My absolute favorite blade from Nittaku, even better than Acoustic. It can be really quick with the right rubbers. This quality is fantastic. It is very, very spinny with the new Hybrids.

#2January 2020

Simply amazing. Great feeling and control, great for short pips on the backhand.

#3November 2018

It’s my first real blade, coupled with Hurricane Pro 3 and Turbo Orange (Nittaku). I can’t really compare it to others, but I’ve been able to progress to a lower intermediate level quite quickly with it due to its great control. Now, I feel it’s a little slow and will probably use some faster rubbers like G-1 Fastarc and Rasanter R42. I’d definitely recommend it to a serious beginner who could use it throughout their career.

The Andro Ligna OFF’s construction is a 7-ply blade featuring an outer layer of limba and a core of kiri. The limba provides a hard surface to the blade, which gives it good power. The kiri core gives it a soft feel, which makes it easier to control. The Andro Ligna OFF is a good choice for players who want a blade with good power and control.

The Stiga Clipper Wood is a 5-ply blade with an outer layer of limba and a core of spruce. The limba gives the blade good power, while the spruce core gives it a soft feel. The Stiga Clipper Wood is a good choice for players who want a blade with good power and control.

This is a mid ALL+ to OFF- blade with excellent control and quality. It has a similar feel to the Petr Korbel and features a 7-ply construction of Limba and Ayous. The speed is comparable to the Stiga Offensive Classic. I have a straight grip version.

#6November 2017

My favorite 7 Ply wood blade, the Limba/Ayous/Ayous/Ayous composition blade, boasts incredible control and feel. Despite its solid Off- speed with the new ball, this blade offers the best control I’ve encountered. I own close to 50 blades, and this one excels in control.

On average, these blades weigh around 85g and have a thickness of 6.5mm. My collection includes five blades ranging from 84-87g and 6.4-6.6mm. In my opinion, this blade strikes a perfect balance between elasticity and flex for effective looping and counter-looping, as well as stiffness and backbone for strong blocks, hits, and directional control. Its weight distribution is relatively balanced.

The flared handle is comfortable to握 and fits my medium/large hands perfectly. It meets all my expectations, providing excellent feel and control with sufficient speed for my needs when paired with an offensive rubber. Top-notch Nittaku construction and finish make this an exceptional blade.

The Ludeack produces a crisp and direct contact on forehand (FH) and backhand (BH) drives, which affords an excellent feeling of the ball. The blade is only moderately fast, I would say low-to-mid OFF-, but it really delivers in the control segment. FH and BH drives were near-impossible to miss with this blade.

While the Ludeack is best suited close to the table and mid-distance, it still delivers from distances although greater physical effort is required. Even though the contact point is crisp, there is plenty of dwell time for generous spin generation. Accordingly, the blade produces a surprisingly high arc on FH loops against heavy backspin with plenty of clearance over the net, making it a…

The quality of the wood is incredible and the workmanship is at least as good as Butterfly. This is a quality offensive blade with enough speed and great control. What a beauty! ()

#9January 2013

The blade is built impeccably, resulting in an incisive spin and control like a defense blade. Despite its slightly slower speed, it is fast enough for most players.

When paired with fast rubbers, the blade becomes more offensive, making it suitable for players who want both control and speed in their play. For players who prefer more control and defense, the blade can be paired with slower rubbers.

#10January 2012

One of the best blades I’ve ever had. The blade produces vibrations when paired with soft to medium rubbers. It’s easy to handle and shines away from the table, making it a great choice for players who like to keep their opponents at a distance.

#11Long Time Ago...

Used by Jack ove Gabrys. Pure gold.

This blade is a great choice for any player who is looking for a blade that is both powerful and controlled. It is made of high-quality materials and is constructed with precision. The blade is also very durable and will last for many years.

The blade is designed to provide the player with a lot of power. The thick core of the blade generates a lot of spin and power, which allows the player to hit the ball with great force. The blade also has a large sweet spot, which makes it easy to hit the ball cleanly.

The blade is also very controlled. The soft outer layer of the blade provides the player with a lot of control over the ball. This makes it easy to place the ball where you want it and to control the amount of spin that you put on the ball.

Overall, this blade is a great choice for any player who is looking for a blade that is both powerful and controlled. It is made of high-quality materials and is constructed with precision. The blade is also very durable and will last for many years.

This is a true 7-ply gem. The best all-wood blade you can ever get. Brilliant ball feedback, lightweight, and superior Nittaku build quality. FL handle is super comfy, just like G Rev, suitable for large hands.

#13January 2024

Very good control and high speed, even for a beginner like me. An advanced player recommended it to me.

#14November 2023

The hollow sound is a bit distracting, but it is very controlled at slow games and quite fast when you hit hard. It has more gears than I expected, so a great blade for an all-round game. Not as fun to play with as an Acoustic, but Ludeack may well reduce your errors in a match, even though the top speed is a bit higher. The manufacturing quality is very high and the photos don’t do justice.

#15July 2023

Take time to get to know this blade, and it will improve your performance to a better level of consistency and quality strokes.

#16April 2023

I was looking for a blade with better control and after reading the review, I decided to go for this one. Nittaku Ludeack exceeded my expectations. It has the best control with an exceptional feeling. Paired it with Tibhar ELP (FH) and Tibhar Speedy Soft XD D.Tecs (BH).

#17May 2022

Switched to Ludeack from Xiom Michelangelo and I am excited.

