Nittaku Latika Carbon

Class act blade from Nittaku. It feels so nice in the hand with a very subtle and indescribable vibration. It’s got lots of gears, accurate placing, and is an ultimate looper’s dream! Blocks like a dream (with Fastarc P1s on both sides), but could use a little more speed. Definitely a spin demon!

Flat hits tend to have a high arc, so racket angle is important. Mine is an ultralightweight 78 grams, so it might be faster if it were heavier. I like how it slices through the air, being that light and being a really thin 5.5 mm thick blade.

Paired up with Fastarc P-1 2.0 mm on both sides, this is an absolute wonder to behold. Again, I wish it had just a touch more speed without affecting the spin, gears, control, and feel, but otherwise, it’s one of my favorites. Try it out, you’ll like it!
