The Nittaku Acoustic was made according to the principles used in making string instruments. The materials used for this blade are thicker and softer than those in the Nittaku Violin. This provides the Acoustic with stable characteristics when attacking and blocking. Made in Japan.

I didn't use this blade much back in the celluloid ball days, but once the switch to plastic balls happened and I picked it up again, I got hooked.
First of all, the grip on the ball is amazing.
You even get that sticky, sucking-in feeling. On top of that, the distinctive sound of the "string instrument" series brings back the pure fun of table tennis, regardless of how good or bad you are.
Ball speed is a bit behind a carbon blade, but I think it's hands-down the most stable blade out of any I've used.
For a beginner, I think it'll help you improve going forward, and for intermediate to advanced players looking for stability, it's a blade I can recommend too.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

A journey of a thousand miles begins with tools (Experience: ４〜５ years) The pinnacle of wooden blades. The ultimate feel is one of a kind.

As the title says, this blade sits at the very top of wood blades (5-ply).
By adopting the adhesive technique used for stringed instruments, the Acoustic widens the sweet area and increases stability, giving it a feel with a solid core, resulting in a blade with excellent performance for both offense and defense. This creates that sticky, grabby feel on the ball, which I felt makes practicing table tennis fun.
If there's one drawback, it's that the grip is on the thin side, so it won't suit everyone. If you'd prefer a bigger grip, I'd recommend the Acoustic G-Revision instead.
When I bounced the ball on a few at the shop, I felt the unit-to-unit weight variation was smaller than with other blades, so I'd recommend picking whichever unit feels easiest for you to swing.

Pushes are insanely sharp.
Stops and blocks are easy to control.
Smashes have power too, and you can attack decently even from away from the table.
The ball sits on it well.
I also use the Acoustic Inner Carbon, and that one has slightly faster ball release and more speed. The short game is easier with the regular Acoustic though.
I have zero complaints about the Acoustic. It's a perfect match with Fastarc G1 C1.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Spin grabs well, flat hits are easy, stops actually stop the ball, and above all, the way the feel travels through to your right hand is the best I've experienced so far.
Mine was an 86g unit, so it handled well too.
The combo with Tenergy was amazing!
People say it doesn't have speed, but the ball comes off it surprisingly well.
I think it works with unorthodox rubbers too.
Anyone who hasn't made it to nationals should honestly just use this.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

(Experience: ６〜１０ years) A contender for best 5-ply ever made

2024/10/06
I used the 86g FL.
When I picked table tennis back up as a working adult, this was the first blade I bought.The bounce is standard for the 5-ply class, and at a thin 5.5mm blade thickness, spin is quite easy to generate.
A heavy, substantial feel combined with a sweet spot that's remarkably wide for a wood blade — that's its one-of-a-kind strength.
I feel it's worth buying just to experience that alone.If I had to point out a drawback, it'd be that, to make up for power plus because of the grip shape, the balance is top-heavy. You might feel more weight than the actual spec number suggests.
The grip shape is also quite unique — an almost-straight, extremely thin flared grip with a fairly wide flange.
Depending on the person, adjustments beyond shaving the flange, like grip tape, may be needed.Obviously I'd recommend it for beginners, but it's such a masterpiece that plenty of seasoned players love it too.
If you can accept the price, this is a blade worth trying at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Gengar (Experience: ６〜１０ years) A grip that divides opinion

My unit weighed 89.2g.
It's a 5-ply wood blade, but the ball leaves it faster than I expected, giving a springier impression.
That said, the power is still very much what you'd expect from a 5-ply.
I think this suits someone who's using special-material blades and wants a bit more of that wood feel, rather than someone looking for a purely classic 5-ply.
The grip felt more thin than narrow — the flare section is deep, making the blade feel far from where you hold it.
I felt this is a grip that splits opinion, so if you're curious, I'd recommend holding one in person at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Nostalgic table tennis (Experience: ６〜１０ years) God-tier blade
-
2023/12/07
The number one god-tier blade among 5-ply wood blades.
Great feel, and the ball sits on it well.
The bounce is still lacking though, so you need to pair it with a bouncy rubber like Tenergy or Dignics.
Even setting that aside, the feel is so good that it's a blade I want to keep using forever.
It quietly comes with a one-year warranty too, which is nice, though the quality was good enough that I never actually needed it.
My personal complaint is that the FL grip is thin.
The ST version didn't bother me as much, so I'd recommend anyone with larger hands go with the ST grip or a large grip.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
