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

8 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 12 is a modern non-tacky offensive rubber designed for speed and spin with the plastic ball. Its elastic MAX TENSE construction creates a more automatic response than Yinhe's tacky series. Blue and green are colour variants of the same canonical model.

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.
