darker jspeed 70 vs 90

Rubber= h3 prov black, space between? U mean between the end of rubber to the handle snub?

So is speed 70 faster than speed 90?

and speed 90 is of highly quality?

What is the real difference between speed 90 and 70?

Speed 90 and 70 all came from the same slab of Hinoki (relatively speaking) before being cut into individual blades.  The cut blades will go through a selection process based on the visual inspection of the grain patterns (straightness and tightness), tapping test to determine the vibration, and other methods.  In general Speed 90 is slower and had better control than Speed 70.  But you could find cases that are just totally opposite.

I'd think the same applies to the J-Speed 90 and 70.

It is worth the money. Speed 90 is just amazing.

Not necessarily.  It depends on personal preference.  For example people who use KTS (specially the old label) would prefer Speed 70 over 90.

So does it mean that speed 90 has a softer feel, more control and lesser speed than speed 70? and speed 90 is made from better quality wood?
