I have tried T-2, it s good, feels like Sardius but a little less control, but still good at its price. When some guys at a club asked me how much the blade is, they believe it is $50 when i told them. Actually, i got that one for just $15.

I tried T4. It is a great deal for the price and a real bargain. The one I tied out had no visible flaws that I could tell. I usually use Stiga and BTY and it has a good feel. It has a similar feel to the Maze/TBS BTY line but a little different. I use TBS personally and since the handle is different it just felt awkward at first. But it had a dead feeling as well but sounded slightly different when struck. I'm not sure why but it could because of the different layering on the Arylate. At $40 you can't beat it. |

I got it in Vietnam. I m from Vietnam, but now i m in the US. Everything that made from China, we got it at a very low price in Vietnam, for saying Globe999 or Globe999T with normal Chinese sponges, it s $4/each, and $11 for H2 and H3. I wish i could find that price here.

Is it a fragile blade or was that an accident. How did it play? |

i got the chance to view one of the galaxy milkyway or in chinese they called it Yin He blade which im very interested in. its the titanium one... compared to other galaxy blade which is also in flared (FL) handle, this model handle is slightly smaller and compact which i would say similar to Butterfly primo vitesse (small rounded flared). other galaxy blade handle which are also in flared were quite bigger and rounded but more of a circle round rather than an oval round if we observe it at the cross section. Both have good workmanship. the top most layer after the titanium layer of the galaxy model is a great kiso hinoki layer. id also did some bouncing of balls on the galaxy titanium blade comparing it with stiga titanium WRB and found that galaxy titanium have a very much higher pitch sound and stiffer (i wound say it is faster due to higher density of the blade) compared to stiga titanuim which has more feeling and much lesser pitch sound. Quite to my surprise, the weigh of galaxy titanium is more or less 85g-87g which is less than stiga titanium of 95g-97g. Stiga titanium WRB cost about $100 US dollar (RM380) while galaxy titanium cost $75 US Dollar (RM290) here in Malaysia....hmmm sounds interesting if you are a titanium fan... for me is too fast...well you'll be the judge

In general, galaxy blades are considered to be one of the top two or three mass-produced brands in China, and they make a lot of stuff for other companies like butterfly and tibhar. Much like sunflex in that regard.

In terms of rubbers they are minor to 729 and DHS.
But for blades they are more superior to both. They are less popular because they are "poor", they don't have the financial to support any world class players or any commercials. unlike 729 and DHS. But their blades are of great quality and are very popular in china. but not rubbers. There's also a brand called "Sword" also gaining more popularity in china. |

So the T-2 is faster than the T-1 and it is similar to both the Schlager and Sardius. Thanks for the list C.Y. it is very helpful. Is the T-3 or T-4 similar to the Gergely?

I have a typo, T1 should be like Schlager carbon and T2 should be like Primorac carbon. T1 is faster than T2. T3 and T4 are not that popular as T1/T2, I don't know what their structure/material are.

The T3 & T4 have 3 and 4 layers of carbon, I don't think there would be any equivalents... The T4 feels very fast and rigid!

Thanks CY, Hieupham thought the T-2 similar to the Sardius which is faster than the Primorac but slower than the Schlager. So it is all falling into place. Looks like I can find some cheap replacements for my Sardius and Gergely.

Even though T1/T2 are similar to Schlager/Primorac, T1/T2 are slower than their counterpart but much easier to control. Usually Galaxy is famous for their wood blades, but T1, T2 and K4 has very good performance, especially given their low price.

I gather those info from other Chinese users' input over the time.
Isn't there an edit function? I'd like to fix my typo on T1 and T2. |

I have the 896. Gotta love the galaxy handles...so fat and...I'm getting ahead of myself. My next blade will definitely be another Galaxy.
I also play with Galaxy rubber, the 9000E. VERY Spinny. |

i tested T8 Shakehand only one time speedglued with bryce max and hammond pro alpha max. First to say is that the blade is very heavy (96g). Due to similar system like stigas wrb its very headheavy. I dislike headheavy blades! The blade was very fast and the control was ok. Quite soft touch due hinoki outerply similar to primorac carbon. I dont like the handle at all. I feels so cheap, no wood like feel. Overall its a good blade for his price. I paid 30�. |

I have 986 carbon j-pen, and it's the best I found for pips out play in the likes of Kim Wan, Kim Ki Taek and Hyun Jung Hwa, who used BTY Senko-5, which I was not too comfortable with in the way the handle fits my hand. I would definitely recommend it. Shaved the cork in the back for RPB, where I use smooth. Even with rubbers on both sides, it's not heavy at all, which is pretty important for fast pips out play close to the table. Perhaps the best thing about it is the 986 logo at the end of the handle is the same 986 upside down! LOL!!
