What is the Galaxy T-7 made out of? I just bought it & I love it, but I'm not sure what kind of wood it is made out of...

Thin stiffer ply - Arylate Carbon - Thick softer ply - Arylate Carbon - Thin stiffer ply

I just don't know what the wood pies are

It's hinoki outer and ayous inner.

It used to be way slower than t8, but lately t8 has only been a little faster.

Ss may be right. Cypress or juniper could be...something like that.

That's a bit too much. I was thinking about trying one out but was hoping for 85-86 g or less.

The outers are probably juniper, same as T-4 and T-8.

I don't have a scale to weigh mine, but with 2.1 Rasant & 2.0 IQUL SV, it is pretty heavy. I would guess my blade is around 90 grams

And thanks! I thought it was ayous & cypress. It feels just perfect for looping. I've never experienced anything better. I used to use a limba outer ply, but the T-7 feels so so so good to play with!

I've never owned a composite blade before, so I took a gamble with this one Smile

I own a T-7 and play matches occasionally with it. I bought it about three years ago, it is an 87 g one, which is on the lower side I hear. I like the blade quite a bit, there is a nice balance in it and a nice handle, but it is heavier than my preferred ones, and boy is it stiff (not that hard, it is arylate carbon). One advantage over my current stuff is that the T-7 plays well from mid distance. I liked it with the 802 pip, too.

Could you compare its stiffness to some more common blades? thanks!

I dunno... Grubba Carbon, maybe. I have pretty much so far avoided all the power blades out there... The T-7 was my second venture into the OFF- category, after Grubba Carbon. T-7 stiffness is about comparable to the 95 g Juic SBAlpha that I have. 
Also, the T-7 is rated by the maker as Medium fast, Offensive, and it is about 6.0 mm thick .
