Nittaku Septear Feel

Construction and Material Composition

This blade features a 7-ply construction consisting of 5 wood plies and 2 layers of FE Carbon. The outer layers are crafted from Hinoki wood, a material prized for its soft, premium touch and high-quality finish. Due to the inherent properties of Hinoki, the blade requires careful handling to avoid surface cracking or impact damage against the table.

Playing Characteristics

The blade is defined by its exceptional dwell time and high degree of feedback, providing a distinct “feeling” that connects the player to the ball. While it offers moderate to high offensive speed, its primary strengths lie in spin generation and placement accuracy. The combination of Hinoki wood and FE Carbon results in a stiff yet responsive feel that facilitates high-throw arcs, making it highly effective for looping, creating heavy spin, and executing precise short-game play.

• Dwell and Feel: The blade provides a “pause” effect during high-power strokes, allowing for significant tension and spin manipulation.
• Speed and Control: It is optimized for those who prioritize spin and control over raw speed. While it performs well in mid-to-near-table rallies, it is less suited for pure blocking, as the composition can be sensitive to incoming rotation.
• Versatility: Suitable for a range of playing styles, from active spin-oriented attacking to controlled defensive play. It is particularly noted for its ability to produce consistent, high-arc shots across different areas of the court.
