Nittaku Septear Feel Inner

The Nittaku Septear Feel Inner is a composite blade featuring a 5+2 construction. It incorporates Kiso Hinoki layers, which contribute to a unique, soft feel that many users compare to the playing characteristics of an all-wood blade. The blade is designed for players seeking to transition from traditional 5-ply wooden blades to a carbon-fiber setup without sacrificing dwell time or spin potential.

Playing Characteristics

• Feel and Dwell: The blade is characterized by a soft, dampened touch. Due to its inner-carbon composition, it provides significant dwell time, allowing for effective spin production during looping and touch shots.
• Speed and Gears: It functions as a medium-fast blade with a non-linear reaction; it maintains controlled speed during slow to medium-intensity shots but provides additional power when engaged with forceful strokes.
• Trajectory: The blade typically produces a medium to high arc, resulting in a longer ball trajectory.
• Balance and Construction: The build quality is noted for being high-end and well-balanced. The handle design is slightly longer and thinner than standard, which helps prevent a head-heavy feel when paired with modern rubbers.

Suitability

This blade is well-suited for offensive and all-around styles that prioritize control and spin. It performs effectively with a wide range of rubbers, though it is often recommended to pair it with medium-hard or hard-sponged rubbers to maximize the benefits of the inner-carbon core. While it is often compared to other professional-grade inner-carbon blades, its specific combination of Kiso Hinoki and carbon layers creates a distinct playing experience that balances stability with a touch-sensitive response.
