Good blades with hinoki outer ply and composite material?

7sagittarius7 · Jan 28, 2019

Can you recommend some good blades with the hinoki outer ply and with ALC, ZLC or any other composite material? I'm not interested in all hinoki blades, but only outer ply with ALC/ZLC immediately below hinoki or for more controle ALC/ZLC around the core.

I'm currently playing with XIOM Vega Tour and it's really fantastic. I know that Xiom has a lot of hinoki blades, like several blades from Feel series and some old ones. Andro has old Treiber Z, and the new Treiber FO and FI.

What about Butterfly, Stiga, Nittaku?

Joola has a number of them. One of my mates plays with the Roßkopf Emotion. It supports his play very well.

I have both the Xiom Vega Tour and Rossi Emotion.
The only common between them is that they are aimed for TT.
One may find Rossi Emotion to be better, for others the Xiom Vega Tour is the best.

If you feel good with Xiom Vega Tour and you think its fantastic, just stick to it.

I need a backup blade, which must be similar or better

I concur that vega tour is an amazing blade

From Butterfly only Garaydia?

You may laugh, but the Gambler IM8 Hinoki is an awesome blade. Lot of power for being in the low 80's for weight. Feels pretty all-woody until you start looping hard. $32 USD is pretty tough to beat.

If your looking for a back-up blade, and you like vega tour, why not to get a second one? Well, I know it is expensive, but most of the blades mentioned above are not cheap either. My back-up setup is xiom feel hx pro, and I hope I won't need to use it

No because it isn't good, Ireally like it, but it plays really different to my main set-up(all-wood - g1)

Xiom no longer produces Vega Tour, if I'm well informed. So I would like to know what alternatives are

Well the garaydia has all the three types alc zlc or tamca so that should be convenient

Xiom Feel ZX3 is the hinoki one they have out now.

Xiom Vega Tour is still available in some stores.
I personally have 2 of it and I use them both, just realized in time that its really fantastic and the best for me.
if you really think its fantastic too, I doubt that you'll find something similar to be better. Xiom Feel ZXIII is an excellent blade and the most close to Vega Tour, and its available and cheaper. Try it. Its only you who may tell how you would feel the difference. These two are similar, but with different core and it makes the difference. You have to mind the weight too.

I believe that both the Joola Rossi Emotion and Aruna OFF are Hinoki/Koto/Carbon so they won't be what you're looking for.

I struggle to play with the hinoki outer ply blades I have. The plastic ball seems to have affected my feeling and I can't block consistently with them anymore.

Ondřej Horák · Jan 29, 2019

Voting for andro Treibers. I play with FI one and it absolutely meets all of my expectation. It has a lot of Hinoki feeling and help in rotation and TXL adds a lot of hardness. Great feeling blade.

I have a Darker Hinoki carbon with a kiri core which is really nice but quite pricey.

Good blades with hinoki outer ply and composite material?
