External Review for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon on November 2, 2023

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

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

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!

Notice: outer plies "limba" too soft, while removing the rubeers this can be a problem.

External Review for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon on October 15, 2016

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.

External Review for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon on October 7, 2015

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

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.
