Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner

This paddle provides excellent control and lots of speed for a dynamic game, which gives me everything I need for my style, which is a close-to-the-table game based on offensive smash and spin. I’m very pleased with this purchase.

I like this blade. Good control, power when it is needed with a good quality of Nittaku!

This blade gives all the control you need; however, for intermediate and advanced players, the blade feels too slow, especially when driving opens on chop serves. You get that crisp feel when you hit flat, and the inner gets activated for flat shots likely versus topspin.

One of the best blades I have played with. Paired with Xiom Vega Pro H on forehand and Morristo SP on bh. Facilitates very good rotation and respectable power and control. Woody feeling, highly recommended.

Having tested the wood, outer, and inner versions of the Acoustic, I can definitely say that the inner is my favorite. It is an incredible blade in every way. The inner blade is like a more stable version of the wood blade, with more power when needed. Short game is easy, produces massive spin with good rubbers, and has no discernible weaknesses for me. I’ll definitely stick with this one!!!.

This is the most advanced blade I’ve ever used. This blade has great feeling, lots of flex and vibration. When I first started using it, I couldn’t differentiate between whippy and flat shots. As I played with the blade more, I realized this blade can hit slow/fast whippy shots and flat shots with proper technique. This blade rewards proper strokes and punishes you for using improper strokes. As a player and a coach, I recommend this blade a lot because of that. This blade is very fast, but can also hit slow shots as well; it just requires a bit of feeling.

When I was a kid and just started playing table tennis, this was my dream blade. I didn’t want to get it because it was expensive, and I had just started playing and didn’t want my parents to spend that much money on just a blade with no rubbers in a sport I had just started playing. I got older and better and used a number of different blades and rubbers, and after taking a break from table tennis for a while, I came back and bought this blade after trying my friend’s. I don’t want to get ahead of myself with saying this, but I think this is the last blade I’ll ever use. It was my dream blade as a kid for a reason, and now I don’t think I’ll ever use another blade as my primary again.

Blade quality is excellent. The inner carbon gives you a lot of control and feel. You really need to hit hard to engage the carbon layer. Recommend pairing with a hard rubber for FH. Players used to outer ALC blades will find this blade to be slower. But you get more time and control for each shot. Overall, great product.

All-wood feeling and sturdy! I love it.

I paired it with a Hurricane 8 39º and a Hurricane 8-80 38º. It has great control, and when you hit hard, it is very powerful. It is flexible and vibrates a lot, so it gives you good feedback when you hit.

Играю с P-1 на обеих сторонах. Всё устраивает, менять не буду.

Good control in the short game, power when needed, full confidence in it.

For us amateur players, there are probably plenty of bats that will feel good. The extra here is the Nittaku quality: no splintering (like I had with Butterfly), and the handle feels really good too. I also appreciate that the Nittaku handles are smaller (which makes it also great bats for kids BTW).

Very good and also control ply.

Оптимальный выбор для любителей.

I really like this blade. Good wooden feel and it fits my technique. The handle is smaller than other blades, but it fits my hand if I wrap a grip tape.

Inner — great feeling: much better than just carbon — it plays perfectly with rubber Andro Rasanter R 42 or Tibhar Evolution MX P or S.

Straight flat cut and sharp flat strokes. (Weight 83 g)

Wonderful short game with great control.

Excellent blade, one of my best. It’s far from being a speed monster, but can finish a point without a problem using reasonable force. The feeling is great, and the spin produced as well. I use it with Fastarc G-1, a very good combo.

Fast, light, and powerful blade with many gears; the higher your level, the better (not as easy to control as wooden blades).

The blade is of superb quality and design. Not as fast as Acoustic Carbon, but with better control. Good for players that need to control more than pure attack.

Even though this is an inner carbon type, the feeling is pretty stiff, so be cautious with your decision.

The throw angle is medium, with a long and fast trajectory. It requires a skilled hand.

I think that the grip is fitted with small hands.

The blade is a bust, and the worst. I paid $130 for it.

High quality blade, kind of soft, for my existing technique. Bought it for developing my spinning skills.

I also own the Violin Carbon blade. Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner (NAC Inner) offers an excellent feel and control similar to the Violin Carbon. However, it is slightly slower and stiffer. NAC Inner is highly user-friendly due to its soft touch and exceptional control. The carbon layers only become noticeable when striking with force.

The blade boasts a large sweet spot and performs well across all types of strokes, particularly in looping. It pairs effectively with tacky Chinese rubbers. For backhand play, I suggest using hard rubbers on NAC Inner if you prefer active blocking and punching shots. Medium or soft rubbers tend to result in less control for harder shots. Hard rubbers provide superior control for NAC Inner on backhand.

