Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary

Highly rated as a control-focused racket with good stability for beginners to intermediate players, though some criticize its lack of speed and inconsistent spin generation depending on rubber selection.

■ Frequently Mentioned Points

Excellent ball grip and stable drive shots
Easy spin generation with superior foreground play
7-ply construction with ideal flex for intermediate players
Speed performance is slightly weak; rubber selection is crucial
Perfect for aggressive players at reasonable price

■ Representative Voices

▲ PositiveThe racket grips the ball firmly and produces very stable drives. The soft impact feel provides a good impression, making Nittaku synonymous with ease of use.

▽ CriticalAgainst high-level players, spin-dependent failures and lack of power are common issues. Performance becomes insufficient as skill improves. Spin consistency varies significantly with rubber choice.

Latika Maru (Experience: ２〜３ years) The ultimate blade

This is a godly blade.
Of course it doesn't fly much — it's the ultimate spin blade after all.
Pair it with Nittaku's best speed rubber, Fastarc S1, and you combine the ultimate with the best.
Add TSP's tacky sheet on top to boost the spin even more, and even a beginner can become a god of speed and spin.

Crotch (Experience: Less than a year) Hmm

Hmm...
how should I put it. Hard to use, but also easy to use, in a way.
How easy it is probably depends on the person. Playing close to the table was super easy for me though.

Razanta (Experience: ４〜５ years) A spin-oriented blade

This is honestly a great blade
A lot of reviews say it doesn't have much speed, but I don't think that's true
It puts a huge amount of spin on the ball
I use Rasant Beat, but I think it'd get plenty of spin with other rubbers too
Control is good as well — perfect for attacking players

Beginner (Experience: Less than a year) An attacking blade!!!

It flexes really nicely!
This is a perfect blade for aggressive players! Curve drives get a lot of spin, and the grip makes countering easy
(may vary by person)
Since it puts spin on the ball so well, drives and chiquitas are easy to pull off — this blade was a perfect fit for me!

Chichinpui Pui (Experience: More than ２０ years) Hmm, what is this

Hmm... how do I put this... the difference between when the spin catches and when it doesn't is huge. When it catches, it really rips. When it doesn't, it comes out as a knuckleball. It takes a lot of effort to get used to. I've been playing table tennis for over 20 years and I still haven't gotten used to it. Even after using it hard for three weeks, it still knuckles a lot (lol). I usually use the Freitas, and with that one the spin catches fairly consistently, but with this one... well, it's just not for me. That said, the speed is fast
and the control is so-so... hmm... anyway, it's a pretty middle-of-the-road blade
