Many of the cut man for a representative to Japan, use this type of racket. With premium leather trimmed grip tape. Racket of "cut settle for by", "hit settle for in".

Apparently even the famous Norio Takashima used this back when he was an active player — it's an incredibly long-running classic.
Back then it was apparently a solid 3-ply hinoki blade, but the current version is 5-ply.The grip comes standard with genuine leather tape wrapped around it, but even wrapped, it still felt a bit thin to me.
It has that hard, distinctive hinoki feel, but when you hit hard, the blade flexes and you get a brief sensation of gripping the ball.
Because of that, spin — especially on chops — was very easy to generate.The power on drives and smashes doesn't match special-material or super-lively wood blades, but I think you can more than make up for that depending on how you play.
With rackets, what matters more than numbers on a spec sheet is whether it matches your own feel, so if you're curious about the hinoki feel, I think it's worth trying at least once.
