Full of expectations, I bought this Nittaku blade to push my game to the next level. However, I am bitterly disappointed with the playing characteristics and feeling of the blade.

I tried the blade with the Joola Maxxx-P and the Nittaku Fastarc-G1, both in max. Surprisingly, despite the medium+ rubbers, the blade plays far too soft and is too slow for an Off+ blade. I would rate it as Off-. Every other Off+ blade I have played has been significantly faster than the S-KC (Andro CL, Butterfly Photino light, Joola Nobilis, TSP Balsa 8.5 etc).

The blade has good control in offensive play and blocking due to the very soft feeling. When pushing, it seems inconsistent and difficult to control.

Really positive is the workmanship and the balance of the blade.

Overall, it is not fast enough, not hard enough, and not what it meant to be from the marketing prose.

Soulspin made this blade. The blade came in at 85 grams and has a medium-large sweet spot. It feels light and powerful. I used 2.0 Nittaku FastArc g-1 on both sides. As mentioned in other reviews, which were scant, it’s pretty direct and has a good feel. It’s faster than the Hurricane Long 3/5 that I have used with the same rubbers, and the control is only marginally less than those blades but faster. I was able to produce plenty of spin when needed, brush the ball on soft shots, and power loop when needed too. It’s a very versatile blade for close-mid-game and only struggles with over 3 meters away from the table. Otherwise, it’s a great mid-distance machine. My backhands have never been better than with this blade. It gives wicked spin and a low arc that is impossible for the opponent to touch. It has a great short game, serves were easy, and touch shots struggle just a bit, but it’s user error. It’s only a bit bouncy but not out of bounds for its speed. This blade may be a magical wonder blade with rubbers like T05 or T05 hard on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this blade for its price. It feels great in the hand, has great feedback, minimal unwanted vibrations, and the ability to grip and then hit are easy and dangerous for the opponent. 9.4 out of 10. I would recommend this to those who want to find a decently priced composite blade without breaking the bank.
