External Review for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon (Large Grip) on October 4, 2024

If you are looking for spin this is the ultimate blade. Me as a intermediate and a prefered forehand-looper this blade gives me so much spin and control. The blade is very precise as well. I can aim for a spot and put it the there over and over. Best blade I have tried, very versatile. Medium-high throw angle, great sweetspot. This version with the LG is better balanced than the original.

Compared to other blades:

Acoustic Inner Carbon is a little faster, less spin and lower throw.
Viscaria is faster, less spin and a bit lower throw.

My best blade. I know many blades, in fact I buy and sell, so many woods have passed through my hands, some of which have magic (Donic WWC89 off, Tibhar Stratus, Tibhar Force, Viscaria, all Nittaku ones (violin, acoustic, with or without carbon, etc.)); but this is the best, it is simply perfect ... unless you are an international level player and you need something more reactive like the Viscaria or Donic World Champion, if you are an amateur player based on control and loop, you have to play with this (or with the Tibhar Force pro or Stratus): they are the most flexible, controllable, precise woods with the greatest feeling that can exist, there is nothing better. The handle is perfect, the weight of 90gr is perfect, you can put heavy rubbers (my blade weighed 200gr). I'm using black Victas Triple Double Extra (a heavy, china, blue sponge rubber, much like a boosted h3), and red Rakza Z on the backhand.

With this blade I have put on the table balls that I never got, unexpectedly good blocks, tops with a lot of spin, magic hits really, that I never expected to hit. Serve returns cost me a lot less.

It is the first wood that rivals the Viscaria in what I need ... the previous ones, very good, like the Tibhar Force pro, suffered from something: lack of power, or something that kept me away from the idea of ??using them .. This one has it all.

I think that, for looping, it is 10% better than the Viscaria, but it has maybe 10 or 20% less power; beyond this, for everything else, acoustic is better for my modest technique.

Compared to the acoustic with internal or external carbon, the latter feel stiffer and more dead ... I'll with not sell one with internal carbon just in case the problem is the rubbers it has ... but in the end the acoustic without carbon I think will be the best for me.

Amazing blade! Tested new rubber with my Ac Large Handle (Tibhar aurus primeFH e Andro Hexer Powergrip BH) The feeling with this blade is amazing, it's easy to generate spin. Control and feeling are remarkable every defense hits the table, easy to drive against pimples, easy to adjust the power and spin in each attack. I want to buy another already, just in case.

One of the best 5 ply all wood blades ever....."EXCELLENT blade. Amazing touch and feeling, a bit faster than the Violin but also a bit more flex, so GREAT for generating spin. This blade is a LOOPING MACHINE, but technique must be good to execute the true potential of this beautiful masterpiece of a blade. Also has many "GEARS" if you want to gently push and chop close to the table, no problem. It will handle it with ease. Mid to far distance looping rallies are a pleasure with the ACOUSTIC. I will be with this for years to come, My Viscaria is now in the closet collecting dust. I much prefer the feel of this blade to most composite blades i've tried through the years. A bit pricey but WELL WORTH it if you can afford it.

External Review for Nittaku Acoustic Carbon (Large Grip) on November 16, 2016

An upgraded version of the original and I believe it is better. The original blade is head heavy slightly more than normal hence you have to be careful of selecting heavy rubbers also had smaller handle which needed extra tape. However the LG handle is a decent size for average person and also the overall weight balance has largely improved which mean I can put those heavy rubbers like tenderly 05 etc and still feels light.
Anyway going to the performance of this blade it is as good as original if not better. This blade is made for loppers, very high dwell,spin ,control, flex.
This blade is not slow has got lot of power when you need it. Edit after playing with new one for few months. This one is better than original also i think its still better than carbon version which has less arc and difficult to land shots . All wood acoustic Large handle is the best all the way , blade has lots of power who needs carbon!
