Reviews of Nittaku Acoustic Carbon - Chinese Penhold (12)
This blade has a one of a kind control and consistency. Not so much speed or my level is not enough but if you are looking for control you got it with Nittaku Acoustic Carbon
Bought at 86 grams. Handle is quite small. Head heavy. Played with Chinese, hybrids and euros. Worked best with Euro/Jap rubbers. Somewhat linear in output and medium catapult that sometimes left you taking the slower shot in fear of unknown catapult. Getting a ton of spin with hot and cold and not consistent due to bouncy nature and opponents shots. Blocking is good, loop driving is ok but nothing to mail home about. Easy to counter and serve recieve wasnt bad. Just head heavy and inconsistent bounce. The quality control was something to be desired, one sides too ply was noticeably thinner than the other side to almost being as thin as the carbon under it. I would try the inner version or Barwell Fleet or any Gyo En before this one imo
I use viscaria for 2 month before try NAC. I think NAC has better feeling on me. The are someting unique felt in my hand every time i use this blade. The handle is thin but long / tall enough than viscaria and i like that. Is this better than viscaria ? i dont think so but I more enjoy play with NAC. i think speed is not too fast but thats what i want. My friend use yinhe V14 pro and feel faster but if talk about feeling NAC more nicer, enjoy and make me addict to play with
I tried this one with various short and medium pips on the backhand and a spinny rubber on the forehand bit never found a combo that worked for me. Good quality blade though.
Used by the sponsored Nittakuplayers, this is among the best. Fast as hell, the carbon lies clooooooose to the outer ply. This doesnt bother me, but maybe more had bought it if the carbon had lied further down the blade. But a world-class blade it is!
