Review of DHS DI-HT

i rate the speed of this as offensive-, it got lot of gears, slow when you hit slow fast enough if hit it hard, i think the ply of this blade is base on dhs pg7 only the top ply differs it has a hinoki top ply, same thickness also as pg7, big sweet spot, standard size head, it has this nice vintage look handle, hinoki feel is almost none felt, but it has just a little bit of that hinoki soft feel on it, what this blade stand the most is its control of the ball, it got lots and lots of control, i think this is good for those who locks control on their game but dont expect to be very fast blade, just fast enough when you needed. 88g cpen.

Review of Palio Way 005

i have tested lots of 7 ply all wood, im a 7 ply all wood fan myself, this blade is not the fastest or the best feel, it actually feel very hard, hardest 7 ply all wood i have, but its the most controllable 7 ply all wood i have, medium throw, medium trajectory, perfect for my short pips forehand, it doesnt feel catapult when you hit, it just follows on your strokes, no wonder ma lin and xu xin use walnut blade also.

Review of Palio Hidden Dragon

very thin 7ply all wood blade, feels like clipper but with better control, very good for top spin attacking, high in control, no unwanted vibration, very good for short pips forehand, nice handle design, average finish, faster than pg7 but with the same control,

Review of PP Taiwan Yellow Cypress 8.0mm CS

this blade is available only in cpen, it has a good feel and dwell just like other hinoki, the difference of this yellow cypress hinoki to other hinoki is the hard feel when hitting, japanese hinoki is soft this one is hard, dwell and feel is almost the same, minimal vibration which is good to the feel of the blade, only 8mm, i rate it at offensive blade, control is very good.

Review of Xiom Hinoki S7

the best all wood blade i have, specially designed for penholder, fast, low throw, long trajectory.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>i play cpen short pips one sided, after playing many blades, this is still the best blade that compliments my style and rubber, i still go back to this blade everytime i try new blades, fast controllable soft feel stiff, pair very well with soft short pips on forehand.

Review of XVT Single Hinoki 1Ply Hinoki 800

i played this blade for a few weeks, speed is good, lots of gears, it has catapult effect on balls, control is also good, blade finish is also good, it has smooth finish all parts of the blade, stiff but smooth, lots of feeling and dwell blade, what i dont like about this blade is it vibrates a lot, good price to performance blade.

Control	9.0
Stiffness	5.0

Hardness	5.2

Overall	8.5

Review of Yinhe Kiso Hinoki V

very light blade, medium speed and it has lot of feeling blade, very good control, handle is very comfortable, if you want more speed get the 7 ply version of this, but 5 ply is enough if you want more control, plays fast if you hit hard, good for beginner blade up to intermediate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>update, lacks internal power, cannot go up against more powerful blade, maybe because of the lightness of the weight, mine comes in 75g cpen, whats good on this the is the control and the design, very nice engrave on the handle, good for beginner
