Fs : 1-plh Kiso Hinoki Blades

So 7mm is the thinnest, what about the maximum upper limit for playability? 11? 12? 13 or 14mm? ...

7mm is usually thickness for either dual sided penhold blades (Sou MF P). The negative is they split easier, but this is still rare.
9mm is usal thickness for below flagship blades from top manufacturers if penhold or the flagship thickness for shakehand (any thicker and the racquet will struggle with overall thickness (17mm total thicnss with max rubber)
10.5mm is full thickess for penhold flagship blades such as KTS and RSM and is very fast.

To my mind, the maximum can be 11mm because 10,5mm are around 100/107g . Each millimeter adds between 4g and 7g so 11mm can weight up to 114g.

So I think that 12/13/14mm… are not playable Bea cause of the heavy weight and high stiffness. Also it I think that it will be not comfortable to play with.

This question may depend on the size of the hands of the person wielding the blade and the amount of weight he can handle in his blade/rubber setup.
