GALAXYA CARBON is a super fast blade based on the fast 7-ply GALAXYA. The two layers of carbon fibre combined with the three wooden middle layers improve the speed characteristics. The two outer veneers are medium soft, especially chosen to add better ball feel to the blade. The GALAXYA CARBON comes with a thin double lacquered surface and attractive print design.

This blade was originally meant for players who put short pips on the backhand and play close to the table, but because of that god-tier player's influence, a lot of people use it with inverted rubber on both sides now, so I tried it that way too.
To give you the conclusion up front: it's a little bomb (lol).
It flies like crazy!
Because of that, loop drives don't get much spin on them.
But speed shots are super easy to hit.
So I don't think it suits women players very much.
For men, I'd recommend it to those who don't rely much on loop drives.
Overall, the impression is like an Acoustic Carbon with extra bounce added on.
Also, I think mildly tacky rubbers like Kiryu would suit it,
but hard, stiff rubbers like Hurricane probably wouldn't.
Also, it's quite heavy, so without strength you'll end up getting pushed around by the equipment.
I'd recommend this to players with power.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

I switched from the Clipper, which has a 7.0mm thickness.
Without giving up the sense of power and speed or the resistance to being pushed around by the opponent's shots, I wanted a thinner blade that would let the trajectory arc more easily, so I chose this one.With the SK7 the wood isn't all that thin and it's hard; a soft, thin 7-ply loses power; and I'm not a big fan of the typical carbon blade feel you get from a thin 5-ply-plus-carbon setup that relies on the carbon to make the ball fly.
I was being pretty picky about it and tried to buy Nittaku's Adelie, but it sold out right in front of me, so this blade caught my eye instead and I bought it.
It gives you solid distance, speed, and arc.
Spin comes through solidly too.
Since it's hard, I think you need to pay attention to the overall weight and balance point or you won't be able to put full spin on the ball,
but if you choose rubber with a hardness and weight that suits your level, softer rubber lets you hit stable power shots even with a compact swing.Also, since it's 7-ply plus carbon, even with a thinner blade you don't get that feeling of being pushed back by your opponent's shots.

It's too hard to really get spin on the ball. If anything, it seems better suited to an advanced short-pips player attacking close to the table, and it doesn't really suit inverted rubber on both sides.
Thinking about it that way, no wonder that god-tier player uses it a lot...
You'd basically never pick this one for spin — it seems built for people chasing pure speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

A friend gave this to me because it didn't suit him, and I can definitely see why.
It really bounces a lot. Among outer blades, it feels like the ball leaves the racket especially fast.
This one's for players who like to win on speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard
