Nittaku Tin Arc Power

The rubber topsheet is made by DHS for Nittaku. The sponge is Nittaku made.

This is a revised review, as the first rubber had extremely poor durability (bubbled and cracked behind the edge, after around 30 hours of use). It was for the forehand.

The TT store and Nittaku were kind to give me a replacement rubber. Also placed it for forehand.

After around 20 hours of use, there was fear that the same issues were going to happen with the replacement rubber (two small cracks started appearing about 2 cm behind the edge). However, they haven’t grown, still around 2 mm long, after 100+ hours of use. It does not appear to affect play.

Speed-wise, it is medium. Spin-wise, quite good! Control is awesome. And if you put power to it, you can get quite good winners.

Perhaps the first rubber was a defect, as the replacement rubber is much better, near perfect.

However, it seems like Nittaku has stopped marketing it, maybe an issue with it—as per my experience. I am planning not to get another one as the model appears to be end of life.

Anyway, good rubber for playing, great feeling! Great experience. As the durability is unconvincing (one was defective, and the other has a small defect), I will give it an average durability rating.
