Hi,are you selling your moonbeam or you want to trade for rubber.

Unfortunately, XIOM doesn't have all-hinoki blade. It isn't because XIOM cannot make it, but all-hinoki has no meaning in performance manner. Yes, "all-hinoki" is only good for advertisement and the satisfaction of customers. Of course all hinoki blades have their unique feel, but if we select "hinoki for only surface" we can create much better feel and better performance. I can say this because I am a blade developer.

Now there are four hinoki surfaced all-wood blades. But, none of them are all-hinoki.

I recommend Amadeus or Jazz first. Jazz is completely created by my hand. But, Amadeus is created first by the creator of legendary Clipper Wood. He designed the construction. And, I designed the head shape and handle shape. It was co-operation of Sweden and Korea.

I have had a BTY Hinoki Shake Swift. First, it was a wonder for me. Gradually, I found it's too much speed and too little sesitivity for me. Maybe, at that time, it was above my playing level. Now, that blade is of my coach, as a second, after Hurricane King. For me, Darker 7P2A-DF is much better and i play offensive with much, much sensitivity.
