Yinhe Moon 12 Blue Review
Tested in a Viscaria ALC as a backhand rubber. This rubber comes in blue color only and 3 different hardness: M- , M+ and H. (mine is medium soft***.***
First Impressions:
This rubber is darn slow even in a fast blade like Viscaria. But for me, i like the rubber because of how consistent it is and how spinny your shots will be when proper stroke is applied. And even tho it's very soft (i believe in 42°), it doesn't feel mushy or bouncy so for me, blocking incoming spin is good.
Drive:
Very easy to do with this rubber because i feel confident doing backhand drive and not worry about overshooting the ball.
Loops:
For me this is where the rubber shines. It is easy to loop long backspin serves and the ball will have crazy topspin so it is not easy to block for the opponent.
Flicks:
The same with loop, it is also very easy to flick a serve. And same with the loop aswell, the ball will have decent amount of spin to disturb the timing of my opponent.
Serves:
I usually do a chop or a side chop serve on my backhand and for me the rubber does a great job on doing those serves, a lot of time my opponents are having a hard time recieving my serves.
This rubber is recommendable for beginners to intermediate where they face players that struggles with spinny shots. This rubber won't help you get speed on every shot you make but for me the spin compensate the slow ball (not super slow but reasonably slow). I liked it better than my dignics 05 because it felt like the ball stays longer to the rubber (dwell time) than the dignics 05 and i also liked it better than acuda s2 because the acuda s2 is super spin sensitive because of it being super bouncy. If you want a cheap and a go to simple rubber, this is it.
