Tried with t05 and t25, poor control, hard to spin. Stiffer than tbs and timo boll alc but softer than 729 black carbon.

#2 — July 2020

I bought one in Taiwan. The speed is low.

#3 — February 2017

Just purchased this blade on second hand. I wanted a lighter setup to limit my armaches. Anounced at 64 gr, it weighed 55 gr! Ok, I thaught this would be a toy and not a TT blade… Glued with Gewo Hype EL 2,1 mm for BH and Stiga Magna TX 1,8 mm for FH. I’m used to play balsa carbon with the Donic Waldner Black devil (84 gr).

I was hoping a little less quality due to the price and the weight. And after my first competition I have just one thing to say: What is wrong with you, the big european brands!!! I’ve never had a blade with so much qualities! No fuzzy vibrations when hitting like the Bdevil, good ball feeling despite the stiffness, no problem for looping and the sound is totally normal. (I saw several reviews talking about a high, disturbing sound) It’s a real pleasure to play with this blade.

I just feel like I can flip any serve and be aggressive on any ball coming. If the T11+Keep those qualities, don’t hesitate, it’s too good to be real!.

Purchased this blade three years ago when I just started playing table tennis. At the time, I could not keep the ball on the table and moved on to different blades.

Yesterday, I picked out an old T-ll and glued it up with a Palio 1997 rubber that I had used on my robot, which was very beat up.

I was shocked by how much power this blade had. It was easy to loop, had accurate ball placement, and overall good control.

Taking table tennis lessons has paid off. I never thought I would ever be able to loop this blade and place the ball wherever I wanted on the table!

I recommend this blade for intermediate players, not beginner players.

Best blade I have ever owned. I used to have the Gergely Classic, but after switching, there’s no going back. I love the speed, control, and most of all, the weight. It feels absolutely amazing. When I use it with Donic Acuda S1 and Nittaku S1 Turbo, it becomes a beast.

#6 — April 2013

Played 2 sessions with a blade borrowed from a table tennis partner. Glued with Vega Pro, it was pingy and fast. It is a good, cheap blade. I believe the T-11 Plus is a good upgrade.

#7 — March 2013

Have been playing with Galaxy T11+ LKT Rapid Speed for a few months. At the beginning, it was quite difficult to control the game. Now I am able to forehand topspin, flat hit, block, and backhand chop/hit. Nice blade, and the sound is different from others.

After a while, I find this combo too fast. Maybe with a softer sponge, it would be better. Looping backspin is not consistent. I switched with one player who has T05. For me, more control and forgiveness; for the opponent with T11+RS — when the ball catches in rubber — okay, but needs to work more with this setup compared to T05.

Sometimes I find out that passive play is not for this combo, just to lose points. If you start to loop/smash, points are going back, but with a strong chopper, it is a hard job (soft sponge could improve looping).

I have talked to another T11 user with H3 — also complains that it is too hard and has a tiny dwell time.

Yeah, but on another hand, when you smash — the ball goes like a rocket.

Edit: I played with an all-around racket for a while and then tried T11 again. There is no click as it is with an all-around racket. It seems to be thought for smashing/hitting.

Not the best option for beginners/intermediates who want to play an all-around style with defense/attack. Meanwhile, I know one chopper/hitter, and he is quite satisfied with it. And he has long pimples out on one side. Both sides are quite soft.

#8 — March 2013

Excellent blade with very good control. I played with it for two seasons. It is very light at 70g. Some people in my club did not like it due to the extra spring effect from the balsa thick core. It is perfect with soft rubbers like Donic Platin X1, X2, Donic Silver X3, and Andro Hexer+. It excels in close to the table up to mid-distance. It is harder to finish the point further away. It is not an expensive blade, but the consistency across blades is not too good, similar to the T-8. I have two, and they are different. One is harder, has a handle with harder wood, and plays more direct with a very low trajectory. It is OK when playing close to the table. As ‘cherry’ mentioned in the review, his blade weighs 87g, with an average of 71g. The one that I like weighs 71g, but you cannot expect blades that weigh 87g and 71g to play identically. The overall setup gets heavier as well.

