hinoki

Hi everyone. I have not posted in awhile. Would like to share my latest finding. I first came across this blade from another forum . I didnt know Nittaku had its own single ply shake hand (besides Miyabi). And they had a one nail logo just like Butterfly did. The post above was from the...

I recently learned of the term 'hinoki' and now I'm quite interested. Is it better than carbon for Jpen, or is it not? What are the pros and cons of each?

Introducing my first ever Hinoki blade. When I was first bought this I thought it was a Butterfly model I didnt know. Now I am quite sure its not a Butterfly. I think someone just stuck a logo there. Butterfly only has Butterfly Tamaropa for its single ply hinoki model and this is not...

I have a few 1-ply hinoki blades for sale. I used to play jpen style, so I developed a love for the kiso hinoki wood and carried it with me as I learned to play with other grips. Currently I am using Nittaku Miyabi cpen as my primary blade and I don't see myself going back to the others, so I...

What happened to Darker? It appears that they have entirely redesigned/reduced their product line and are going through a major transition. Their marketing (who would have thought that Darker had any marketing) is full of transitional messages like "leap forward" and "aggressive orthodox...

Hi all, I've gotten to a USATT rating of about 1000 with my pretty crappy pre-made Butterfly Nakama racket, and I am hoping to invest in a nice jpen blade to use for a long time. The gold standard for jpen blades seems to be Darker Kiso Hinoki though I was wondering if anyone else who plays with...
