Nittaku Tenaly Original

Corrects a lot of problems with grip, especially if you have any wrist issues or previous injuries. I would imagine wheelchair players would also benefit from the handle design.

I have used the original Tenaly blade for a year now and find it to be the best blade for control and placement. I particularly appreciate the ergonomic handle, which facilitates effortless topspins and backhand flicks. Although it took a few months to fully acclimate to the handle, it now feels like an extension of my arm.

The exceptional control of this blade enables me to execute soft shots and powerful topspins with ease, regardless of my position on the table. Transitioning between forehand and backhand strokes is also significantly smoother compared to a conventional handle.

In comparison to other carbon blades I have tried, such as the Timo Boll Spirit, I find them to be excessively fast, resulting in a higher percentage of shots landing off the table. Having experienced the advantages of the Tenaly’s ergonomic handle, I have no desire to revert to a conventional handle.
