Review of BBC Single-ply CypressThis single-ply hinoki blade is great for those who want tons of power on hits, but a soft touch in the short game. Charlie can make this blade in a variety of different thicknesses, and with many different handles, weights, and head sizes. If you tell him what you want, he will make it. All of his blades are well known for their impeccable craftsmanship, attention to detail, balance, and overall quality. He also offers great customer service. This blade is very prone to splitting if it is hit on the edge with the grain. This goes for all single ply hinoki blades. You have to be careful with it or put something more than just regular edge tape on the side if you want it to survive.
It has lots of speed, it is the fastest blade I have used by far. The softness of the wood and it's stiffness make for a combination that is unparalleled in any other type of blade. It is truly unique; it easily spins and controls the ball due to its softness, and it can also hit the ball at insane speeds due to its stiffness. Control in the short game, but easily available power for when you want to put away the ball. It is a loopers dream. However, it is quite thick. Personally, this is no issue, but some people can't handle a thick blade because their hands are too small to hold it well. Charlie generally makes this blade around 10mm thick, but other thicknesses are possible. I have three of these: a 9mm one at 95g, a 9.5mm one at 97g, and a 10mm one at 95 g. The 10mm blade that I have is made of slightly less dense wood, which explains the weight. Charlie can also change the weight if you want to, and he can change the balance as well. His handles are some of the best I have tried. I use a flared shakehand handle with scoops.
