I have been using the Yinhe T11+ for four years. I have tried various rubber combinations, including DHS Hurricane Neo3, DHS Goldarc8, Donic Coppa Gold, but I am currently using Nittaku Fastarc S1 on the forehand and short pips DHS 652 on the backhand.

In my opinion, the Nittaku Fastarc S1 is by far the best forehand rubber for this blade. Topspins and mid-distance looping are great. Flat hits are powerful, services are good, short, and spinny (except for Hurricane Neo3, which was great for service). The best part is I can open any ball with my forehand, including heavily underspin balls.

I recently started using DHS 652 short pips on the backhand and I am quite satisfied with its performance, especially for aggressive blocks on topspins. At times, there is some inconsistency while receiving the same type of balls, but that is the nature of pips. I will give the short pips some more time and then review.

The Galaxy T11+ blade offers a light and powerful short stroke, making it popular among OAPs and over-the-table players. However, it lacks spin control when switching from slow to fast speeds, necessitating the use of gears. The stiffness of the blade and its limited dwell time can hinder the spin generation of rubbers like B2 or H3 NEO.

I initially struggled to utilize the blade’s full power due to its low spin and low arc, resulting in missed shots. Such issues were not encountered with the N-9 or Y-15 blades, which provide ample spin and a higher arc. I would eagerly purchase a more flexible version of the T11+ if Galaxy were to release one. The similarity and stiffness across the T series remains puzzling. While the T11+ is a capable blade, it could excel with a thinner profile.

Despite its flaws, I appreciate the concept of the T11+ blade. It nearly meets expectations, but its deficiency in looping shots is a drawback. Passive play may lead to lost points, while driving and smashing are more effective strategies with this blade. Skilled choppers can pose challenges for users of this blade.

After two years of using the T11+ with AK-47 red sponge FH and boosted AK-47 blue sponge BH, I am revisiting my assessment. My gameplay has evolved to better suit the blade’s characteristics. I have embraced the low arc and spin tactics learned from long pips and can now effectively attack balls off the bounce. The second half of the league season will provide an opportunity to compare results.

Ultimately, I sold the T11+ to a teammate whose fast, low-spin playstyle aligned better with the blade’s strengths. We believe that boosted AK-47 blue sponge is an optimal choice for both FH and BH, providing ample speed. Lightly boosted 9000E rubber is recommended for a more versatile playstyle.

Should I return to using the T11+ in league play, I will equip it with Globe999 boosted on BH, as it enhances short game control and excels in chopping and spin. Galaxy 9000D on FH is an affordable option that offers a speed range of 7.5 to 8.8 when boosted. I will employ a light boost to optimize control while maintaining the ability to overpower opponents. The T11+ is comparable in quality to many more expensive blades, but rubber selection is crucial for maximizing its performance. Mars2 has been recommended as a cost-effective option that complements the T11+ well.

Amazing blade, really fast but with good control. Easily as good as blades three times the price.

#4 — June 2020

Weight: 70g.

#5 — November 2019

Blade très légère. Agréable à utiliser. Rapide mais utilisée actuellement avec Mercury 2 ce qui la ralentit. Plus rigide et rapide que Tibhar 4L balsa. Je l’apprécie plus et pour un prix moindre. Finition soignée.

#6 — August 2019

Esta es una gran madera. Quería hacer esta reseña en inglés, pero lo haré después de un año. Por ahora, solo la he tenido durante un mes con gomas Andro Plaxon 400, que son muy parecidas a las Xiom Vega Europa. Es una muy buena raqueta con estas gomas, que ofrece buena velocidad, control, bloqueo y topspin. Todas estas características desmienten el mito de que una madera muy cara como la Super Sic es lo mejor. Esta raqueta ofrece las mismas prestaciones que una madera súper cara como las Butterfly, a un precio increíble. En 6 meses, haré una actualización de esta reseña. Saludos.

It’s fast and has good control, but it’s too light for me.

#8 — January 2019

2016

- I feel it’s a great blade, very cheap. - The control is amazing. - Lots of vibrations, sometimes my hand gets numb. - I use it with Tibhar Aurus (BH = black), Donic Coppa Gold (FH, red). - Aurus works better, helps looping, superior control. - Coppa Gold is super fast.

