Recommend me a Hinoki Blade!

[doppelmoral]

Hi guys,

I want to try out a Hinoki Blade. I never tried one and I read that its feeling is amazing for looping. I am using H3 on FH, Tensor on BH.
I looked around and it doesnt seem that many Hinoki blades are available. I am looking for one that has moderate speed, not faster than my Hugo HAL / 36.5 ALX. I am looking for nice feeling, nice dwell, and nice ball-grab for some crazy spin action.

Please recommend me a blade with good price-value to try out. I read good things about the Darker Hinoki 7P-2a Carbon, but its around 200€ on TT11, which is a bit much.

Thanks!

Nittaku Miyabi is a good blade if you want to try what a 1 ply hinoki feel like, and it's relatively affordable. It's 9mm thick, but it feel soft and it's fast.

Septear is a 7 ply hinoki, good option but never tried it so i don't know how it feel.

I like Donic Waldner Legend Carbon. Stiff (not flexible) because of the carbon but soft impact feel because hinoki. I have Friendship 729 Super FX on both sides.

PS Only the top ply is hinoki, but it still feels hinoki to me.

You need a 1ply to get that special feeling. And it’s all shots. The multi ply blades usually have a real thin outer layer and that’s not gonna give that feeling.

I like a blade with a thickish soft (spruce or Hinoki) top layer and a hard layer under it. One blade that I think feels great is Nittaku S-CZ. I have a few hinoki blades too but the S-CZ is non 1 ply blade that has the best feel for me still…

H3 on Hinoki doesn’t sound like a good fit imo

I have the Palio Bow atm,did a practice game today,it is a nice blade to try.
You can get it a bit cheaper and it is good craftmansship,looks almost like a darker and feels very solid.

Yasaka Masamune 3-ply hinoki

Honda Civic, the iconic dream ride of all Asian hot blooded dude in the 90's, 2000's and beyond. It comes in many iteration; the regular, the S.I., the R-Type etc, each one more awesome than the previous.

Similarly, hinoki blade comes in many interation, three ply, five ply, seven ply; but the most awesome ever in the 10.5mm super thick monster to be paired with Tenergy 05 / 05fx / 05 Hard.

NB: For those gaijin ( foreigners ) who are unfamiliar with the Civic, you may replace Civic with VW Golf.

Aruna hinoki carbon is fantastic.

Haven’t tested (on a 1 ply) but I think it’s gonna he a great fit. I got 3 1 ply’s . 1 jpen, 1 cpen and one shake hand. The only one I’ve tried so far is the jpen. I got Rakza 7 on it and it works great, fast as a rocket though..,.
On a multiple ply I know it will work great…

The best combo I found so far on One Ply Hinoki: Tenergy fx series + Xiom Vega Europe on my Darker Speed 90.

Oh! What a Feelin'

 

[Spartan-727]

Joola Nobolis PBO-C is a 5 ply with a thick hinoki outer layer. It's definitely feels like a mix of one ply and regular multi layered.
It's my main blade and I think it lends itself to a wider variety of playstyles than 1 plys.

Septear is a 7 ply hinoki, good option but never tried it so i don't know how it feel.

Septear feels incredible. Crazy control and great value. If your form is correct, will have enough horsepower unless you play really far back.

Septear is a good choice! The topspin feels great and has a soft feel!

 

[enoxzr]

I've had great experiences with the Andro Treiber FI OFF. Amazing feeling and naturally high rebound gave the blade an amazing feeling safety while still being fast enough for the modern game.

Also the handle on this blade is unmatched so good is it. Both in ST and FL!

did anyone play a Dignics 09C with a single ply?cause some Hybrids are really fast on my Palio Bow,looking for a high spin but lower speed rubber,maybe i start with a glayzer09c.
