I was looking for a thick blade that's easy to block with, and I landed on this one.
The feel on contact, meet-hitting, speed drives, and blocking are all outstanding.
If I had to pick a weakness, pushes are a little harder to do, but I'd really recommend it to anyone whose game is mainly built around topspin rallies.
The Hinoki top ply is thicker than on other Galaxias, so the feel on contact is noticeably softer too.
You can really rip loop drives with this one.
It's pricey, but I don't think there's another blade out there that delivers on speed, spin, and feel all at once like this one does.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

This one's for advanced players.
I bought it because it got good reviews on this site.People said it's close to Tenergy 05, but the feel is clearly harder on this one, and I found it harder to control.
Also, maybe because the topsheet is thin, it's more affected by incoming spin, which makes receiving harder.That said, once you get into a rally, this rubber gives you a really high chance of scoring.
I'd recommend using the 2.3mm MAX+ sponge on the forehand.It's too hard for the backhand, so definitely consider Z3 for that side.

As far as I know, this is currently STIGA's most expensive model.
I usually use the regular Rosewood, but I've used this one a few times too. (It's just on display now, lol)It's advertised as bouncier than the regular Rosewood, but probably because the blade is thinner, this one clearly has less bounce.
It does flex more though, so you can get more spin on your drives with this one.If you want a blade with a real premium feel, definitely give this a try.
It might not blow you away performance-wise, but it sure boosts your motivation.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

In a word, the feel is almost like pure wood.
It's super easy to put a ton of spin on topspin drives.That said, it's too thin, which made smashing hard to do.
I personally prefer a blade around 6.0mm.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

You can get it online for 3500 yen.
For that price, it's a really excellent rubber.That said, compared to premium rubbers like Tenergy or Target Pro, it still has some room to improve.
The sheet is pretty hard, so unless you go with a thinner sponge it's hard to put much spin on short backspin balls.
That's probably just personal preference, but I preferred Japanese-made rubbers.It's a lot easier to use than the Omega VII series, and I think even beginners could use it.
