As expected, the racket shows great Japanese craftsmanship and quality control and is without flaws. The wood has a very bright and clear sound, better than my XIOM Power Hinoki and I manage more precise strokes compared to the Power Hinoki. I currently use the Hibi O in combination with the Nittaku Fastarc-G1 (2.0 mm sponge) which allows for great rallies and powerful shots. In combination with the XIOM grinders it's very easy to modify the blade to make it fit like a glove.
Compared to classic square-shaped Japanese Penhold blades the XIOM Hibi O is a bit more narrow at the top but has a wider surface at the center of the blade. This modified shape shifts the center of gravity slightly towards the grip and enables faster wrist movement, especially switching from backhand to forehand and vice versa.
In summary I can only say that in the Hibi O price range it does not get any better than this. I rate this blade 10/10. - 25/04/2019 绝好 Review by Quan Zou

I'm wrong. The blade is wow-ly good! The wood is good, the rings are very condensed and straight!
The blade is not heavy not bcos of the lightness of the wood, it is the shape. The head side is a bit narrow (you may think of Jo-shape blade) so the total weight is less than 100, think of it, you can move the wood very fast....
I love it! What's more, the finishing of the blade is excellent!!!!
Better than the bty blue RSM.
For the price like this, it's WOW.