Otra buena pala de Galaxy, un poco más rápida que la T-11 y con menos control, y un poco más ligera. Probada con gomas chinas Ritc 729 y con las Reactor Corbor. Hay que tener buen dominio para dominarla, ya que si te descuidas con el ángulo, al ser bastante rápida y expulsar la bola, se puede perder el control con ella y se irá fuera. Por eso, prefiero las de 5 láminas de madera, toda como mi favorita Galaxy N-9 mejorada.

#10 — June 2012

This blade, when combined with Moon and Venus 2 rubbers, becomes a formidable weapon. Moon rubber provides exceptional blocking and looping capabilities, while Venus excels in topping shots. Together, these components create an unbeatable combination.

#11 — June 2012

I saw the reviews here and decided to give this blade a try.

It’s a great carbon blade. It’s weightless and still very fast. I don’t know how such a light blade can be so fast. And it’s cheap! I bought it on eBay for $28. If you like carbon blades, I recommend giving this one a try.

Nothing is perfect though, and the control is only good instead of amazing.

#12 — June 2012

This blade was my favorite for about a year.

I have tried about 20 different rubbers on the T11, mainly Chinese rubbers. All 729 and LKT rubbers need more speed from the blade, and they work quite well with this blade. One excellent quality/price combination for practicing a spinny game is to use 729 Geospin Tacky rubbers on this blade.

When, for example, DHS Neo TG2 with maximum sponge thickness is glued to this blade, the ball-crack sound is constantly disturbing. Old DHS Hurricane 2/3 sponges work well with this, but again, maximum sponge thickness is needed.

Nowadays, I prefer fast rubbers (that are not Chinese) on a slower blade. That combination creates better control of the ball for better game control.

#13 — April 2012

One of the best blades I’ve tested is slightly faster (0.5 point) than the T11+ with slightly less control (0.5 point).

The average weight varies between 66 and 72 grams.

#14 — February 2012

Very good wood with soft rubbers to the right on the way round with rubber mediio can be hard.

I did well with Tenergy fx 05 in the right way round in the sun galaxy.

#15 — January 2012

Very good blade.

The best blade that I have tried. Before, I played with Yasaka Gatien 3D, Yasaka Max Carbon 3D, and Butterfly Peter Korbel was my last blade.

I agree with the 99% of previous comments.

I recommend it for players with rackets off/off+. Players of blades all+ will feel it too fast and can not control it, especially when trying to topspin.

The best: very very good for block. Now I block more balls than with my old Peter Korbel. It is very fast, but let play with very much control. When you play slow, the blade feels like an all+/off- blade. When you play fast or medium-fast, it feels like an off++.

It is a hard and stiff blade, similar to a Yasaka Max Carbon 3D. The speed is similar to this blade, but with the Max Carbon I had no control and it was difficult to get loops with topspin.

The best blade, I am very happy with this. And it is very cheap.

This is my first Yenhi blade and from now I will seriously consider this brand because this blade has very good quality, very good design and it is not expensive…

#16 — January 2012

Light, cheap, fast, excellent control, and very consistent. What more could you ask for? The perfect blade.

The sound is different, but I like it.

#17 — December 2011

For a stiff blade, it has very good control. I think the limba top ply helps in this aspect. Not much vibration and it has a good feel of the ball. With a thick balsa core, it is stiff, fast, and accurate. Very light too.

I think it is best for blockers and hitters.

#18 — October 2011

Super light, my FL one was only 71 grams. It’s also super stiff, the thick blade combined with the two hard carbon layers and the extremely thin outer wood ply makes control quite difficult. It’s definitely not a looper’s blade, as the dwell time is next to zero. If you do intend to do some looping with it, I’d suggest rubbers with great dwell time, preferably not too bouncy as well. Also, forget about feeling the ball, you won’t. It does depend a bit on the rubber, but vibrations are generally very minimal.

#19 — October 2011

I have had one for 7 months now and try it again now and then to test different rubbers. However, I can’t seem to get the ball over the net and still on the table with it. I go off the back with it a lot.

I also don’t get good sound feedback from it compared to my other blades, which admittedly cost more (Yasaka Extra and Donic Applegren Senso V1). It is definitely much faster than either of those.

I’m no expert…

#20 — October 2011

This is a great blade for aggressive players. It sends the ball like a cannon.