It is important to note that this blade is head-heavy, which aligns with my preferences (though this may vary among players). My blade weighs in at a remarkably lightweight 87 grams. The handle is slightly thinner compared to other blades, but this has minimal impact on my gameplay.

Lastly, the craftsmanship of this blade is exceptional, featuring a beautiful finish. Given its versatility, I highly recommend NAC Inner to players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. If you are willing to invest, this blade offers exceptional value for money.

Update: After several months of play, I am certain that NAC Inner deserves a solid 9 rating in terms of speed. I find it puzzling that the average rating on this site is only 8.7. NAC Inner is undoubtedly faster than Stiga Infinity, which is rated at 8.7 on this site.

I’ve been using this blade for over a month, and I love it. The handle is a bit thin, but it doesn’t bother me at all. This blade is light and well balanced. It’s great on the short game due to the soft limba outer plies. If you are using medium-hard or hard rubbers, you have to hit quite hard in order to activate the inner carbon layers. This means you will have great control on softer shots. But when you hit hard, you can bring out the full speed potential of the blade. This blade shines when looping. It has great dwell time and topspin potential. Blocking and chopping are very good too. If money isn’t an issue, I highly recommend this blade to all players who like to loop a lot. Also, TT11 has great service. I asked for an 88g blade and received exactly that weight.

Outstanding feeling. Not stiff like many carbon blades as the carbon is buried deep and really just is noticed on hard hits. So it is not a very fast blade. Same as Acoustic on soft touch, a bit of a kick on hard hits.

He probado casi todas las maderas de alta gama y ésta tiene un nivel más arriba.

Amazing blade… the best I’ve played so far. For three years, I played with the Stiga Intensity NCT, an off blade that lacked control and was stiff. Unsuitable for me, I then switched to an all+ blade, the Yasaka Sweden Extra. It offered excellent quality for the price, with great control, spin, and feeling. However, it lacked power and had a medium sweet spot, occasionally causing vibrations.

The Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner C Pen has only positives: amazing control, ample power, excellent feel, perfect weight, comfortable handle, and exceptional quality. Its only drawback is the price of €182, though it’s available for €146 with TT11 Weekly special prices. This blade is truly a gem.

This blade is fantastic. Very good wooden feel and control along with a lot of power and catapult effect when hit hard. Great for close to the table, mid-distance, and away from the table. You can generate a lot of power and place the ball exactly where you want with a lot of spin and accuracy. Fantastic craftsmanship and feel. I have more than 20 top-class setups, and this is one of the best.

Ottimo telaio dal grande feeling, con il carbonio in 3° strato sembra di avere un telaio in solo legno, non troppo rigido, lo uso con gomme andro rasant 2,1. Unica pecca, forse un po' troppo veloce per me. Lo considero comunque, insieme all’hinoblaze, allo stiga ebenholz V e al butterfly innerforce zlc, uno dei migliori telai prodotti tra solo legno e fibre varie. Come velocità è superiore a tutti gli altri citati.

At first, I was confused by the price and worried that it was going to be tip-heavy for being an attackers' choice. After playing with defensive rackets, this one felt surely a bit off. But I got used to it quickly, and my worries vanished.

This blade has high power while maintaining control and scaling to your gear. An excellent choice, the best I’ve touched so far.

Similar to Nittaku Acoustic, but with more power on hard hits.

Real wood feeling with good control. The carbon shows power when strongly hit! Perfect product!

It is 12mm edge tape that says Yasaka. It sticks well and has a protective quality. TT11 price makes it a worthwhile buy!

If compared with the acoustic guitar, then younger brother thinks fast break carbon guitar a lot better (Bi Boer ZLC better), feels very solid hit version without the slightest sense of emptiness. Bite pull the ball when the ball is still the aspect carbon guitar. Guitar better rhythm in attack faster than a lot of acoustic guitar (relative to the user to be able to control). Guitar is sprayed carbon bomb, but to maintain a certain degree of stability, it note focus is simple. I bought two carbon guitar, feel almost exactly like a butterfly carbon, same model will have a big gap. Anyway, hit the fast break like swing speed more. Carbon guitar is a great choice. Pure arcing laps do not recommend, la.

说实话，虽然这块底板是内置，但是不觉得肉，还是有碳吉他的速度感，控制感也很出色，桐木手感非常明显。吃球比外置碳吉他深一些，底劲也略好，也是一块适合中近台弧快的底板。

The very same filling with Acoustic, but giving more power.
