Nittaku Bloodwood

The Nittaku Bloodwood is an OFF- composite blade featuring a 5+2 construction. It is designed for players who favor a spin-oriented game, particularly those who prefer to play close to the table. The blade offers a distinct and direct feel upon ball impact, coupled with a noticeable vibration that is transmitted clearly to the palm, providing the player with precise feedback during rallies.

Playing Characteristics

• Performance: It provides a balanced experience, delivering moderate speed that allows for controlled offensive play without being overly aggressive. The blade features a generous dwell time, which facilitates high levels of spin production when paired with the appropriate rubber.
• Dwell and Feel: The blade is characterized by a pleasant, tactile vibration. It performs optimally with a wide range of rubbers, though it is particularly well-suited to setups that allow the ball to penetrate into the sponge, enhancing spin on loops and serves.
• Weight and Compatibility: As a balanced composite blade, it is sensitive to the weight and hardness of the rubbers applied. Heavier rubbers may alter the balance and responsiveness of the blade, while soft or medium-hard rubbers tend to complement its dwell-focused nature effectively.
