At first look its a high quality Swedish made blade from Yasaka. The handle needed a few sanding to make it a lil smoother but it wasnt a problem. The blade head has a rounded shaped and its bigger than the YEO in which i measured both blade heads. The Galaxya's blade head is longer by about 2mm. 

Specs:

Plies: 7 (limba outplies? ayous inner?)

if this is limba then its a bit different kind of limba because the regular limba wood that i know have longer fibers than this in this blade.

Weight: 92 grams

Size: 151 x 157mm

Thickness: 5.4-5.6mm

Test rubbers: Yasaka Rakza 9 & 7, DHS Hurricane 3 neo

The blade is a well balanced blade and is not head heavy even with one chinese rubber on one side. The Rakza 9 was a bit heavy but there was still blade balance. I combined R7 + Neo H3 and R9 + R7 on this blade. On the initial bounce test on the wood, the blade produces a somewhat low pitch sound making me suspect that this is not a super fast blade adding to the low height the ball is bouncing.

Yasaka advertises this as a power hitting and attacking blade my view is somewhat diferent as I will explain later in my post. Using both the R7 and R9 when doing drives for both fh & bh, I was seeing the ball especially on the R9 to be a bit slow. The R7 was doing above average speed, well its fast enough for this blade but not blazingly fast. The R9 however seemed not suited for the Galaxya and I dont know why. On the Galaxya the R7 was faster than the R9 but on other blades the R9 is faster than the R7. I would rather see the Galaxya as a controlled looping blade. Even with the 7 ply construction, i would say there is more control than speed. The high dwell time of the blade due to its medium soft outer plies when combined with the DHS H3 neo or any other hard chinese blades works in wonders on spinny loops. It is a very good looping blade as well as a blocking blade. I would rate it as average on power shots like smashing & counter driving because of its medium speed, instead of being an OFF blade i would say its Off- maybe because of the thinner blade construction that it needs a lil more speed. 

In comparison to other blades I would rate the Galaxya as:

Speed

Galaxya < Clipper, Xiom Solo, DHS PG7, YEO

Galaxya > Peter Korbel blade

Galaxya = OC (no CR)

Control 

Galaxya > Clipper, Solo, PG7 and YEO

Galaxya = Korbel & OC

This blade is highly recommended to controlled loopers or those who loves doing slow but very spinny loops and can be considered as a very good all-around blade. This blade is made close to the table attacking. Excellent for developing and intermediate level of players. I think players who use attacking or blocking LP on one side and inverted on the other side would also love this blade.

any wood experts can identify the plies please?

It's  a 7 ply all-wood blade.  Would be intersting to see how it compares to other 7 ply all-wood blades like the Clipper, PG7, TB 7wood, etc

its already updated with reviews kindly check again hehee 

the one i measured was 151 x 155 and has a longer blade than the yeo in the store. i have a 6+mm blade in the house its definitely thinner (galaxya). i think ill get a photo of it later today

The Yasaka ExTRA special blade is faster by a wide margin than the Galaxya although it is a a thin blade too

i stand corrected. the other measurement was for the YEO and not the galaxya. the galaxya was 157mm long. though im gonna post a pic tomorrow showing that the thickness of the galaxya is really less than 6mm. sorry for the confusion i was a bit tired yesterday when i posted this

 

Thanks.