Update-24 Feb, 2018

- Now I have Rasanter 37 and Rakxa 7 or Rakza X. - They work great on this amazing blade. - I have TB ALC, Nittaku Acoustic, and tons of other blades, but this is my fastest one. - Great grip (some hate it as it’s thick). - Whenever I feel like blasting and playing a wild all-out attack game, this is my best weapon. - Better than my Timo Boll ALC blade based on my current skill levels.

Update 3 (8-1-2019)

- Now using with black Palio (The Way rubber) + red Hurricane 8. - Very good combo.

#9 — September 2018

Using this with DHS Skyline TG2 on FH, Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg for BH. Very fast, with all the control you need for every type of shot. Excellent for blocking, hitting, smashing, long push.

Looping is still very good (9/10) but not as good as a dedicated looping blade, arc is med to medium low. However, your technique has to be good. Short push is good but it’s hard to drop balls very short (8/10).

The 2 stage feeling of the balsa is obvious only in short pushes. Your technique has to be good and touch feel very high. Push shots the blade fast and blocking makes the blade feel soft and controllable. Hitting makes the blade firm and looping has just enough softness to give you just enough spin.

Only recommended for higher level players. Surely not for beginners or intermediate players.

#10 — July 2018

Bought this as my first carbon blade. I am used to more flexible blades, but this has turned me on to hard stiff blades. With H3 on one side and lp on the other, I can drive people crazy. So much spin from the hard, tacky rubber.

The blade has very little dwell time, so need a rubber that can hold the ball during a full stroke. High arc looping is a dream and loaded with spin. Hard flat smashes are fast and easy to control. Close to the table play is easy.

Chopping and slicing is okay. lp works well with the blade hardness. Overall, I am very happy, and for the price, this blade is hard to beat!

#11 — March 2018

If you are a “beginner”, DO NOT play with this blade. This paddle is meant for seriously offensive/aggressive intermediate to advanced players who attack constantly. Close to the table, this is a lethal assault weapon. You must have an aggressive mindset to attack relentlessly.

Do not attempt to block, spin, or loop. Instead, smash, attack, hit flat, and attack again. Blocking will result in the ball flying off the table. Spin will not be effective. Just attack flat.

I hope they stop producing this blade because I have purchased several of them. I AM SOLD!! I will no longer experiment with other brands. This is a seriously offensive yet lightweight and unassuming blade that will leave your opponents in pieces. I play with hard Chinese rubbers (729 series), but control can be challenging. Use with slow-medium tacky rubbers.

Long live China. Down with expensive Butterfly blades.

#12 — January 2018

Rápida pero con mucho control. Baja flexibilidad, medianamente dura. Se recomienda usar gomas blandas a medio blandas, no tan rápidas, en lo posible de peso alto, ya que esta madera es muy ligera. Sin embargo, es increíble. Muy bueno lo que puedes lograr con esta madera por un precio bajo a excelente. Bloqueo preciso, top spin fácil con la técnica correcta, empuñadura cómoda. Muy buena opción si tienes problemas de lesiones en hombros, muñeca, espalda o si tus gomas son muy pesadas. La preferí sobre algunas de marcas eurojaponesas.

Actualización: mejora de la calificación en control y en general. En BH, usar gomas de lanzamiento medio y medio bajo. En FH, de lanzamiento alto. FH funciona muy bien con gomas chinas de lanzamiento alto. Llegó para quedarse.

#13 — December 2017

Tried twice, at the moment the short game is good and fast enough, but I feel long loops are slow. It is light and easy to handle! Also, it is cheap.

#14 — October 2017

Only use soft rubbers on this blade at first and then play with medium rubbers. Hard rubbers should be avoided. The blade is a mid-distance killing machine. The Joola Samba + was made for this blade.

#15 — October 2017

Muito rápida, muito controle e excelentes drivers.

#16 — September 2017

The dimensions are not penhold, so the center of gravity is better. The lightness is very good, making it compatible with every rubber. This product is suitable as an all-in-one product.

