Nittaku Acoustic Carbon

An absolute gem! The blade feels balanced, has a large sweet spot, can be very fast and consistent. It fits the quality of other Japanese made Nittaku blades. The blade is not light, mine sits near 90g, so careful selection of rubbers is a must if the weight of the racket is important to you. Note, Nittaku are releasing a large handle version of it in late May 2014.

the composite blade but allwood feel. very comfortable grip. very fast speed but controlable.

I have used Gergely Classic black tag, Amultart, Innerforce ZLC, Photino, Jun Mizutani ZLC (OLD), Jun Mizutani ZLC (NEW) and Timo Boll ZLC. I Thought Butterfly blades are the best but I was wrong when I used Nittaku Acoustic Carbon (NAC) blade. The feel, control and speed that I have been looking for a very time, I have finally found in NAC. What I only don't like with this blade is the WEIGHT but you can put light weight rubbers to compensate on it. I love this blade the 1st time I've used it and I immediately sold my Timo Boll ZLC because I finally found the blade I was looking for. I used Tibhar MXS FH and MXP BH. Must try blade for keeps. And it's way cheaper than any Butterfly ZLC blades.

Amazing control.... amazing blade... nice combination w/ new hybrid tacky rubber ... made for polyball

When i bought it my first thought was it d be too fast. coming from 5 plies all wood, my suprise is indeed it is fast, but not overly fast like hinoki/carbon blades. Speed is a bit higher than tenor. Same control. Touch is unbelievable. I paired with Fastarc G1 & S1. It has all gears. Dead when passive and explosive when full swing. Throw is medium. It is very loud :) Having played with TBS, TBALC, Vega Pro, Viscaria and some donics, i must say this one here is a keeper. It has the speed, control and most important to me, wood feeling and touch. If you find one with Large handle, just feckin buy <3
