This lightweight blade offers excellent feel, making ball placement effortless. Despite its slower speed, it provides remarkable control. This blade is highly recommended for players who prioritize precision and control over speed.

I recently purchased this blade from tt11 and have played with it for approximately 10 hours. I have equipped the forehand side with G1 rubber and the backhand side with MX-p 1.7 mm rubber. My experience has been exceptional. The blade generates impressive spin and provides excellent touch. It excels in blocking, allowing me to play both aggressively or defensively. To my surprise, this blade outperforms my expectations. It is suitable for young players with a few years of training as well as semi-professional players. Nittaku has consistently impressed me since the 1970s.

Very good blade. I had the Latina Forest prior to this one, and when I switched, I noticed a significant improvement in my game. This blade offers more control and ample speed. I am extremely satisfied with this blade and do not envision changing it anytime soon.
