Best Galaxy Blades

Wondering what ppl think are the best offerings of Yinhe/Galaxy/Milky Way

Here is the complete line up: http://yinhe1986.cn/english/news/listst.asp?s_id=5

I am particularly interested in the non WRB models, but I guess what I was hoping for was a best of breed of the the numerous models.

I like the k-3 and k-5 both as well, the whole K series, from everything I've read, is a good lot. If you like composite blades and are on a budget, they are the way to go. 

played t-7, t-8,t-4, k-5, w-6, w-1, v-1..

all are good for their purpose

T-1, T-10, T-11, N-2, N-3, E-4 here

Dear Kolev, you should try this new Galaxy blade

This is for sure. 

The blade has a very professional finish, plays like T-1 with more control. Probably due to the Saturn rubbers, too. Sounds like there is hinoki inside, but its constructor prefers not to divulge the composition of the blade, at least for now.

Ohhhh boy, I am ready to pay some money for this one.......but isn't that a joke.....

What is so special about this carbon?Soft or hard? Do you know how heavy is it? 

Where is he? In Sofia? I am from Sofia

The e series and Uranus blades have a softer, more elastic gluing compared with earlier galaxy blades. Meant to adapt to the glue ban.
I have a Uranus II (straight handle 24*28 190 gr listed weight 187) and it,s a renewed version of the m-6 (Uranus I for m-5). U-2 has quality koto outer veneer, paper thin on a softer second layer. Same build as  m-6 (which I only read reviews of) but 6,0 mm thickness instead of 5,8.
The increased thickness makes it stiffer more stable and the different gluing gives more elasticity and softness.
Qualitywise as far as I can tell it ecquals my Hurrican Hao which is amazing for a blade I got for twenty-two euro's.

I always use tacky or semi tacky on fh. Higher transcend is good (for me) on fh. Firm but with a little higher throw and holds the ball long enough to loop at least for me it does.
On bh basic japanese rubber no tensor/tension 2,0 mm suits me fine. But you can put all kinds of rubber on this one depending what you want. In a class between off/off+ it is an allround attacking blade with chinese rubber in between a flathitting and loopersblade and that,s what I was looking for. Initially the feel was still little hard/stiff for me but it softened up nicely with a few sessions of play.

That,s the type of stroke and distance to table where I had problems with the hurricane hao and now it is much better with a not to fast semi-tacky rubber.

I used Samsonov alpha in the past it sure was slower and softer then U-2.

Based on the build of e-series the ratings could be right. The e-series i think you can expect a little more solid feel and longer bladeface then samsonov alpha which seems not bad for you,re stroke as I found samsonov apha also not solid enough for hard topspins. Little heavier also especially with rubber because of longer bladeface. But it depends a lot on the weight of a specific blade how they compare. U- series would be more suitable if you also mix in flat-hits from that distance.

I can,t compare with Hurricane King and Spirit maybe some others can compare m-6 to these that would apply for the u-2 also then(more or less). K-4 is a boll spirit kind a blade and it also has 9 for speed.

These are all very different blades. But it definately has a noticable flex (and "zip" on loops) that,s what they aimed at with the different gluing for both series to compensate for the glue ban. But less then samsonov alfa, harder also because of the firm three ply core.
The koto outer layer is thin and between that layer and the three firm coreplies there is a softer layer (thinner then each of the core layers but thicker then the outerply). Therefor the koto doesn,t work out on stiffness too much. Maybe because of this build it is noticably more flexible now then the first time I used it. It certainly is good at powerlooping the way you show on the video. But it,s much more powerfull then samsonov alpha. Controlwise you gain precision for hard impact strokes like on the video because of the stability.


The e-series is mostly the same thickness (6 mm) some little thinner and are surely fitted for powerlooping. Certainly more solid then samsonov alpha also. Estimated that would be 7 at most according to galaxy rating.
8 in speed with galaxy is not slow at all, faster then samsonov alpha that,s for sure. But again blades vary a lot within a model.

The added value of a sevenply lies in the wider sweetspot because of more torsion stability.
What you loose compared with a fiveply like samsonoph alpha is some feel and control on low impact control strokes.
