Almost 90 g, very loud noise, very good feedback, a little bit more control than T-2.

#2 — November 2015

Mine has 89 g, so it’s quite heavier than the max tolerance limit stated by Galaxy (85 g).

I made a “test” bat with it, with a training Haifu Whale III in FH and a 729-5 in BH (both 2.2 mm), and these were both not good choices. HWIII is too heavy, although it can load lots of spin (for a few days the rubber sweated liquid and was very sticky until it eventually dried…) and 729-5 is too low throw for me.

In the end, the bat has around 190 g, which is too heavy for my taste (I like balsa blades; -)), and so perhaps the bad choice of rubbers makes me grade Y-2 lower than previous reviewers. The Y-2 weightquite higher than the tolerance is the chief reason for my disappointment.

#3 — February 2014

I recently purchased the Y-2 blade based on a positive review I read, and I must say that I agree completely with the assessment. It provides excellent dwell time, is fast without being excessive, and offers superb control. I had been searching for a blade that would complement Tenergy, but I was not willing to invest in a Boll Spirit. I have found that the Y-2 fits my needs perfectly. I have equipped it with Tenergy 80 2.1 red on the backhand and Xiom Sigma Euro Max black on the forehand. This combination has proven to be exceptional, delivering immediate improvement in my game performance.
