Tibhar H-1-9 blade

very thick but fun to play with i would go with the h-3-9 though

i think it has better feel due to the fact it is a touch thinner it is also faster

My H-1-9 weight 90 grams.  Its feeling is very soft, very springy, great dwell time with noticable vibration when hit of the center compared to any composite blades I own.  The blade has high throw angle.  Blocking is power block.  The speed is in OFF+ range.  IMO, it a little faster than the Amultart, defitely faster than the Photino, KLHS and Ishlion.  The only faster blade that I have tried is the Speed 90.  Speed 90 also feel more solid and has very minimal vibration. 

i have had both the h19 and h39 and a donic waldner hinoki that is three ply hinoki that i am actually selling if youdont want to spend 130 for a tibhar blade i will sell you mine for 80 and throw in some rubbers as well i want to get rid of some stuff

no worries just thought i would throw a quite plug in there

Well I thought that H19 = Hinoki - 1 ply - 9mm

I've just received a couple of custom "American Hinoki" one-ply blades (10 mm thick, cork handle) that are only about 80 grams each (a lot less than I've read on some one-plies).  With 2.1 rubbers the balance is great.  The feel is very soft, yet more powerful than my SC.  The throws for mine are medium.  Vibration is ideal:  nothing harsh, but just the feedback I need.  A fellow clubmate of mine is making these and starting up a business of doing it, and after trying so many other blades, I am blown away with how well these perform.  (I also own a Donic Dotec Hinoki.)  If anyone wants to PM me their e-mail address, I'd like to post a couple pictures of this blade.

Wow...this is what "Seasterl" was talking abt. This thing is sweet looking.

I know two people who used H-1-9 and it broke for no reason. Such blade is very expensive in my country and the users are not that careless, so I guess the blade was in normal situation like others. Only one case may be interpreted as exception, but two, may be not.

The worst point is, there is no answer, explanation nor compensation from the dealer.

I have no discrimination to Tibhar. I myself purchased another Power 40 after breaking the previous. They have same thickness and almost same weight and I reckon that Tibhar quality control is very, very high.

What I listed was the most of the 1 ply blades we can find in the market.  There is no "best" blade since it's very subjectively depend on individual.  Also, even within a same model, the blade characteristic can still vary with wood spec.  So far, I haven't seen any review for Bomb everest yet.

I would add, 8) Kokutaku 2008 9) Kokutaku 2009 10) BTY cypress shake pro (discontinued) 11) BTY new 1ply series (max, 9, 8.5) 12) Galaxy (don't know how many different model they have) 13) TSP (shown by Mr. Borko)

I have 2 Juic's Kiso-Hinoki. I love this blade, it has a very nice touch and provides more than enough speed. I've never hit with Speed 90 or Tanpan shakehands, however I also have some Darkers J-pen blades (Speed 15, 50 and 70) and comparing them to Juic they are faster but with harder touch. Maybe due to the condensating process Darker uses. Another thing I don't like about Darker SH is their small head size, 155x148, while Kiso-Hinoki is larger, 157x151 and still light, 86g.