#17 — August 2017

This blade is inexpensive, lightning-fast, and top-notch. Weighing only 68 grams, it is well-made. Paired with affordable Chinese rubbers such as KTL Rapid, it produces devastating topspins with ease.

Despite its stiff feel, it is not unpleasant. The sweet spot is ample. However, it is essential to adjust to its relatively thick profile.

#18 — August 2017

This is a cheap and lightweight blade made of good balsa wood. It has a slight flex due to the carbon layer in it, which makes it great for smashes and chops. The looping effect is slightly disappointing, but still good. I have used this blade for four years and it has always been consistent. I used it with Dawei Inspirit 38 degrees (FH) and Dawei Inspirit UL 40 degrees backhand

#19 — July 2017

One of the fastest blades, I use the Palio CJ8000 Biotech for my forehand and the 729 Snipe Focus 3 for my backhand. It is a very light-weight paddle, which is good for offensive gameplay. I ordered it from AliExpress for 1400 INR.

#20 — February 2017

My 3rd purchased blade… Control is definitely very good And really fast (but a bit slower than my Tibhar Samsanov Carbon and Yinhe N-9).

Very light… A negative thing about this blade for me is it’s hard to block a spin ball… Better to do a spin counter too rather than blocking it… I can feel the dwell time, but not much… Big sweet spot… I like the comfortable handle… Can’t feel the hit vibration… Low throw (but higher than Tibhar Samsanov Carbon) Update: I decide to come back to use this as my primary weapon… Pair it with Nitaku H3 neo 4fh and Jolla Max P for bh… Pairing T11+ with H3 neo 4 fh feels so hard at first… But now it helps the weak spot of this blade for looping… but the block spin sensitivity gets worse… Lol.

#21 — January 2017

I have paired my T11+ cpen with Andro Rasant on FH (1.9 mm) and Tibhar 5Q (1.9mm) on BH. This setup is working well for looping, especially for looping backspin serves.

While my loop-drive technique is not exceptional, I cannot provide a comprehensive review of the blade’s loop-driving ability. However, for hitting, this blade excels. The feel of the ball on Andro Rasant is particularly impressive.

Tibhar 5Q provides adequate control and generates significant topspin on my RBP loops. Although my RBP blocks are not yet proficient, the blade’s performance is satisfactory.

#22 — December 2016

Quick, light, and accurate. Not as good for looping as it is for hitting, but still doable. Really a fun blade to play with.

#23 — July 2016

Purchased the T-11+ based on its excellent review and lightweight construction. The choice of rubber significantly impacts performance, especially with this blade.

Over the six months I owned the blade, I experimented with various rubbers: - Mark V: Poor match - Friendship Focus 3 Snipe: Excessively soft, lacking spin, low trajectory, and poor feel (42-degree version, should have purchased 46-degree) - Friendship Aurora 42 deg: Fast and decent, but too soft for my preference, suitable for backhand play

Due to my aggressive hitting style and preference for harder rubbers, Galaxy Moon proved to be the most suitable choice.

The T-11+'s low weight makes it ideal for power shots, smashes, and blocks. However, looping ability is its most significant weakness; serious loopers should seek alternative blades.

Backhand shots are swift, and close-table play can be exceptionally fast due to the blade’s lightness.

Initially, I found the unusual sound it produced off-putting, resembling the sound of broken wood. However, I gradually grew to appreciate this sound, as it indicated when I was fully engaging the powerful carbons beneath.

The surface is fragile, as evidenced by a small piece that broke off during rubber removal. Sealing the blade is recommended.

Update 7/12/16: While the T-11+ excels in hitting and driving, my playstyle has evolved towards all-around looping and attacking. This blade no longer suits my needs, as it is not well-suited for looping.

My other three blades are superior for looping: Xiom Strato, Primorac Carbon, and DHS PG-7. The Xiom Strato, my primary blade, is an excellent topspin attacking weapon.

After transferring the Barracuda rubber to the Xiom Strato forehand, I am now capable of extreme-angle loops with potent topspin, a feat that was not possible with the T-11+.

