YINHE (Milkyway) 08B is a rare case, specially selected by me (A. Sypachevsky), when the racket assembled at the factory is suitable for playing table tennis. This racquet is made with a decent carbon base and quality rubbers, and is quite suitable for both beginners and amateur players. As a budget option, as well as for those who do not want to bother with the selection of bases and overlays.

This is an attacking racket (assembled directly at the company's factory) with overlays with a sponge thickness of about 2.0-2.1 mm. It is comfortable to perform all the technical elements, except for the undercut protection - for this it is too fast.

The racquet has a rather stiff ball feel. Not the hardest, somewhere in the middle between medium and hard. The handle is quite thick and wide in the hand lies very comfortably, finished smoothly.

The rotation of the racket is capable of creating a very large amount of both undercuts and serves, and especially when performing topspins and topsuds. Various topspins and topsuds are the main weapons when playing with this racket. Flat shots and rolls are also well executed with this racquet.

Even though this racquet is cheaper than those assembled from separate components (blade plus a pair of rubbers), it can compete successfully at the amateur level 0 - 20. Because the racquet is much less important than the player who controls it. And therefore, due to its own technique and tactics, it is possible to block some of the flaws in the inventory, if any.

Note on the overlays installed on it. They vary from batch to batch, and may differ from copy to copy.

At the same time, although these rubbers are signed and look the same as separately sold YINHE rubbers, they differ in playing properties from separately sold rubbers, as they have a different, cheaper sponge than individual rubbers.

And this should be borne in mind - the difference in price between this racket (assembled at the company's factory) and a set assembled from separate overlays and a base is fully justified by the difference in quality. A racquet assembled from separate overlays and a base will have the best playing properties. However, this racket plays quite decently and allows you to learn the technique of all the basic techniques of table tennis, as well as play at an amateur level. The durability of the rubbers is high, the grip lasts a very long time, in contrast to the "racquets" from the supermarket, even much more expensive, or expensive rackets from fashion brands with portraits of champions on the package.

A note on the YINHE (Milkyway) factory racket series: they have the smallest in the line called 01B and as the number increases, the price and speed increase, as well as playing opportunities. The appearance (design) of the purchased racket may differ from that shown in the photo.

Note on the name of the company: in some stores they write GALAXY instead of YINHE or MILKYWAY, who is interested in knowing the correct name of the company - here is more about it.