However, control is difficult, so I only recommend it to experienced players.

#21 — October 2011

This blade offers excellent value for its price point. It provides good speed and is incredibly lightweight, with my particular blade weighing only 65 grams. When equipped with rubbers, it came in at a mere 155 grams, making it the lightest setup I have ever used. The blade exhibits remarkable control despite its speed. Its lightweight design is particularly advantageous for players like me who prefer to play close to the table, as it enhances reflexes.

Overall, I would rate this blade a highly impressive 9.5 out of 10.

#22 — September 2011

It is a very good blade. I was looking for an extra speed from a blade, and I think I found it.

Even though it is fast, playing with it, I stay closer to the table, compared to others that I played before, which means it is more direct with very good (excellent for this speed) control.

And it has very good feedback, not like other dead pinchy carbon blades (t-1, t-2, 2020).

#23 — September 2011

Had played yesterday first time for a longer time with it. Xiom Vega Europa on FH and BH. Other blades I compare with: Xiom Axelo (with Vega Europa, also with Donic Acuda S2) and 6x86 Shark (with Vega Europa, Vega Pro, Rakza 7, Rakza 7 soft), Donic CarboBalsa Black Devil (with Xiom Vega Pro).

Having played with all the above blades/rubbers, my opinion is that T11 is close to Xiom Axelo, much better than 6x86 or Black Devil.

Pro’s: - Light - easy to handle. - Good comfortable grip, sensitive touch (FL) handle. - High speed - I am weakly prepared physically, and a high speed battle is an advantage for me. - Yet controllable (for a carbon blade, has a good control and feeling).

However, as all high speed blades, if you hit the ball incorrectly, it will go in net or out. I can do very good blocks, and it is easy to play top spin. It’s a little bit harder to lift. Must be very careful when push or chop.

Cons’ - It has a small amount of vibrations. I have a friend who is not able to play with T11 - after a few strikes, he gets a terrible headache - (if he is playing with Xiom, Butterfly, etc., he is OK)

So in my opinion, T11 is a fair good bat. If you have technically correct and accurate strikes and your play is about attacking (not defense), it can be a serious option for you. If not, better forget about it (and generally about carbon blades - they will “punish” you for every even small mistake you make during the hit).

#24 — June 2011

I totally agree with Lapi. Compared to P Chila Off, it’s harder and faster, of course. I have difficulties finding a slow rubber that fits with it. It’s almost good with 729 Higher for offensive play with control, but you have to be active on each point. I’ll try it in a few weeks with LKT Rapid Soft.

#25 — June 2011

This is the most honest review I can give. Firstly, let’s not get carried away by saying the control is a 10. As fast and solid as this blade is, I will say it’s controlled if not better than any blade in its category! It’s not going to give you the control of a 5-ply wood but for its speed, it’s as good as control gets! Even better, it always goes wherever you tell it to. This also means you have to be consistent with your swing and have good touch. However, it is one of the most consistent blades I’ve played with in any price category.

#26 — May 2011

This blade is exceptionally lightweight and swift. From my experience, it pairs optimally with medium to medium-hard sponges and tacky rubbers like 729 Cream Transcend.

When looping, the ball’s trajectory is remarkably linear, plummeting abruptly onto your opponent’s side of the table. Due to this straight flight path, I maintain the ball’s trajectory an inch or two above the net throughout most of my rallies.

Loop drives and smashes are the most effective strokes to employ with this blade, capitalizing on its exceptional speed. Consequently, most of my shots are executed in a somewhat horizontal rather than vertical motion. Notably, exerting excessive force is unnecessary with this blade, empowering shots with formidable velocity.

While this blade’s performance is outstanding, it demands precision in stroke execution and blade angle, as its sensitivity magnifies any imperfections. I highly recommend this blade for players seeking both speed and control.

#27 — April 2011

It’s not so good for looping with Chinese hard sponge rubbers.

#28 — March 2011

I think this is an absolute bargain. One of the guys I practise with says it’s off-putting…which is good!

#29 — March 2011

Excellent blade that rewards good hands, highly sensitive to finger pressure, head angle, and wrist speed. It offers linearity and speed.

