The Yinhe 980 D1, D2 & D3 range gives defensive players three 5-ply all-wood options within Yinhe's established 980 chopping family. Rather than adding unnecessary accessory bundles, this listing focuses on the blades themselves so you can choose the model and handle that best suit your defensive game.

Why Choose the Yinhe 980 D-Series?

Three Defensive CharactersD1, D2 and D3 let you tune the response around counter-attack, damping and controlled chopping.
5-Ply All-Wood ConstructionA natural, feedback-rich feel designed around touch and defensive control rather than excessive rebound.
Built for Modern DefenceDesigned for chopping and variation while retaining useful attacking ability when you step in.
FL & ST OptionsD1 is offered in FL; D2 and D3 are offered in FL and ST where stock is available.

Performance & Playing Characteristics

All three models are 5-ply all-wood defensive blades, but their positioning gives defenders a useful choice. The D1 is the firmer, counter-attack-oriented option; the D2 is positioned around a softer, more damped response for stable chopping; and the D3 continues the classic 980 concept with a control-first defensive character.

Defensive ChoppingLong PimplesSpin VariationCounter-Attack5-Ply All-Wood

D1: best for the defender who attacks more frequently and wants a firmer response. D2: best for players prioritising damping, stability and controlled chopping. D3: best for a classic, balanced defensive game with dependable control.

Who Is the Yinhe 980 D1 / D2 / D3 For?

Choppers, long-pimple users and modern defenders who want to choose their blade around how actively they counter-attack.

Choose D1 for the more attack-minded defensive setup, D2 for a softer and more damped defensive response, or D3 for classic control-focused chopping.
