Nittaku Tenaly Acoustic
Blade description:
This is a high-performance all-wood blade that shares the core performance characteristics of the standard Nittaku Acoustic, providing exceptional feel and touch. It functions as a versatile “do-it-all” blade that remains stable during play, effectively minimizing annoying vibrations while maintaining a clean, responsive contact with the ball. Users report that it pairs particularly well with tacky Chinese forehand rubbers.
Handle and Geometry
The defining feature of this blade is its specialized Tenaly handle, which is angled to create a natural extension between the arm and the blade face. This design allows for a neutral wrist position, which can facilitate more natural stroke mechanics and improvements in both forehand and backhand technique. Please note that the blade head is smaller than standard dimensions (153×148mm), which requires custom-cut rubber. Potential users are encouraged to handle the blade in person, as the unique handle ergonomics are highly subjective and may feel significantly different from traditional shakehand or penhold grips.

This is an incredible blade. Control and feel comparable to standard acoustic and violin. I would really like to mention to all that Tabletennis11 is the only place that I ever buy table tennis equipment. They always do a great job with lacquering and rubber installation. Within the past few months, I’ve purchased several Nittaku blades from them, and they always do their best to fulfill all my requests. Thanks again, Tabletennis11. I will always be a lifetime customer.

Just over a year ago, I said that the Nittaku Barwell Fleet was the best blade that I’d ever had and that it had improved my game no end. This is still true as regards blades with standard shakehand handles. When I came across the Tenaly blades, I thought I’d like to try one and experimented with the original (and the cheapest) Tenaly to see if I could play with it. After a few weeks of getting used to it, I went for this Tenaly Acoustic blade. It is far superior to the original Tenaly and has a fantastic feel and control. It has improved both my forehand and backhand more so than the Barwell Fleet. It has not inhibited my game when playing with the Barwell Fleet, which has long pimples on the backhand side, so I can play with both blades. As I favor the backhand, especially for hits, long pimples were not an option for this Tenaly blade, which is now my favorite blade. Nittaku blades are my favorite even though some are rather expensive, but they are usually well worth the money (especially when on special offer).

I really like the bent handle of this bat. It allows the bat to be in a straight line with my arm without bending my wrist. This allows a more natural stroke.
