Butterfly Cypress Max

Cypress Max exudes a fantastically soft feel, accommodating fast smashes, hits, and loops. Comparing it to KTS, RSM Plat, and RSM Plat special, Cypress Max stands apart as the lone blade (in my opinion) that delivers exceptional speed with ample control. While its price tag is substantial at $300 USD and its availability limited to Asia, Cypress Max fulfills all expectations of a premium blade and excels beyond.

In a comparative experiment, YinHe M2, priced at $6 USD, emerged as a “speed monster.” However, I would personally opt for Sriver G3 instead of Ts, given its comparable performance at a significantly lower cost ($80 USD). For those familiar with Cypress S, Rorin, or Cho super Cho, Cypress Max is highly recommended. Its exceptional feel will undoubtedly captivate, revealing hidden treasures with continued play.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

The blade is overall very good, with a real soft feeling for a fast blade. However, for the price, I would expect better Hinoki graining. The hinoki lines are not very clear, neither very dense, having also spacing variations. This may be the reason for occasional variations in the feeling (not in the response).

Beautiful construction with very high quality.
