i believe the t4 and t5 are the fastest in the t range,the t2 is the `slowest`but beware the t2 is very fast and is off+i would say this is faster than the kreanga carbon ------------- Black Balsa 3.0 fh/tenergy 05 1.9 388d ox |

I�ve tested some blade of the T- and the K-Series. The K-Series is much better. |

I have a couple of T7, and it's very much an all around blade marked as being "medium."
I also have a couple of T8 which, in comparison, is extremely fast. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

im looking for the fastest range of the galaxy carbon blades as i attack in both wings, i like carbon blades as it allows me to do crispy shots, i also have a arylate and carbon blade which is slightly softer which i find good for looping! ------------- Spin to win =p |

In my opinion after testing all the Galaxy blades, the 992 would be the
fastest. Not only has it got three layers of carbon, but is very thin
blade. Only 5.8mm. thus giving a slingshot effect when hitting the
ball. Its the ultimate Speed Machine. ------------- Distributor for Andro, XIOM, Tibhar, Joola, Dr Neubauer, Donic, DHS, AIR, Dawei, 729 & Yinhe http://www.affordablett.com.au" rel="nofollow - http://www.affordablett.com.au |

 The GALAXY T-3 also has three layers of carbon
I have a T-1 and the T-4.
The T-1 is definately faster than the T-4. Similar speed to the BTY W.Schlager Carbon, but less control. It's worth a try cause is so damn cheap

The T-1 is the faster I've seen, faster than both the T2 and T4. It does not have the 'clank' sound like some others have, the feel is not really that hard... but it's very fast!

Its marked as Medium, but its defenitly not!!! Its fastern than my Maze Off. I think its only markes as Medium, because it is slower then the other blades from the T-Series. But again. The K-Series is much better then the T-Series. The K1 is very fast. Although the K4 and the K6. All of them has a great touch and control, while beeing very fast. legout |

I can tell you after trying all the T- series blades, that the Galaxy 992 is faster again. But I will agree that the K6 is a very lovely blade with good touch and control. The T-series feel to stiff in my books. ------------- Distributor for Andro, XIOM, Tibhar, Joola, Dr Neubauer, Donic, DHS, AIR, Dawei, 729 & Yinhe http://www.affordablett.com.au" rel="nofollow - http://www.affordablett.com.au |

They have thin outer hinoki layers, Very nice finish. They Carbon layers are close to the top.

A friend in Yorkshire ordered a variety of Galaxy blades from the U, T and N series, along with the 896. He mentioned he was impressed with the build quality, which was consistently high and after testing the blades with some clubmates, found them also to be good blades to play with. He was particularly impressed with the 896 and the N series. One of his clubmates tested the T2 and liked it so much, he bought the blade as a replacement for his Timo Boll Spirit. I've not been lucky enough to try out any of the blades he ordered, but I do own a Galaxy K4. It's got a conical handle which is very comfortable in the hand. The build quality of the blade is high and it plays as well as any other quality arylate carbon I have in my TT bag; with good touch and control, as pointed out by Legout and pingpongrob. |

Is the galaxy 992 a fast with control blade for off the bounce looping on the table using palio cj8000? also i�m not planning to reglue. is the 992 faster than stiga clipper or even yasaka dynamix17? thanx in advance? |

You mean T-1 does not have the 'ping' carbonee sound even though its outer layers are thin?
Thanks!

Following up to my post around speed glue, is a carbon blade or composite blade recommended as I get back into this game? I prefer an offensive stance. Thanks ------------- Ian |

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. |

| Anybody know anything about the blades in the N series? |
Posted By: pingpongrob
Date Posted: 09/29/2007 at 9:18pm
What would you like to Know. The N series, is the economy range from Yinhe, In fact most of the N series are 5 ply wood, there are a couple with 7 ply. They are at best OFF in speed. In my mind, they all feel the same, the only differance is the handle design. They tend to charge more for the fancier design of the handle. ------------- Distributor for Andro, XIOM, Tibhar, Joola, Dr Neubauer, Donic, DHS, AIR, Dawei, 729 & Yinhe http://www.affordablett.com.au" rel="nofollow - http://www.affordablett.com.au |

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. ------------- Distributor for Andro, XIOM, Tibhar, Joola, Dr Neubauer, Donic, DHS, AIR, Dawei, 729 & Yinhe http://www.affordablett.com.au" rel="nofollow - http://www.affordablett.com.au |

Can't speak for the T-8, but all the T-4's I have seen (15ish-FL Handles) have been pretty thick handles. I file my handle down and still end up with a nice sized straight handle. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34kRbLNCcpk" rel="nofollow - Fred 49 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGShBxEKnDk%20rel=" rel="nofollow - I once could serve |

I've tried T3, T7 and T8 and I believe all the T series will have a fairly prominent carbon feel and tone. Some people like that. If you don't, buck up and buy a w1. ------------- Wavestone St with Illumina 1.9r, defender1.7b Please let me know if I can be of assistance. |

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.

Posted By: pingpongrob
Date Posted: 10/11/2007 at 2:12am
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. ------------- Distributor for Andro, XIOM, Tibhar, Joola, Dr Neubauer, Donic, DHS, AIR, Dawei, 729 & Yinhe http://www.affordablett.com.au" rel="nofollow - http://www.affordablett.com.au |

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: http://www.mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13516&PN=1 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. |

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

I just bought a K-4 from Cole as well as a T-2. I got to hit with them only for a few minutes today, so it's hard to say much about them yet. I do think the T-2 is faster. Also, I can add a couple of physical observations about them.
The blade quality seems to be good, but not quite what I would call up to butterfly standards. The T-2 has a very hard and smooth outer ply, while the K-4's was more coarse, a bit thinner and softer. I felt the need to very lightly sand the K-4 before I very lightly sealed it. The T-2 probably didn't need to be sealed, but I also put a very light coat of Minwax wipe-on poly on it.
The K-4 weights 86 grams and has a hollow handle, but doesn't seem overly head-heavy. The T-2 was heavier than I expected at 82 grams, but that's ok as it's still pretty light.
