Darker Imperial Hinoki 2020 (9 mm) OFF+ is an exceptional 1-ply blade crafted from carefully selected premium Japanese Kiso Hinoki wood. It is one of Darker’s most exclusive and luxurious models, with every stage of production—from wood selection to handcrafting in Japan—performed to the highest standards. Its solid 9 mm Hinoki construction delivers an incredibly soft feel, extended dwell time, effortless power transfer, and natural elasticity. Despite its OFF+speed, the blade retains remarkable touch and precision during both delicate shots and full-power attacks. The Kiso Hinoki used is extremely rare, requiring centuries of growth, making every blade truly unique.
The Imperial Hinoki 2020 is designed for elite offensive play centered around powerful topspin attacks, fast counter-loops, and exceptional ball feel. The single-piece Kiso Hinoki construction makes heavy spin generation effortless while producing a high throw angle and exceptionally smooth energy transfer. It responds naturally to the player’s touch—remaining soft and controlled in the short game while unleashing tremendous speed during full-power attacks. As premium Hinoki is naturally delicate, careful handling is recommended to avoid damage from hard impacts against the table
