External Review for Nittaku Miyabi on June 7, 2018

I was going to buy the Darker Speed 90 but just can't layout $300 for it. So I decided to get the next best one ply hinoki instead. I think I made the right choice.
My Miyabi weigh in a little on the heavy side at 91g. This is an almost perfect setup with FH T64 1.7 and BH Donic Slice 40 1.5. Total weight is amazingly low at 172g. BH flick/loop is a bit hard due to thin rubber, need to adjust blade angle. Same goes for blocking and pushing. However BH chop is great, very precise and ball control is excellent. Wish the D Slice 40 was a little bit thicker. FH loop needs a little getting use to and adjust blade angle but once get used to the new angle looping is a breeze. Hitting is what this blade is made for, both near table and mid-range. Love it...crisp, accurate, fast. The feel and explosive sound of the ball hitting on the blade is un-equal, even better than my friend's Speed 90. Perhaps FH blocking is the weak point of this blade, I do need to explore this area more. All in all, it's a pleasure playing with this combo.
