Speed : 10 + Control : 6 Layers : Cypress + 4 carbon If you are looking for a blade that defines solid, this blade will do it for you. 4 layers of top-notch carbon sandwiched between 5 layers of Cypress gives you a blade that is all sweet-spot. Yinhe T-4 S will throw the ball low (reduced dwell time) and fast. This is one of those blades that define what modern Chinese quality is about. Compare this blade to the $100+ Butterfly Schlager Carbon style blades and you find the same build quality, but less than half the price.
