Yinhe Jupiter III really like this rubber. I use the 38 degree, max thickness, black - glued to YH V-14 carbo-kevlar composite blade. As my FH rubber, it feels very crisp and very responsive.The high throw angle makes blocking on the FH side a bit tricky (especially against very spinny loops that dip upon contact with the table); on the other hand, blocking "soft" high-arc loops above the table is not so difficult, because the rubber has a good feeling. The Jupiter 2 feels like a slightly softer DHS Skyline 3 Neo - and it is exactly this extra softness (by 1 or 2 degrees on the DHS scale) that makes it just perfect for me. The spin you can generate is just brutal... (with a relatively long Chinese-style brush-loop motion). Weight is reasonable - mine was 67 g uncut, and 50 g cut to my blade (YH V-14) (157/150). Somehow, I don't think the rubber is suited for BH - at least not in my combination with a composite OFF blade. Maybe on a pure-wood OFF/OFF+ blade (like DHS PG12, for instance) it would fit as a BH rubber, who knows. Overall, I highly recommend this rubber. I would prefer it over much more expensive ones, and the cost-performance ratio is just fantastic (NB: it cost me about 12 euros). Nov 15, 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
