I just bought a Yinhe Galaxy Y-2 blade ( i.e 5 ply + 2 Carbon) then glued on 2 Reactor Corbor rubbers . Yesterday, I took it out for a test run and found out some puzzling issues with this blade ( weight 86 gr. ; and 180 gr. with rubbers ) . The sound made when hitting the ball was entirely different from my previous paddles . It sounded hollow , not solid as I was used to .
How would you explain this ? The blade itself is not thin at all ( thickness = 6. mm or about 1/4 inch.)

Carbon is under just one very thin wood veneer. This makes the blade really loud.

I asked the same question here a few years ago, after buying my first carbon blades. ;)

I wonder if your observation is valid for all carbon blades ? As for the Yinhe Galaxy brand, I also bought another Carbon blade , the series Galaxy T11+ , and found no hollow sound issue . As I used a different brand of rubbers with this blade ( i.e. Kokutaku Blutenkirsche 868) , I could not conclusively attribute the issue to "the blade" alone. Could it be a combined effects of both "blade" and "rubbers" ? Please comments .

Is T11+ carbon? I've used T11 which was balsa but I don't think carbon in it. Perhaps that's what the + is.

I have a T11+ and I find that it sounds quite a bit different to most other blades, which is probably caused by the balsa wood.

AFAIK
T-11+: 7-ply (5+2). Balsa core with carbon on both sides, and two wooden outer plies (both limba wood, I believe).
T-11 (no plus): 5-ply (3+2). Balsa core with carbon on both sides, single outer ply of limba.

Do you think the t11+ would pair well with short pips?

No, hollow. Faster and harder than your firewall but still hollow.

Corbor is a very standard Chinese rubber, so I don't think the sound is attributable to it.

You can sometimes pick up Corbor for about $3.50 a sheet including shipping.
