Lightweight allround blade for maximum spin? Hinoki?

[ML fan]

indeed and often these kind of blades are found amongst the real cheap ones 😁

Spin is not really the property of a blade it’s mostly in the rubbers, but the time the ball stays on the racket matters. Look for a flexy and soft blade…

I agree with you. Because I am an EJ, 30-40 blades, from stiga allround classic to w968, super zlc, alc, zlc, t5000. With same rubbers, I can produce heavy spin with hinoki and this CNF right now. And I believe this 2 blades is more easier for me to produce more spin on services, pushes, loops.

For sure these two are the most flexy of all you tried.

Believe they are not the most flexy. Cause I have tried the super flex allround classic.

The more flexy blade that I own is a defensive Donic Def-Play Senso V3.

BTW I own and use sometimes the Stiga ARC.

Is it the spinniest? In my EJ journey, only DEF blade I wasn't able to try to. 😊

Donic Def-Play Senso V3 isn't fast (passive bounce) but due to the weight have power to play far from the table, this blade is designed for classical defense and yes is the spinniest for me using spinning rubbers of course with H3 prov. or nat. wel boosted and proper technique is the way but I advice you is a big blade (not good to play inside the table due to the size of blade) with a big sweep spot, years ago Wu Yang a near NT Chinese woman player used.

I see you use 1 ply Kiso Hinoki, is good for long pips to play close to table with BH? I ask because I read have soft touch playing passive & fast & power when activate so both things are very good for my FH & BH with the extra spin that everybody says but I never tried, also are very expensive so I want to be sure before spend my money .

This is nice if defplay is so control but powerful too.
Btw, the 1 ply hinoki, I used only short pips on backhand, and I believe its difficult for me, if strong strokes, it is good,.because it is so.stiff, but on passive,.it is so soft. Maybe needs to practice more. But I believe 1 ply hinoki could be so disruptive if you use long pips especially aggresively. And I am h3 user btw, so spinny on serves, pushes, loops that I can win a point instantly on my level. What I dont like if you did not practice well on touches, it is springy.

Thanks for input, stiff is good to block with LP, I use aggresively the LP using pushes long or short both will good placement so this good also for me, what's the Kiso Hinoki with passive bounce: high or low? What are the weight aprox. of 1 ply Kiso Hinoki blades? What about the size are normal or big size?

I tried the pp moby, normal size, and high quality, more lines per inch, the older the tree and the better. Nittaku miyabi is smaller size and less lines per inch, softer. There is 85 grams to 90+ grams. On passive blocks, it can be too low bounce. On rubbers, thats what I noticed on receiving, sometimes in goes to the net and sometimes it pops,.or springs high, need a good touch.

pp moby is the Taiwanese brand that made hinoki blades?
