Friendship/729 Dynasty Hinoki Carbon

Used with Battle II FH and 729-08 BH, the blade provides good speed for smashes and loops adequately. The feel of the short game is satisfactory.

The throw is a bit low, and countering topspins is not one of its strengths. While I’ve grown fond of the explosive sound it makes, some may find it disconcerting. Similarly, the 'broken wood' sensation experienced during power shots might be off-putting to some.

Overall, it’s a good offensive blade.

Excellent handle. Very fast but with incredible control. Loops are easy and very comfortable to use. There is some vibration. It has a peculiar sound that some of us love but is sure to annoy others. However, the best features are its price and durability. I’ve already changed rubbers on the same handle four times. 100% recommended.

This table tennis blade is good, but not awesome. It has a nice feel in the hand, and it generates good spin. However, it is not as powerful as some other blades on the market. Overall, it is a good choice for beginners and intermediate players who are looking for a blade that is easy to control and generates good spin.

Muy rápida, pero te permite tener toque a baja velocidad. Gran control. Los bloqueos son sencillos. El top spin sale muy fácil. Menos regular el golpeo que en maderas con arylate, pero compensa el precio tan bajo.

It’s faster than my other blade, Dawei GTS.

I bought this blade because my Gergely was broken. It feels close enough to Gergely.

Superb blade. The price-to-quality ratio is perfect, making it accessible to most players. It is a competent and fair offensive blade. Speedy yet easily controlled, with a large sweet spot. The blade quality matches European and Japanese standards. The flared handle is very comfortable. When paired with medium-hard or hard rubbers, it delivers powerful results for over-the-table and mid-distance play. Players who can execute accurate hits and angles will find this blade an extraordinary match. A highly recommended product from 729, particularly suitable for advanced players.

Fast speed blade with a “ping” sound that makes my opponents curious. Very stable, no vibration, and easy to control.

I’m a big fan of this blade; I’ve been using it for the last 2 years. It’s very fast (the fastest blade I stock) and at a very comfortable weight at 85g. However, it may be too fast for most people.

It has an odd high-pitched “ping” sound, and does not have a lot of vibration.

Cheap, perhaps… Amazing? For sure!

Combine it with soft rubbers (nimbus/sinus sound) and you’ll have a speed machine with anything you could ever want. (And in my hands, I’ve had Xiom Stradivarius, Timo Boll ZLC, ZLF, T5000, ALC, Schlager OFF+, DHS Hurricane King, Photino.)

There is a lot of vibration and annoying ball sounds. That’s my opinion. I guess you get what you pay for. No wonder it’s so cheap. I’m sticking with what most pros use, Butterfly products.
