Nittaku Large Grant R

This is a fantastic blade for non-traditional J-Pen holders.

It offers a thinner profile with Kevlar carbon for enhanced speed and the option to use a backhand rubber.

Despite being a Nittaku product made in China, the quality is still top-notch. Personally, I’ve used Turbo H3 Blue on the forehand, and I found it to be very fast, which suits my aggressive style of play. I also experimented with short pips like Moristo SP and Rakza Z on the backhand. However, I do not recommend using short pips, as they lead to awkward chops and punching movements that don’t align with the J-Pen style. I found Rakza Z interesting; I had to lower the thumb grip slightly to improve my RPB angle.

Overall, this is an excellent racket for anyone looking to experiment with J-Pen while still utilizing the modern RPB technique used by penholders.
