Is 1 Ply Kiso Hinoki good with Short Pips?

[amekun]

Yep i had one too. Liked it and Loved it.
go check out balsa blades too to get more options.

I tested both 1 ply and Balsa blades, and both do great wonders to SP Users.
I use my SP in the FH

I have a 729 802-40 short pips on my 'for fun' Xiom Sheung Power Hinoki 1 ply - Love it for the counter attacking speed and ability to hit through spin

Works well for it actually, which a surprise for me. I suggest you give it a go as a 729 802-40 is a very affordable rubber.

I will be experimenting with short pips on one-ply hinoki. Typically Moristo SP on DS90. Haven't had a chance to test it out because of Covid-19. But will resuming playing in mid-April.

I've only owned 1 single ply (Nittaku Rorin). Felt good when smashing, nice "juicy" but solid feedback.

But other than that, felt numb on all other shots. 1 plies are always too thick for their own good, gives up too much impact feedback.

A 7 ply hinoki is a good alternative. Septear was too thin (for me) and flexible. But a ~7mm Darker 7p or Xiom S7 should fit your bill. Feels crisper, and more solid than my 1-ply.

I just merge the two threads to one. 😀

I agree with you lasta. I have tried short pips(dragonow dhs) on backhand 1 ply hinoki sanwei, I am wondering why for me it's difficult to feel that it is hitting through the wood. It feels like it just up to the sponge. I don't know if it's because I cannot hit it hard for backhand, shakehand since hinoki is thick and heavy. 120grams. 🤣