#24 — June 2016

Preface:

I’m a beginning player. I tried this T-11+ because of the good reviews and the low price. At first, I paired it with DHS Hurricane III Neo on forehand (FH) and backhand (BH). While this was a step up from my previous pre-made setup, I quickly learned that with the combination of thick rubber and short pips, the DHS Hurricane III Neo was not a good match for this stiff and light carbon blade. With that setup, I could hit very well with lots of spin and speed, but at low speed, with either a lot or a little spin, I had very little control over where the ball was placed.

This changed quite a bit after switching to the Xiom Vega Pro rubber, which improved control immensely for fast and slow shots no matter the spin.

I would warn against pairing this with H3 Neo rubbers.

#25 — June 2016

I wanted this blade for its light weight and speed, but it seems difficult to control the speed changes from soft to fast. With lots of practice, it could be a good weapon, but it doesn’t loop as well as the N 4 paired with Galaxy Jupiter red rubber. I used Galaxy Jupiter and DHS Hurricane 3 with a blue sponge, but I didn’t get the results I was hoping for. I recommend using soft, thick rubbers for this blade. I think that might give it the extra loop that the blade takes away.

#26 — February 2016

Very fast, stiff, and hard blade, but very controllable. I don’t like this blade. I noticed that Yinhe T11+ works well with soft rubbers only.

#27 — November 2015

No feel, very bouncy… not for me.

#28 — October 2015

Good Blade. Using soft rubbers will increase control but reduce speed.

#29 — September 2015

This is a very fast balsa blade with soft-carbon layers that provide a lot of speed while still allowing for good control. The balsa core makes it very lightweight, one of the lightest blades around.

It has more control laterally than any other fast blade I have tried, especially carbon ones, which tend to be fast with not much control. It is still a bit hard to control the pace of shorter balls, which can tend to go longer than you intend.

It has a large sweet spot thanks to the soft carbon layers that give speed while maintaining control.

Overall: Recommended for attacking players who require good control in a fast blade. Just make sure that you pair it with rubbers that are not too fast, otherwise it can be difficult to control the pace of short balls especially. Advise medium-fast rubbers rather than fast.

My review scores: Speed: 9.5; Control: 8.9 Stiffness: Stiff; Hardness: Medium hard Consistency: Always identical Overall: 9.1.

#30 — July 2015

This blade is extremely light, weighing only 65g. However, this lightness makes it difficult to control. Soft touches result in a dead feel, while applying 30% or more power transforms it into a powerful cannon. The carbon layer is easily accessible, and once engaged, the ball rockets off the blade.

Despite my skill in brushing loops, even with Donic Baracuda Max on the forehand, consistency is elusive. The ball often doesn’t engage with the rubber and blade, resulting in frequent off-table shots.

Therefore, this blade is not suitable for playing styles that rely heavily on spin.

#31 — June 2015

I use this blade for hitting with friends, and it became my favorite for this activity (for points, I use long pips). I use soft rubbers. Thick and with a large sweet spot; blocks and counterhits are very good.

I have not tried enough pushes/return serve and don’t have correct loops. This blade fits my ailing joints very well with its light weight and thick handle.

I don’t feel vibrations, and I prefer it this way.

#32 — May 2015

Very light and fast blade. Control is very good. I use 729 Battle 2 for FH and DHS H3 Neo for BH.

Tried n compared with Adidas Fibertec Power, had to back to T-11+. T-11+ is better speed n has the same control.

#33 — May 2015

The balsa in this blade offers a soft touch while still enabling fast hits due to its non-linear feel. However, the carbon layer, and possibly the limba outer, reduces the dwell time, making it challenging to achieve a good arc on loops. Despite this, the blade excels in hitting shots.

Additionally, the ultralightweight of the blade can lead to head-heaviness, disrupting the balance and creating a sensation of increased weight during arm movements. Vibration can also be a significant concern, potentially obscuring the sensitivity required for effective blocking.

#34 — April 2015

This blade is recommended for anyone seeking a quality blade at a reasonable price. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to control and maneuver, allowing for precise shot-making. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for players of all skill levels.

