YINHE (Milkyway) 12B 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 from a high quality carbon base and quality rubbers and is suitable for both beginners and advanced amateur players. As a budget option, as well as for those who do not want to bother with the selection of individual bases and overlays.

This is a full-fledged 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 racket has a pleasant ball feel. Not very hard, somewhere in the middle between medium and hard. The handle is quite thick and wide in the hand lies very comfortably.

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 excellent with this racquet.

Even though this racquet is cheaper than those that are assembled from separate components (the base plus a pair of rubbers), it can successfully compete at the amateur level and even higher. Because the racket 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. This is usually YINHE Mars II, Venus II, Jupiter II, Sun, Moon, although others may come across, such as Saturn Pro. Naturally, these are only smooth overlays, not spikes. 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.

Base note. Unlike 10B and lower racquets with carbon blades, the 11B and higher racquets use blades of a higher class - with arylate carbon, kevlar carbon, etc. What exactly will fall on a particular copy of the racket is a lottery (to choose something specific, you need to assemble a racket from separately purchased bases and overlays), but the main difference between rackets 11B and higher is that they generally use more expensive and best gaming properties components. Also, on 12B and above, the handle has a more beautiful and expensive design.

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 pads and base will have better playing properties (although this difference is reduced for the most expensive racquets of the series, since they are made from higher quality components). 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 advanced 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 ones, 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.
