Need Advice On Hinoki Blade (J-pen)

[Scarfed Garchomp]

I am looking for a lighter rubber, and came across Victas v11 extra.
What do you guys think about? Is it too different from fastarc g1?

V11E is a good rubber, but softer and milder than G1. Still no slouch though. Swat Spin is especially lightweight but its also fairly soft. I really like Mantra Pro M, Glayzer and Rozena although they all provide different flavors of rubber. I'm also testing the new Blastac but its a fairly aggressive rubber, might be hotter than what you're looking for (although not as aggressive as Hammond Z2)

I purchased a Kokutaku sponge edge tape, waiting for it to be delivered.

The only issue I am having is that the blade is very head heavy, and my wrist is getting sore drilling backhand.
My old blade was a Garaydia Revolver R that was 55grams lol.
My Cypress is 98grams.

I know a clubmate who has injuries and got the V11 for that reason and yes it is very light. Can't remember how it plays. Victas tend not to be that durable.

I think your wrist will strengthen with time. With one rubber, it will still be fairly light - it's just a massive increase in weight. 55g + 1 rubber must be one of the lightest bats at your club! I'd happily swap my 94g for a 98g but it's all beaten up now so wouldn't be a great trade!

I hope the Kokutaku works for you. I just had more faith in the triple layer Nittaku edge tape but not sure which is more protective.
