Easy to use for me as a modern defense blade. I have one with DHS Cloud & Fog 3 1.0mm and a DHS H3N. It performs perfectly. In most aspects of the game, the blade appears to be quite slow and very easy to control. However, I can still hit and loop with it up to mid distance. Great ALL+ blade.

Controlled T-11+ with a soft sponge. UPDATE: BTY 1.9 Sriver-FX on FH & LKT Rapid Soft for Bh… the blade plays a beautiful style all-round mix game.

Among the many blades I have tried, this is one of the best ones. At the very least, you will get a lot of “bang” for your “bucks”, especially if you select a very light blade. I have seen 85g blades and heavier, and these do not support my game very well; they just feel too much like an iron frying pan. However, over time I have been able to find four very light blades. They are 74g, 76g, 77g and 79g.

The 76g one still works great, while the 74g one seems to lose some of the T-6's characteristic features. It is a little slower and not as linear. The T-6 usually gives you a “straight” or linear feeling, which I need for pushes and blocking. Moreover, because of the Hinoki outer plies, opening loops still work really well, at least with the Vega Japan or Tibhar Evolution (EL-P, EL-S, FX-S and FX-P) rubbers. In comparison, most wooden blades feel mushy to me.

Control is awesome in light blades. If you put a slower rubber on it, you can play a very good all-around game and you can chop and push superbly. However, I recommend not trying Neo Hurricane III or other harder rubbers on this blade. Without a lot of training, you will keep missing the table by a few centimeters in longline topspins.

Quality and craftsmanship of this blade are really good and at least as good as the 3-4 Stiga blades or even the Donic World Champion blades I have tried. The only blade that looked better from the start was the Victas Firefall FC. However, what you probably should do is sand off the hard edges with sandpaper so your grip becomes more comfortable, and I would also strongly recommend sealing the blade. The flared handle is very good and not only made for small hands like the Nittaku blades.

All in all, I’m rating this at 9.5.

The blade is suitable for both all-around and attack playing styles.

#5 — March 2014

The T-6, similar to other blades in the T-Series, possesses a hard and stiff construction. Its speed falls slightly above the Donic WSC but remains noticeably slower than the T-8 or T-11+ blades. Even in comparison to the Boll ALC, it exhibits a slower speed.

The incorporation of Hinoki outer plies grants the T-6 a lower throw than the T-11+ while also imparting a slightly softer touch. However, the blade maintains its overall hard and stiff character, surpassing the Boll ALC in this regard.

Despite its firmness, the T-6 offers exceptional feedback and precise control. Its OFF- range speed makes it a suitable option for players who prefer hard and stiff blades, seeking a reliable and fast blade.

Review: Galaxy T6 Table Tennis Blade

The Galaxy T6 is a highly regarded table tennis blade with several key characteristics:

* Low Weight: The blade’s lightweight construction provides excellent maneuverability and control. * Lower Throw Angle: Similar to the T11, the T6 produces a lower throw angle, allowing for more precise shots and increased control in the short game.

Performance Comparison:

For players seeking a blade with lower throw angle than the T11, the T6 offers a perfect solution. It combines the control of an all+ blade with the responsiveness of an off blade, providing a versatile and balanced playing experience.

Comparison with T7:

While I also possess the Galaxy T7, it should be noted that the T7 does not exhibit the same lower throw angle characteristic as the T6. This trait is exclusive to the “T” line of Galaxy blades.

This OFF- blade provides outstanding power for its affordable price. Additionally, its quality construction ensures durability. However, unlocking its full potential requires significant practice and dedication from the user.

#8 — February 2011

The T-6 is an off- to off+ carbon blade. Its low weight allows you to play with rubbers that are a little bit heavy.

When compared to the Boll Spirit or ALC, it is slower, stiffer, and has a less hard feel due to the Hinoki outer ply. The throw angle is also lower. As a result, I prefer blocking and fast attacking with this blade. The lower throw angle of this blade complements the high throw angle of tensors, which is nearly ideal for me.

Overall, it’s a great blade at a great price.
