Dear TTD community. I actually didn't want to be a show off, but this I must share with you.
Today a dream came true.
Finally I found this lovely Nittaku Killton
(i've heard it's pronounced: Shellton) 3ply hinoki all wood blade and it just plays like a dream. So much dwell time, almost like the ball gets magnetized by the blade... it almost feels like catching the ball and throwing it back after a while.
I used to have the same blade 30 years ago.
Unfortunately today I just could play 2 hours with it. Just can't wait to continue playing.

I'm pretty tempted to make this my main instrument.

It's got a couple of small Dings but they don't bother me.
Those are just a few battle scars.

I've never thought anything could come close to my NSO or my americanhinoki but now they have a new rival.

It's a looper's paradise. A spinner's heaven.