In terms of control, it excels. The blade executes actions precisely. Looping is efficient, and topspins feel effortless compared to other wood blades.

It’s the most responsive and sensitive blade I’ve used. Notably, its price point is also very reasonable.

#30 — February 2011

I bought this blade from superbackspin.com a few days back. This blade is super fast and super light (68g). The balsa core gives very good control, while if you give it a little speed, you could have a fast smash too.

#31 — February 2011

My front rubber is Donic Coppa X1 Platium, and my back rubber is DHS Memo. The combined gross weight of both rubbers is approximately 140 grams. This combination is significantly lighter than my previous Galaxy T-8 setup, which weighed around 180 grams.

As a result of the lighter weight, my blade movement has become noticeably faster. I can now generate more speed and spin compared to the T-8. Additionally, the controllability of the blade is improved, offering greater precision.

However, it is worth noting that the pressure resistance and hand sensitivity are not as exceptional as with the T-8. Slight adjustments to my technique may be necessary to compensate for these differences.

#32 — February 2011

Very good blade.

It offers lots of control and can still generate very good power/speed.

With this blade, you can loop, drive, smash and block with good control.

For its price/performance ratio, this blade is unbeatable.

Highly recommended.

#33 — August 2010

At first, I put Chinese rubbers on it, but it didn’t perform well. Then I put on my old Bryce, and it started to shine. Now I’m using it with Tenergy 05 as my primary blade, and I love it. It’s fast, light, and has good control. What else do you need?

Warning: the top layer of the blade is weak. You could leave some wood on the rubbers while removing them if you push too hard.

#34 — August 2010

2nd review of this blade. Changed to 729-5 2.2mm red Fh & Geospin tacky black 1.8mm BH. Wow, what a difference! I’ve been training with this combo for a month now, and this blade is now a looping machine with the ability to topspin kill, chop from anywhere backhand loop with speed if required, and backhand smash. I can play from any distance with ease, a much better combo than the 1st rubbers I put on this blade. I have been using these two rubbers on different blades for over 3 years, so I know how they play, but this lightweight speedy blade really does make a difference. Forget the overpriced BTY products; this works!

#35 — July 2010

This blade is very light, and I agree with the control rating of 10/10.

I played with my new blade last night for the first time, using Jupiter Red on the forehand (2.2mm) and Venus Black on the backhand (2.2mm).

It does not feel as fast as my T-4, but it definitely has more control than any of my seven Yinhe blades.

I was able to play near the table, using chops and rallies effectively. Away from the table, my drives all seemed to be played with good ball placement, depending on how open or closed the blade face was. The shots either went long, short, off the table, or into the net accordingly.

This is a great buy at £16.32 GBP off eBay. It is my favorite Yinhe blade to date.

#36 — June 2010

This blade is exceptional. Despite its remarkably low weight of 70g, it boasts astonishing speed. It’s hard to fathom how a blade so lightweight can be so lightning-fast. I recently replaced my Timo Boll Tricarbon with this blade, and the difference in speed is undeniable. This is undoubtedly the lightest blade I have ever encountered. In my opinion, it deserves a perfect 10/10 rating, plus additional bonus points.

#37 — October 2009

Worth much more than its price!

This blade is a perfect choice for all-round players. It is a 5-ply wood blade with a carbon layer in the middle. This gives it a good balance of speed, control, and spin. The blade is also very lightweight, making it easy to maneuver.

I have been using this blade for a few months now and I have been very impressed with it. It is very well-made and it has held up well to the rigors of training and competition. I would highly recommend this blade to anyone who is looking for a good all-round blade.

#38 — October 2009

Middle layer: thick Balsa Upper layers: Limba Underneath them: carbons Weight: 87gr (average is much lighter: 70-77gr)

My cheapest and best ever blade, paired with the newest Kokutaku 868 Tokyo non-tacky rubbers. Backhand plays very powerfully at all distances. Forehand is not as effective far from the table. Very effective for blocking, but feel is not good for short play. Looping with the present non-tacky rubber is difficult, but I will revert to the tacky version of the same rubber, which I am accustomed to and expect better consistency and looping. Overall, I am surprised by how well this relatively cheap blade performs. It even outplays blades that are 7-8 times more expensive!
