    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.

      Yuuki (Experience: 2〜3 years) Spin and control are great (○)

      Player reviews

      The spin and control are good, but it doesn't have much speed, so I think it works well paired with a harder rubber.
      I used to have Fastarc C-1 on my forehand, which had a nice balance of speed and spin and worked well, but when I switched to Rozena it didn't fly as much and the ball would drop, so even though it adds some weight, I think max thickness is the way to go.

      Nono (Experience: 6〜10 years) Amazing blade

      Player reviews

      The feel when hitting reminded me
      of a 5-ply blade.

      Speed isn't all that high, but
      it's incredibly easy to put spin on the ball

      I'd call this an all-round blade,
      a real all-rounder

      Player reviews

      The ball holds on the blade amazingly well. It has that distinctive wood flex, plus the bounce and grip you get from a 7-ply. It gives you solid control even with rubbers like the Arylate-Carbon or the P-1. The short game is its biggest strength. Just don't play too far back — staying close to the table for quick attacks, and it even feels like it could work with unusual rubbers or chopping. No problem at all as a step up from beginner to intermediate level. The price is good too, so I'd definitely recommend it.

      It's a 7-ply, but it has just the right amount of bounce and a really pleasant feel
      I think it's ideal for beginners to intermediate players looking to improve their technique

      Teruyuki Goto (Experience: 6〜10 years) Honestly a pretty great racket!

      Player reviews

      The other day I looked at the catalog and saw it was a 7-ply at 5.8mm
      — that's thin! was my first reaction.
      I was curious so I bought one, and...
      just like the catalog said, it doesn't bounce much (^ω^)
      heh heh heh heh heh
      but that means it's easier to put spin on the ball, which
      is the conclusion I landed on!!
      Well, Nittaku products never miss, and being Japan-made plus low-cost,
      I'd recommend it for beginners and intermediate players. Yep.

      mememe (Experience: 2〜3 years) Great racket!

      Player reviews

      It doesn't fly much but gets a good amount of spin, which is nice
      I used to use a Kokutaku blade,
      but I found this Nittaku one easier to use.

      smoked salmon (Experience: 4〜5 years) Hmm…

      Player reviews

      I bought this to switch from being a chopper to a drive-focused player!
      At first I could hit a stable two-winged game, but
      once I faced higher-level players, I often lost out on spin and power....
      I think it's good for beginners, but once you get a bit better it might start to feel lacking.
      Also, with this blade, no matter what rubber I use, if I bite deep into the ball with spin it doesn't catch much, but
      a thin graze catches spin well.
