- 12/07/2023 A beautifully crafted and finished 1-ply Kiso blade for the price Review by Kirk
-
This is a beautifully crafted and finished blade and has an amazing smell out of the box.Quality
I requested and received a heavy one coming in at 97g. Mine is very fast, likely due to the above average density of the wood at this weight.
It has a springing feeling on loops and drives and excels in topspin rallies.
Downside for me is on difficulties landing second ball attacks and on looping backspin, often overshooting compared to a same rubber setup on one-ply Sanwei H10,
although if landed, the Miyabi ball maybe more dangerous.
Overall, I rate this as an exceptional quality blade for the price and a recommended try for anyone interested in 1-ply blade. - 28/02/2023 Excellent Blade for LP combination Review by KK

I bought this blade as an alternate to Darker 90 and Imperial which are way expensive. I am surprised to see this quality finish of this blade. I am using forehand XIOM Vega Japan and Spectre long pimpled on backhand. I am very happy with speed and control of this setup.Quality - 15/02/2023 Good Racket Review by Lagunarajan Thangarajah

After reading the merits of one-ply hinoki during play (soft touch, fast speed when swung hard) I decided to try one out. This blade is finished very well, surprisingly light for its size, and very soft. It feels delicate, and hinoki is. It's not a blade for you if you hit the table or drop your paddles-one ply blades can split but its an easy fix with super glue or wood glue. My blade had a very close grain pattern and the finish was perfect on it. I use Gambler Nine Ultra Tack and Friendship 755 with .6mm sponge. There is a lot of dwell time with this blade when swung for a loop, and it catapults off when hit hard for a drive. Its very simple to use for blocks and pushes, chopping is surprisingly easy. It is fast at top speed, but not quite as fast as some top-tier carbon blades are (given the same speed stroke). The feeling and control are fantastic, and the price was a great deal.Quality
Also have to mention, I live in the USA and from when I placed my order to my receipt of it was only 4 days. It was packed with care and shipped fast! - 01/08/2019 Really really a fantastic blade! Review by Pacho Pedales

What can I say about this fantastic blade? I have always liked soft-vibrating blades and hated stiff, hard ones, but this one is unique in its own way. Zero vibration, to my surprise. Stiff, but with a nice smooth feeling. Fast, really fast, but somehow controllable in short-middle game. No problem at all with the 9mm thickness. My only complaint is maybe the weight, mine is 105gr and I put Chinese rubber on, so the total weight was 210gr, too heavy for my taste. So I´ll change my BH rubber to another, lighter one. Really a great blade, hinoki wood gives you a lot of pleasure: controllable play with good speed and good feeling. Just give a try, many of my clubmates were stunning with the behavior of this beauty!Quality - 07/02/2019 Good blade Review by marco magrini

very goodQuality - 20/07/2016 Pretty good, not sure if it's the 'perfect' blade for me. Review by PY

I originally bought one for my dad, who wanted to find a pure Hinoki blade. After he started using it, he was raving about how good it was, and suggested I buy one for myself. I bought one, and it felt pretty natural when I first played matches with it. I got used to it pretty quickly. The blade is lightweight, good control, not that fast, and has a strange feeling sweetspot near the head on the backhand. I'm not sure if this is "the blade" for me, but I'm playing with it with no complaints. I switched from a Butterfly Viscaria.Quality - 25/12/2014 a powerful blade with great feeling Review by Tory Vanderwall
-
the first ball i hit with this bat it felt totally different to any other blade i'v used before. Such a soft feel to it makes it easy to control the ball in close but with an attacking stroke it catapults with unexpected power. Feels nice in the hand too, lighter than other bats but thicker and easy to use your wristQuality - 29/11/2013 ok but ! Review by andry johnson

The properties of blade is OK but there is too much vibration. I can't use it.Quality
