Galaxy / Yin-He

Galaxy MC-1 is a great blade. Center ply grain runs blade surface to blade surface.

MC and W Series are very nice.

MC series works well with medium/hard sponge rubbers, while EC series works only with soft/medium sponge rubbers.

Don't forget that the K-series range have good blades!!!(A/C).

which is the best galaxy blade for fast smashing and blocking close to the table propong?

De-6 is a bit stiffer (it doesn't have 3 arylate layers like De-1) and when you use it with OX, you get more disruptive effect when blocking. De-1 has more control and is a bit faster. Both blades are good for smashing, but a friend of mine broke one De-1 after a very hard smash (I quess it was the first release of these blades from the factory and others will not have this problems). De-6 is harder to master compared to De-1. The speed of both blades is ALL/ALL+.

'how about galaxy t1 and t4?

Hi,
In general (BTY, Stiga, Donic, Galaxy) which are the good Composite blades (Carbon) for looping and mid table game???

Thanks,

Vivek

Hi,
I dont know how you guys calculate ALL+ or OFF+, 13 years back i use to play with stiga carbon. After a gap of 13 years i am staring again, then i had very few choice today i have lots of choices so i am little bit confused. What i want is a blade which is good for looping and mid table game, so a blade with speed, spin and control.

As far as rubber goes i have played with Mark V (FH and BH) and also played with PF4 on my BH. Probably i will go with Mark V, sriver or Stiga almana.

Do post your opinion.

Thanks,
Vivek

Propong, thanks for ur guidance. But i want to buy a composite blade so i can use it for long run and i am more comfortable with them .Can you suggest anything in that segment.

Thanks,

I agree with BHDoom, W1 and W2 are the best, but also very high priced. If you can afford them it's a good choice. They are rather hard to master, but after a few weeks of practise they become excellent.

stiga is more known for their all wood blades, most people have good things to say about the clipper unless they like light blades, as far as carbon blades, of the three companies you mentioned you should probably go with butterfly, they have so many and a lot of them are really fast, i have heard that the primorac carbon has good feeling and is not overly fast for a carbon blade, i think that galaxy/yinhe makes a cheaper clone of this blade also, i am not sure what model, but you can search the forum to find which ones are clones

I prefer carbon blades over all wood but I think it's just because I've not used an all wood blade in about 10 years. I'll report back with how the T-2 plays hopefully next Friday but I'm not sure if I will run Chinese or Japanese rubbers on it yet. Changing blades doesn't seem to have much affect on my game but I'll try my best to see if it's a good blade :)

Add your T-2 review to the proper thread - I think there is one already. I would also wholeheartedly recommend T-4, it is as fast as T-2 but a bit more controllable despite whatever it is written on Galaxy website or in the tables of SpinSpeedControl numbers available elsewhere...

how bout the K, EC & MC series????
