Nittaku Acoustic Large Handle

My best blade. I have handled numerous blades as a buyer and seller. Many woods have passed through my hands, some with exceptional qualities like the Donic WWC89 off, Tibhar Stratus, Tibhar Force, Viscaria, and the entire Nittaku range. However, this blade surpasses them all, achieving perfection.

For amateur players who prioritize control and looping, this blade is unparalleled. It offers unparalleled flexibility, control, precision, and connection. The 90-gram handle is perfectly weighted, allowing for heavy rubbers. With Victas Triple Double Extra on the forehand and Rakza Z on the backhand, I have achieved shots that were previously unimaginable—unexpected blocks, spin-laden tops, and precise serve returns.

This blade rivals the Viscaria in terms of looping, outperforming it by 10%. However, it may lack slightly in power. For everything else, the Acoustic proves superior for my playing style.

Compared to the Acoustic with internal or external carbon, the latter feels stiffer and less responsive. I am hesitant to sell the one with internal carbon due to potential rubber issues, but ultimately, I believe the Acoustic blade without carbon is the optimal choice for me.

Amazing blade! I tested new rubber with my Ac Large Handle (Tibhar Aurus Prime FH and Andro Hexer Powergrip BH).

The feeling with this blade is amazing; it’s easy to generate spin. The control and feeling are remarkable; every defense hits the table. It’s easy to drive against pimples and 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. It is a bit faster than the Violin but also has a bit more flex, making it GREAT for generating spin. This blade is a LOOPING MACHINE, but good technique is necessary to execute the true potential of this beautiful masterpiece of a blade. It also has many “GEARS”. If you want to gently push and chop close to the table, it will handle it with ease. Mid to far distance looping rallies are a pleasure with the Acoustic. I will be with this blade 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. It is a bit pricey but WELL WORTH it if you can afford it.

Massive throw with heaps of control. Big fl handle works well with flexible blade.

An upgraded version of the original, I believe it is better. The original blade is slightly more head-heavy than normal, so you have to be careful of selecting heavy rubbers. It also had a smaller handle which needed extra tape. However, the LG handle is a decent size for the average person and the overall weight balance has largely improved. This means I can put those heavy rubbers like Tenderly 05, etc., and it still feels light.

Anyway, going to the performance of this blade, it is as good as the original if not better. This blade is made for loopers, very high dwell, spin, control, and flex. This blade is not slow; it has got a lot of power when you need it.

Edit after playing with the new one for a few months. This one is better than the original, and I think it’s still better than the carbon version, which has less arc and makes it difficult to land shots. All wood acoustic large handle is the best all the way, the blade has lots of power, who needs carbon!