#35 — April 2015

This is a good light blade. When using it with some rubbers, it makes an unpleasant sound like breaking wood. However, when paired with a particular rubber, such as Victas V>01 Limber, the combination is excellent. It provides exceptional feel, control, and spin.

#36 — March 2015

I played a session with this blade that I borrowed from a friend and was impressed enough to buy one. I requested and got an a64g penhold blade from Megaspin. It is an excellent offensive c-pen blade, and I glued it with Air Illumina & Dragon Talon Ox. I hope it becomes one of my trusted blades besides my Galaxy N-9 and Stiga Hybrid NCT. I have no problem recommending it.

#37 — March 2015

I bought the T 11+ based on the raved reviews. It’s really light and fast but I gave control up for it. Currently using T88-I and Aurora. Will consider N9 when there are enough dings on this blade.

It’s not bad but I wouldn’t buy it again.

#38 — February 2015

Yinhe T-11+ is undoubtedly one of the finest blades I have ever used. As a penhold player who plays close to the table, I sought a lightweight paddle. No previous blade I have owned compares to the exceptional lightness of the Yinhe T-11+. I am so enamored with it that I possess two blades, one weighing 70g and the other weighing 66g.

My 70g blade is equipped with Hurricane 3 Neo 2.0mm and 729 Faster III 1.8mm rubbers. The lighter blade is outfitted with Tenergy 05FX 1.9mm and 729 Focus 3 Snipe 1.8mm rubbers. The paddle is slightly head-heavy when paired with Hurricane 3 Neo, but when using Tenergy 05FX, it feels more balanced.

If you primarily play close to the table or seek to enhance your swing speed for looping, I highly recommend giving this paddle a try.

#39 — October 2014

I own a T-11+ (75g weight) with Galaxy Venus max FH and 729 Focus III Snipe max BH. The overall weight is only 158 g!

This review is about that particular blade+rubbers arrangement, so take it with a grain of salt. The FH arrangement is VG-, the BH only G: it’s difficult to block in the BH, as the dwell time is low and so the ball gets out linearly and very speedy from the F3 Snipe. The FH blocking is a bit better. The BH can be improved with a slower and softer rubber (Sanwei T-88-III for instance comes to mind).

The combo does a nice balsa “ping” metallic sound when hitting, and the very low weight allows for very quick strokes. The bat is VG for hitting, for flicking, for FH topspin, and for BH flat attack. Spin in play and in serves is G (low dwell time). Due to this, overall control is only G- to G. Hitting with the T-11+ gives you the feeling that you have a springy blade (due probably to the thick balsa inner layer).

In conclusion, the T-11+ plus fast Chinese rubbers is a VG combo for the price. Recommended for hitters and attackers who want to finish quickly the point. Not recommended for all-round players who rely on long series of controlled moves to eventually win the point by striking a controlled attack (at the right moment) or by exhausting the opponent’s patience :-).

#40 — April 2014

I am using T11+ with 2xAcuda S1 Turbo and it gives MUCH MORE control, compared to my bf Timo Boll ALL+. The speed is very good, the sound is pretty nice “bing” ;) This blade definitely will help intermediate players (like me) to improve the game. Perfect for attack, no comments about the price.

#41 — April 2014

This is my fifth blade. I purchased it for a trial after reading its good reviews. My playing style is looping both wings close to mid-distance. The blade is very light, only 72g.

My setup is BH 729 Focus III Snipe and FH Mercury II, a very cheap setup. I could do slow and fast looping very easily with much control and spin. Pushing is great, and service is excellent. I love the sound when I hit the balls with medium to high speed. I will order another one soon with a different setup: BH Xiom Vega Euro and FH Andro Duro.

#42 — March 2014

Good one by Galaxy :)

A stiff and hard blade but very light in weight.

Some flex, but very little when hitting hard. For such a hard and stiff blade, control is good due to its light weight. When compared to the Galaxy EC 14, it is much easier to play close to the table. Off the table, it has a bit less speed due to the weight difference (EC14 is about 90g, this blade less than 80g).

All in all, good value for the money.

Enjoy TT :).

