Non è il più veloce, non è il più elastico ma è semplicemente il migliore.
I don’t have much to compare to, just an old Stiga caliber wood (can’t even find the specs on that). To me, it feels quite a bit harder, and when I really crank a backhand flick, it shoots 30% faster than the Stiga. If I land it (still practicing), it does not come back against 1800-level players. The trade-off is less dwell time. The soft kind of feel that makes you think you are catching and throwing the ball back, that I get from the Stiga. It also feels like it has a larger “sweet spot”. If this means the area where you can hit, and the ball still responds in a lively fashion. All told, I am getting used to it and finding my game overall faster than the Stiga.
This blade isn’t just beautiful. Incredibly good control, I’ve had many expensive blades, but the weight distribution is by far the best. No unpredictable catapult effect, fast, but not crazy fast. For those using Timo Boll ALC and Viscaria, this Nittaku blade won’t be fast enough for them, or just much more controllable. I’m not sure, but very easy to play with this Nittaku.
