I bought this after I saw the Hinoki Power from my Dad’s Hinoki Blade in 2008. This blade is now pretty old. I remember mine was made in Germany, but the re-issue seems to be made in China.

The Blade is pretty fast and does a good job in smashing, but I found out these days that it needs to be paired with a Hard Rubber. Look for the Old Blades that have been sold before the re-issue.

When you buy a 1-ply hinoki blade, you’d expect power, as that’s what Hinoki is famous for. Unfortunately, this blade is relatively weak compared to other well-known Hinoki brands. It has decent control, but that’s about it.

Mine is square and used it for 4 hours of practice with a Bluefire M3 2.0 mm. My style is basically block and drive, although often I rely on spin also. I found it well balanced, extremely reliable for power shots as well as control shots. I like the thickness of the handle because it can be sanded down for both positions, although I would have preferred it to be a little longer, like the Ronin. Mine seems to be very high quality wood and craftsmanship. I can’t find any real issues on this blade. I think it would pair better with an Acuda S2 or s3.

We have purchased one flared and one straight. The blade is too short. It’s wide enough, but is too compact length-wise. A standard 157×150 size would be better.

I use it as a Reverse Penhold Blade (RBP). It’s cheap in Presports. The hinoki is not of good quality. It’s irregular. The ball changes depending on what place it gets in the blade. It’s too soft, and I believe this is the reason for the irregularity. If you play against an aggressive opponent, the blade will not impose your command, because it is too soft and has little power. It’s only suitable for beginners and up to medium players.