#43 — March 2014

An all-around blade, this is likely classified as an off to off+ blade. Large swings don’t significantly affect the performance, as the ball still lands in. It is exceptional value for the price range. I own the Gergely Classic, which has slightly faster speed. Overall, this blade is highly rated.

#44 — March 2014

Review of Table Tennis Blade

An excellent blade, surpassing the performance of N-9!

Exceptional control is a notable feature of this blade. The ST grip is perfectly suited for my hand.

While it excels as a weapon for hitters and blockers, it may not be the most suitable choice for looping, particularly for beginners. However, with some adjustments, it can still be a viable option.

#45 — March 2014

Very good blade. It’s light, which helps you close to the table. It provides sufficient feedback on where and how you hit the ball. Last but not least, it’s very, very fast. However, you still have outstanding control with this blade. I now have three of them and I like it. I have one combined with DHS Neo Hurricane III max, one with Tibhar MX-P max, and one with MX-P/EL-P in max. All three have ultimate power close to the table for shots and fast loops. Even far away from the table, they supply sufficient power to loop back with pressure.

#46 — February 2014

An exceptional blade for its price point. I have equipped it with Donic X1 Turbo Platin on the forehand side and Xiom Omega 4 Euro on the backhand side. Its advantages lie in its lightweight construction, providing both speed and excellent control. I was so impressed that I ordered two additional blades after trying the first one.

#47 — January 2014

Excellent speed, very good control, a bit poor sensitivity, but a very good result overall. Using Moon on both sides gives a lot of security, and the effects are amazing. You get used to using it very fast.

#48 — January 2014

Apart from a slightly short dwell time (due to the blade’s stiffness and medium hardness), this blade is a fast attack blade that is great and very cheap, particularly for short games. Usually, lightweight blades are all+ or off-, but this blade is a high-performing tool. You should not use it with extremely fast rubbers. The sound it produces is intriguing; it sounds very ringy and clicky. The handle is somewhat thick, but it is acceptable. The lightweight design is beneficial but can also be a disadvantage for some individuals. When a blade is extremely lightweight, fine-tuning the power of hits becomes more challenging. That’s why I stopped using this blade. I highly recommend this blade for players who aspire to transition to an OFF+ playing style using carbon blades. While the blade is not precisely OFF+, it comes very close.

#49 — January 2014

This blade is exceptional, offering the desired speed of a carbon blade without sacrificing weight or breaking the bank. Its performance rivals that of far more expensive options.

The standout feature of this blade lies in the unique sound and feel it imparts on the ball. This sensory feedback is crucial in selecting the perfect blade for any player.

#50 — November 2013

Very good blade, better than the original one. Excellent for attack and very good control. The feeling is special… very good blade overall.

#51 — May 2013

After intensive blade tests, I can easily say that this is my favorite blade! It is very light, has great handling, good balance, and outstanding speed and control. Buy it! You won’t regret it!

#52 — May 2013

Very good blade. For me, this is the best blade I have ever tested. I have Andro Tempertech All and Off, Donic Waldner Senso Carbon, Joola WingPassion Fast and Extreme, and Stiga WRB Donic Dotec Persson. This blade is far better for me!! Very high control and quite fast but not too fast… perfect.

#53 — March 2013

T11+/T8

Weight: 75g/82g Speed: 10/10 Spin: 9/10 Control: 10/9 Throw: 9/10 Looping: 10/10 Hitting: 10/9

The T11+ and T8 table tennis blades are both excellent options for players who are looking for a fast, powerful blade with good control. The T11+ is a bit lighter than the T8, so it may be a better choice for players who are looking for a blade that is easy to maneuver. The T8 is a bit more powerful than the T11+, so it may be a better choice for players who are looking for a blade that can generate a lot of speed and spin.

Overall, both the T11+ and T8 are excellent blades that can help players improve their game. The T11+ is a good choice for players who are looking for a fast, powerful blade with good control, while the T8 is a good choice for players who are looking for a blade that can generate a lot of speed and spin.

#54 — February 2013

Very good control, speed, and an excellent sound))).

