Blade: Nblades 1 ply hinoki
FH: Rallys Redmonkey
BH: Slick antispin
Did someone tested this combination ? 1 ply Hinoki (9mm/10mm thickness) are by far the stiffest blades available on the market (frequency test: more than 2000Hz !!! For comparison Barna Triumph only 1464Hz, Ovtcharov Alc ~1400Hz.) yet they have a nice touch because hinoki is a very soft wood, softer than limba.

I'm experimenting right now with Super Glanti and a 1 ply Hinoki blade, spin reversal looks massive, more than any other combos I've tested before (barna Triumph, Matador texa carbon, outer and inner ZLC/Alc blades...

Is it just euphoria ?

No, really! The glanti/flanti are for reversal, thus they need stiff and hard blades. So I can say you have made a great choice there. It is another questions that how well will you be able to use it for attacking with an inverted, if you have any. The blades you have mentioned are not stiff enough, especially the ALC/ZLC blades. The Texa Carbon has just the right edge of being stiff enough to use flanti/glanti and to able to topspin. I don't know about Barna blades.
I also use anti, but a grippier one on a 5-ply allwood. Before that I was using it on an 7-ply innerforce ALC and didn't really match well. Now it is perfect.

Hinoki 1 ply 10mm is very stiff as you would expect, but it is also very soft (hinoki is softer than limba) It offers the perfect control and dampening capacity. Next try will be Ovtcharov ALC which is thicker than innerforce ALC so therefore stiffer.

If that is okay for you, then there is nothing to worry about. You try anything you like or seem symphatetic. I did the very same, and I gotta say it was worth it.
