Best Shinai that defies science

Having practiced Kendo for 40 years now, I know a thing or two about Shinai. Not only do I still practice, I train 3 times a week and enter as many competitions as I can afford to. It has been a year now since I have started to use Hitoyama. Right out of the package, it is balanced, smooth and the reverb on the Tenouchi gives a great feel for the strike. The part that defies science is that since last February I have used three Shinai. One of which went missing at an event! So the one that I am currently using since September has been through 5 tournaments (out of which I won 3 individuals and made one final) and all the practices in between. I use the same Shinai for practice and Taikai. This Shinai is a beast. I don't oil it and I often leave it in the car all day. Highly recommend and I wonder if I will ever use another Shinai again so long as this is on the market.