#55 — December 2012

This is a great blade. I played with Donic Coppa X2, Acuda S1, Tenergy 5, Butterfly Roundell, and Xiom Omega 3 Euro. No matter what rubber I used, it had amazing control.

Playing with this blade offensively, you can realize almost any shot at a fast or slow pace and aim with absolute precision. Playing defensively, chops and blocks are effortless.

For the price, you cannot find a better deal. I looked for multiple reasons to keep playing with my Xiom Stradivarius and Timo Boll Spirit, but in the end, I have decided to purchase another and sell off my higher-end blades.

#56 — September 2012

My first review, I’ve been using this blade for six months, and it’s dramatically improved my game. I utilize 729-5 on FH and 729 OEM on BH. Previously, I employed the same rubbers with a 729 Bomb and attempted LKT Rapid Speed. The Bomb is a fine blade, but the T11+ practically plays itself!

Upon switching to the T11+, I began making shots that were previously unattainable with identical rubbers. Rapid Speed proved a bit too fast for BH on the T11+. Balls tended to pop up and fly off the table despite the low throw of the rubber, which performed well on the Bomb. This illustrates the significant speed disparity between these blades.

I transitioned to the US$5.00 729 OEM rubber for BH, resolving the issue. On both wings, the control is excellent, and the speed is optimal. BH and FH balls consistently land on the edge of the table when anticipated to go off. Pushing proves effortless, and short game touch remains adequate. The blade’s light weight facilitates extended play without fatigue and enhances the speed and accuracy of transitions between FH and BH.

My looping confidence is increasing, and chopping presents no challenge, though I tend to chop more on BH than FH.

The control is outstanding. The ball effortlessly and predictably follows your intended trajectory.

Regarding durability, forceful impacts on the table may result in superficial chipping of the outer layers (similar to the Bomb), but the carbon and balsa remain unaffected. These abrasions can be readily repaired with a touch of wood glue.

Furthermore, I appreciate the resonant acoustic quality of the blade, though that aspect is a matter of personal preference.

I concur with Darren Rapacchi’s August 26, 2010 review of the original T11. He employed the same FH rubber and GeoSpin Tacky on BH.

Ultimately, if you seek a swift blade that provides excellent control and allows for extended play without exhaustion, consider pairing this blade with inexpensive Chinese rubbers. You will not be disappointed. To me, it feels like a much more expensive setup.

#57 — August 2012

Otra muy buena pala. Esta es un poco más lenta y tiene más control que la Galaxy T-11, y ligeramente más pesada. Sin embargo, sigue siendo una pala muy ligera y rápida, y buena como la mayoría de las Galaxy-Yinhe.

Le van bien las gomas semiblandas. Probada con Mark-5, Friendship Ritc 729 y Reactor Corbor. También le pueden ir bien las Mercury-2, Galaxy Moon y las que adquieran mucho efecto y tengan control, pero no sean muy rápidas. Aunque de momento, prefiero la pala con solo 5 láminas de madera, mi Galaxy N-9 mejorada por mí.

Very good blade for its price! A powerful stroke can be generated easily. It has a soft feeling when touching the ball. This is a very good blade for loop and smash style!

#59 — April 2012

Seems to be a little, little, very little bit slower than the T11 with a slightly better control but it’s really not a big difference. Weight varies between 68 and 76 gr. Average 2 to 4 gr more than the conventional T11. There’s no better blade at its price!

#60 — Long Time Ago...

My T11+ has Rakza PO on my forehand and Rxton 3 on my backhand. Short pips play well on this blade with soft rubber, offering lots of control and speed for the poly ball.

Update: July 2023 I love this blade! Waran 2.0 on my forehand provides so much more control than Rakza PO. I can definitely put more pressure on my opponents now, unlike when I used inverted rubber on my forehand, which often caused them to make errors. While searching for a new backhand rubber, I tried Mercury 2 and was amazed at how well it performed. It offers excellent spin, control, blocking, and pushing capabilities.

Update 2: July 2023 I recently added RITC 755 long pips to my blade, and it has transformed it into a monster! I love this setup so much that I’ve completely abandoned my old blade and rubber combination.
