Sanwei H10 1 Ply Hinoki

Bought this on impulse to try out the famed hinoki one ply. Mine is 8.5 mm thick not 10 mm as the brochure states. This can be explained by my asking for the lightest blade weighing in at 103 gms. A 10mm blade would have been a hefty weapon. The head size is small, smaller than my Yinhe T11+. from this I conclude this wood is not Japanese hinoki but possibly heavier cypress from Taiwan or elsewhere. Tested with 729 cream transcend 1.8. Huge feeling in the blade with lots of vibration. Great for top spins and loops not so good for defensive pushes. This blade is alive every shot is larger than life, this is table tennis nuanced by a myriad of sensations and colours. Is this true love? Update.. . now I have the Nittaku Myiabi I am re evaluating the "scores" I note that some people hate vibrations in a blade. I welcome "good vibrations" hence my overall rating is likely to be higher for this blade than others would consider appropriate. However everyone who has tried it at the club loves it too!

It is very head heavy, but for active player it's a marvelous blade. I tried it with sanwei target p90 and spinlord dornenglanz 2 ox lp and it worked out pretty good. Blade has a lot of gears, it can be slow or extremely fast. Requires legs to swing this beast. I managed to dink the blade to the edge of table and it cracked. These things happen a lot to 1 ply players but can be fixed with glue.

Soft feeling and great power , spin whit butterfly FX 1,8 mm
