It is a hybrid-type overlay, i.e. combines the best properties from tensors and Velcro. In general, similar in quality and close in behavior to another very successful development of YINHE Big Dipper, but with some changes in character. If in a nutshell, it's a little faster, and has a slightly stronger straight rebound due to this even better suited to the pace and speedy game. The closest to big Dipper is the Medium version, while Soft is further away, and Super Soft is even further away. The softer the sponge version, the lower the weight of the lining. It can also be said that Saturn Pro has more tensor properties, and quite a bit of sticky. From Velcro it has increased control in the short game and a reduced reaction to the coming rotation.
The weight of the lining is smaller than that of the Big Dipper due to a softer and firmer sponge, and tops a little tougher. Due to this, the ball is weaker pressed into the overlay, less time sits on it, and therefore the overlay reacts even less to the incoming rotation. It is very nice when the steep innings and at the blocks on all sorts of twisted tops. Even when a short twisted tops have descended under the table and you try to return it from there at least somehow to return it by a neat touch, it is quite easy to do, while usually it causes a strong shot up with a bad outcome, if you play a pad with a strong reaction to the incoming rotation, for example from the German tensor.
Topspins are hovering - you can do, but it's not a vocation for this lining. They are less dangerous for the opponent than from softer rubbers. The average topspin is great. Powerful tops, topsumdar - excellent. Powerful tops with a lot of rotation - excellent, compared to BigDipper, it spins less, but flies faster, so that in general remains as dangerous and difficult for the opponent.
A short sharp top from the edge of the table, or from the table - magnificently. It is easier to attack on the lower rotation than overlays with a softer topshit. Oddly enough, you can even make nanotops from the table with one teal topshit, if skill allows.
A flat kick is a holiday of some kind. Even on a slow tree ALL- you can make flat blows, as from a machine gun. To interrupt the tops with a flat blow - although even relatively low can be, if the technique is there. Confidently and powerfully interrupted, put on the table reliably. Do not forget to learn the technique of this element, or even without it, even this overlay will not be able to :)
In general, with the exception of hinged tops, this overlay attacks superbly with any other tricks. The hingeds are not great, but just good. It means that it flies from it, and the relative ease and comfort of getting into the opponent's table. Very "friendly" overlay in relation to his master-attacker. And dangerous for his rivals.
The blocks are great. Both handling and speed are good even on a non-fast basis, and the efficiency of the block as it should. In general, there is also a complete order, a 5-plus score.
Short game, pruning - here the lining is noticeably faster than the Big Dipper, but this is despite the fact that BigDipper in the short game is generally rotten. There's more to come. But of course much more control than any fast tensor, here Saturn Pro is out of competition. You can also use defense. But this is generally a typical case for hybrids from the firm Yinhe - they both attack coolly, and defend well.
This version of Super Soft has the greatest rebound power in the series and is better suited to create speed and power, while the tougher have the greater ability to spin.
For modern protection, all three versions are well-suited. Control in pruning is very high, as for such a quick lining.
Summing up - an attacking overlay with outstanding game properties for little money, with a bias in a more acute straight power game. But it is, of course, can be adjusted also by the properties of the base.