#18August 2020

A bit surprised with this blade as I ordered it to compare with a Stiga Clipper. Good looking blade with probably the sharpest edges on the handle wing ever…sandpaper needed. Straight handle is ok, slightly thin.
It has a completely different feel, much more hollow (nearly a bit like cardboard…sorry), quite a bit of vibration. I feel it is not as stiff as Clipper but maybe harder…just strange, maybe more than 5 plies which I don’t have much experience with and never really liked.
However, after getting over this initial surprise, you definitely feel the ball very strongly and it has probably more spring than a Clipper, less linear in my view. Overall slower by at least 15% compared to my Clipper (my Clipper is a Classic with about 93g). Ludeack is much lighter, probably around 85g. Excellent service from tabletennis11.com.

#19November 2019

The blade is a bit small but with high-quality workmanship, it is suitable for hands and face.

#20August 2019

Nittaku Ludeack is a classic, 7-ply, all-wood blade. Paired with suitable rubbers, it becomes an all-rounder’s dream come true. The service offered by Tabletennis11 is first class.

#21August 2019

Great blade. Good speed, good control, and fantastic spin. 7 layers of wood assembled only in a workmanlike manner. For me, it remains one of the best frames in circulation.

#22March 2019

This blade excels for me with medium hard to medium rubbers on the FH and soft on the BH. Total control yet has enough gears to win the point as well.

#23August 2018

I bought a Nittaku Ludeack blade a couple of weeks ago, and I’m loving it.

Everyone I played with complemented it and said it was really good. I’m not too good at describing how it plays. It is labeled offensive, but it’s not the fastest blade out there. I think it’s more due to the rubber you stick to it that will dictate how it plays.

All in all, I’m happy with my purchase and happy with Tabletennis11 service. I’ve ordered twice from them, and both times were 100% satisfactory.

#24May 2017

More power than Stiga CL CR.

#25March 2015

Very nice blade. Not as powerful as the Ludeack Power, but a very control blade. The FL handle is very comfortable. The shipping was fast as always! Thanks a lot once Tabletennis 11.

Gil from Brazil.

#26October 2014

Excellent blade.

#27February 2023

Nittaku blades are top quality products and Ludeack is, without any doubt, a top-class blade. Classic seven plies limba ayous without composite materials. If you like the wood feeling, this is the right blade. I consider speed as an OFF-ALL+; medium dwell time. Also suitable for short pips on the backhand.

#28November 2022

The handle is squared, making switching between forehand and backhand less convenient. As for the feel and quality, very good! This blade is softer and of better quality than Stiga CL Clipper (another popular 7-ply wood blade).

#29September 2022

I switched from the Stiga Nostalgic Allround blade to this one for a little more speed. I think I got it. It is a medium-speed blade, not fast, with very good control. My straight handle is very comfortable for my medium-large hands. The weight of mine is only 78g!! It feels extremely light. It is worth buying, a beautiful high-end product.

#30January 2021

Amazing control. Comfortable handle. This 7-ply blade and assembled racket with Andro rubbers in maximum thickness seemed a bit heavy. Due to the thickness, I had to adapt the handle with a file so it wouldn’t rub. Overall, very satisfied with the quality of Nittaku as always and the service of TT11. Thank you for delivering in 2 weeks during the pandemic, which is very good (post office promises 25 days).

#31October 2020

One of the best Nittaku frames on the market. Great control, lightweight, and easy to handle. Exceptional spin.

#32September 2020

One of the best blades produced by Nittaku. Seven layers of wood, but with excellent control. Precise in the blocks and superlative in the topspin. One of the blades that give the ball an above-average rotation.

#33September 2020

Excellent blade, one of the best from Nittaku. Good control, good blocking, excellent exchanges, and excellent topspin. Exceptional rotation. Very well-built; it is a pleasure to play with. I have been using it for many years now and still haven’t been able to find a better replacement for it.

#34January 2020

Durable and easy-to-use attacking blade. Average weight. It consistently provides a strong spin, excelling in blocking and control.

#35September 2019

Great control with speed, great touch, nice blocking, nice spin.
A little stiff; better with soft rubbers in my view. Great quality; beautiful blade.

#36March 2019

I have been using this blade with Nittaku Fastarc S-1 rubber, Donic Bluefire rubbers, and DHS Gold Arc 8 for a while. It has the right combination of touch, feel, and power. If you prefer controlled looping rather than crazy fast shots, this is one of the best 7-ply wood blades for you. I just love it, and so does my table tennis playmate.

#37April 2018

Simply amazing. Great feeling and control, great for short pips on BH.

#38December 2017

My favorite 7-ply wood blade. It’s a Limba/Ayous/Ayous/Ayous composition blade with incredible control and feel. Considering its speed (solid Off- with the new ball), this blade has the best control I’ve ever encountered and I own close to 50 blades. On average, they are around 85g and 6.5mm thickness (I own 5 of them varying from 84-87g and 6.4-6.6mm). It offers (to me) a perfect balance between enough elasticity and flex for good looping and counter-looping and enough stiffness and backbone for good blocks, hits, and directional control. Weight distribution is fairly balanced. The flared handle feels great in the hand and is the perfect size for my medium/large hands. It does everything I ask it to do with great feeling and control and plenty of speed for my needs when paired with an offensive rubber. Incredible blade with typical Nittaku top-of-the-line construction and finish.

#39April 2017

Отличная доска. Похожа на Clipper, только качественнее изготовлена.

#40November 2015

Very nice blade, good control and enough power.

#41April 2015

Excellent.

#42November 2014

A good 7-layer blade!
