Yinhe lists hardness either as a Chinese sponge degree or as a named grade. Both are shown exactly as published and are never relabelled Shore A, Shore C or ESN. No reliable official Yinhe list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

Variants and configurations

2 variants

Colour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.

Assessment

Moon is Yinhe's classic non-tacky high-tension offensive rubber. It provides a more elastic and automatic response than the brand's tacky forehand rubbers and works particularly well for backhand looping, blocking and controlled offensive play.

Strengths

  • Balanced speed and spin
  • Easy backhand looping
  • Good control for an offensive rubber
  • More automatic than tacky Yinhe rubbers
  • Versatile on both wings

Weaknesses

  • Lower top-end performance than newer Moon variants
  • Less effective for very tack-dependent serve and short-game styles
  • Some reported consistency variation between sheets

Best for

  • Intermediate two-wing attackers
  • Backhand-dominant players
  • Players wanting an affordable Japanese-style response

Not ideal for

  • Players seeking maximum tackiness
  • Expert players wanting the fastest Moon version

Known users

Offensive club and league players who want a spin-first inverted sheet on the forehand or backhand.

Yinhe Galaxy publishes no athlete roster for this sheet, so TTDNA shows the player profile it is built for instead of invented names.
