Galaxy table tennis blades

You may also want to look at the table I made of Galaxy blades in this thread:

cole,

can you give some details about the blades you mentioned: W1, W6, U2006?

I have an W2, I'm happy with the way I play with it, but you say on your site that you consider the W1 to be better than the W2. Since I switched from an all wood blade to W2(carbon) my game improved allot. I have control close and far to/from the table, with the previous all wood blade I could play only close to the table, far from it was a game of hazard.

About the U2006 if you take in consideration this thread:

you can say that U2006 is a clone of Liqin's blade, at least the head of the blade.

Maybe you can give us more info if you tried the blades. Thanks.

No, the pings OK, Its the Larger Hard Sweetspot that you get with just plain Carbon.

Great for Flat smashing, just not good for that gentle touch required in today's technical game.

The Arylate/Carbon, has a much softer feel to it, more like the timber blades.

Haven't tried the U-6 (2006) as yet,

I've tried nearly all the T-Series, and yes they have that Carbon feel to them, As for the W-1, it does nothing for me, Quality blade, just cant justify that sort of money on a chinese blade,

To me, the K-series are good, especially the K-3, If your after an all wood blade, you cant go past the M-6. Probably the best all wood blade I have tried out of YinHe at the moment

i got my t-2 today! god is it quick

   t-4 t-8 do they have small handles�

They feel Medium Hard, are not a copy from any other company, Just a well made budget blade, that will do it for most beginners. Not Slow, but not super fast.

Put it to you this way, I would have no problems playing a league match with any of the N series blades.

wind carbon=dhs wind carbon blade  a fast blade but small handle blaDE

 what galaxy blade would be comparable to wind carbon or faster ? to be used with SP.

Anybody know anything about the blades in the N series?

yeh thats the thing, i mean my dotecs got carbon and all that but it feels quite slow, when i play with primorac carbon it felt slowr than that, and im like y is it rated offf+?!?!?!

Everyone agrees T-1 is fast. Can anyone comment how it feel?   

That will depend on you and your game.

If you really like the feel and touch you get with a wooden blade, then you may want to stick with them.

Carbon and composite blades have their advantages, but they may not suit you.

I was talking with a friend yesterday, who has gone back to using his Tibhar Samsonov Alpha, after using a Joola Rossi Force and Tibhar Samsonov Premium Carbon during the last year.

He found he preferred playing with the Alpha, due to it's better feel and touch.

His problem with the carbon blades was their was no vibration after the shot like a wooden blade. The vibration in the Alpha he'd learnt to read, as a guide to determining if he was playing a shot right or wrong.

That is why some players dislike composite and carbon blades, which they consider as dead compared to wooden blades. Players who use the vibration as a guide will benefit from a wooden blade.

I must admit the only carbon blade I've tried was a Palio model, with H3  and it did feel dead compared to the wooden Tibhar Samsonov Premium I was using at the time.

Initially I felt the same way about arylate carbons too, i.e. they had less touch and feel than wooden blades. I also felt they were a better option for me; than the Palio carbon blade I tried.

I now feel differently about using arylate carbon blades, as my game has improved since I started using them in May because :

1) I've learnt how to use them effectively and be comfortable playing with them.
2) I've been lucky enough to play and train against better players than me in the last few months.  I have also asked them for their advice.
3) I benefit from the bigger sweetspot they offer
4) I prefer their lack of vibration after the shot compared to a wooden blade.
5) I've found rubbers that are a good match with the blades.

Blade choice is a personal thing.

My friend prefers his all wood Samsonov Alpha, whereas I prefer arylate carbons.
