Victas Hino-Carbon Power
Blade description:
This composite blade features a 3+2 construction, utilizing outer plies of hinoki wood paired with carbon layers. It is characterized by a “non-linear” performance profile: the blade remains controlled and relatively slow during soft, low-effort shots, but transitions into high-velocity power when swinging with greater force. The hinoki outer layers provide a soft, distinctive feel and increased dwell time, which facilitates high spin potential.
Playing Characteristics
- Speed and Power: Offers a high top-end speed suitable for offensive play, particularly loop kills and close-to-the-table attacks. It is well-suited for aggressive blocking due to the large sweet spot.
- Control and Feel: The hinoki wood contributes to a soft, tactile sensation at contact, reducing unwanted vibration. Users report excellent feedback, allowing for precise placement despite the blade’s potent speed.
- Balance and Handling: The blade is generally lightweight, with many units weighing under 83 grams, though it features a slightly larger head size (160mm x 153mm). The weight distribution is noted as well-balanced, avoiding a grip-heavy or head-heavy feel.
- Physical Design: Features a comfortable handle, though some players may find the grip design to be thinner than standard blades. The construction is noted for its high-quality finish, often arriving with pre-beveled edges.

This blade has a large sweet spot and good speed.
It exhibits classic nonlinear hinoki characteristics (when playing low-effort shots the blade is very slow; when playing high-effort shots, the blade is very fast).
Good for blocks and loop kills. Above-average spin and a very comfortable handle.
My blade also had the edges pre-beveled out of the box, so no sanding was required.

Well-balanced hinoki-carbon blade, not head- or grip-heavy, despite the larger head than other blades: 160mm x 153mm. Less vibration when hitting the ball, which is also soft thanks to the Hinoki cover. Good for the game near the table and half-distance with power and spin. Thanks to TT11!

This is most probably the best “hinoki-carbon-Kiri-carbon-hinoki” blade under 100 €. The relatively thick hinoki plies give a very nice touch and control. This blade is very similar to Bty Amultart.
