Thats the goal of every busines, yes.

yea, i like it. im coming from inner carbon limba outer, so it feels fast. the throw is low, but it works fine (even w/ low throw fh rubber.) i see what people mean now when they say hinoki is soft, but hard. it feels hard and fast on smashes (way better than my other blade) but soft and grippy...

Yes, same here. I wanted to try hinoki and saw this in Japan on sale, it was interesting and beautiful. The fat handle sealed the deal. You're correct about the speed, but control is still good enough. Really, I feel like you can play any style u want with this thing. its a unique blade and Im...

right on, im doing similar and it feels pretty good. still might experiment with pips, been playing around w/ chopping. you been playing double inverted w/ it the whole time?

i just got one and like it, what rubber you run on yours?

its true, i just got victas triple double extra for 28 buck and a Yasaka Masamune for 90 in yokohama. no sign of the new nittakus tho. large handles are seemingly rare, as well. Have to go to Tokyo for that. importing stuff to your country may still make sense even after the middleman takes...

keep playing it! I've seen some of the best players with the most beat old blades. You gotta go with what works

I had a letters 968 and I preferred 40 degree bs h3 the best. 41 felt too hard. i used prov and nat'l, but honestly couldnt tell that much of a difference between the two. I always boosted them, though. I dont know anyone who plays h3 unboosted, really. A lot of guys used 37 h3 on bh, but i...

nice.glad you got some relief,i'll look into that. its not critical yet, but trying to explore options.

aka golfers elbow. Do any of you have this and what did you do?

I've been told by multiple respected people that for regular, "official" numbers version of 968 (not the true, expensive national team versions with the different code on the box) that the numbers are meaningless. lower (and lucky) numbers are commonly perceived to be better, however and fetch...

this is official numbers version code (5th column down)

You cant get a real national team 968 for 500 dollars. 500 dollars is just a regular official numbers 968 that people call "national" for some reason. Also, for the official version i do not believe the numbers signify anything (although lower and "lucky" numbers are perceived to be better and...

he does this more when he's losing.

ive been told that the first two years in china are shadow practice (we're probably talking about 5 year olds)
