Nittaku Ludeack Power

The Nittaku Ludeack Power is a 7-ply all-wood offensive blade designed to provide a balanced performance for versatile offensive players. It functions as a more powerful iteration of the standard Ludeack, offering increased velocity while maintaining a solid and distinctly muted impact feel. Due to this muted sensation, the blade can sometimes feel deceptively slower than its actual output, which is generally classified within the mid-offensive range.

Playing Characteristics

• Flex and Dwell: Despite being a 7-ply construction, the blade retains notable flexibility and provides an average dwell time, allowing for effective topspin execution.
• Stiffness and Feel: It avoids the rigid, stiff character often associated with many high-speed blades, preferring a more dampened response that aids in controlled blocks and delicate placement shots near the net.
• Versatility: The blade performs well for both close-to-the-table play and mid-distance rallies. It is highly compatible with a variety of rubber types, including tacky Chinese rubbers on the forehand for aggressive loops, as well as modern tension rubbers.
• Balance: The construction offers a stable platform for power loops and serve variations, providing enough feedback for precision, even if the muted signature feel requires some adjustment to interpret the point of contact accurately.
