About Cypress G-Max
Butterfly Cypress G-Max is a 2019 1 ply hinoki table tennis blade made in Japan. It is ITTF-approved, classed power-offensive (OFF+), and uses an all-wood layup with no synthetic fibre — more dwell and a clearer wood feel.
Factory figures: typical weight 92 g, thickness 9.5 mm. Handles listed: Penhold. Construction label All wood (1 ply hinoki). Power-offensive play from mid-distance — heavy loops and finishing hits is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 96, control 78, stiffness 90 (official mapping 96 / 78 / 90). All-wood blades in this speed band are usually chosen for dwell and placement rather than raw kick.
Community score 8.5 / 10 from 25 reviews. Indicative European street price €180. Compare Cypress G-Max with other all wood OFF+ blades on TableTennisReview.
