Using MX-P and FX-P on NAC, these rubbers are just to bouncy for me. Short game suffers. Have hard time with control. They don't just feel right on NAC, I don't know why.

NAC is a very nice blade, one of my favorites among the dozens of blades I have owned and used over the years. It behaves like a good 5 ply wood blade on low and medium effort strokes. Great woody feel. Very spinny on loops and pushes, great for flicks and over the table strokes. Blocking would be good, above average but not really its strong quality. Control on short game is good. So on low medium powered strokes you sometimes forget that it is a carbon blade. It has a soft feel, almost like pleasant "butter like" feel using a T05 on loops.
But when you exert power like a determined smash, drive or a counter, the ball just zips. Same thing with punches and punch blocks, the speed is there. Then you remember it is actually a carbon blade. I disagree with some earlier post that it is linear. It behaves unlike most carbon blades as it feels, plays and handles like wood at low medium powered strokes. With strong strokes it manifest the carbon speed. All my other blades are flared, and I prefer flared blades. My NAC's handle is ST, still I was surprised that I found it very comfortable to play with. No adjustment needed. It is a pleasure to play with. I have decided to give it a name . . . . "Wet Dream"

  Finishing was done !!! Only the handle, not the head.  NAC in action. Pairing with O-V-tour / Rasant powersponge. After few hit I feel that it is too thin for my-liking , but don't get me wrong it is not that flexy. It is a thin solid blade, minimal flex still some. Woody feel, I'm sure there is a woody feel, quite similar to the innerforce series. A lot of feedback, little vibration. Short game - Plenty of dwell time which gives control, not bouncy at all. But there is is too much dwell time for short game, lacking of a speed I need, I have to swing my wrist faster than normal stroke. But gives a good outcome for precision, and spin. Serving return is good. Easy to keep the ball short I agree with the previous review that this blade go slow when player relaxing the hand. But this doesn't mean it has gear , it is linear but just too much dwell for my taste in short game. Top spin - The trajectory goes with medium arc and going long to the end of the table (mostly). Weird for me. Enough speed for smashing it doesn't lack the quality of this perspective at all. It produce a very good second speed !! I can see the ball landing on the other-side and flip away. If with high spin sometime it goes "POPs" away. Backhand top spin with soft rubber, so far Rasant power-sponge is the softest rubber I have ever used for my backhand lack of the hardness I need. (I usually be with hexer HD.) But paring with NAC does surprise me it just goes well together. Enough dwell time and flex for an openning loop, enough solidity for a kill shot. The feedback gave me a precision. Serving - It is a good spin machine. So far as your serving technique are good. Don't worry! It serves you well. Even if it is pricey. It is a good blade which have a capability of speed and control. You will not disappoint at all, along with my friends at the local club they gave me comment that it is a unique one, a great quality which surprise their expectation. NAC was overlook in Thailand as it is too pricey and a 4500 Thai Baht (150 US dollar or less by bits) People will go for a BTY or Stiga product as they are more popular and easy to sell as 2nd hand. So this is a awesome move for Nittaku !!! |

I sealed it using Nittaku Racket Protect. I like it because it leaves behind a very thin coat of wax like coating, so not to disturb the feeling of the top wood ply. When coated both sides, edges and the handle, it adds about 1-2 grams of weight. And if re-rubbering, assess if it needs to be reapplied. I have been using the Racket Protect for all my blades. Been great, except for this one time when I was pealing the rubber in a hurry and going the wrong way (bottom to up), the correct way is sideways against the grain (e.g. left to right). |

 A happy birthday gift from my girlfriend. [IMG]smileys/smiley40.gif" alt="Party" title="Party A 90g NAC with a typical carbon "ping" sound seem a bit head heavy. Handle is a bit larger and more comfy than the original one. Put an old hexer HD and try some spin test and speed test. (about 5 min) I would give 8.5 on BTY scale maybe it's a control oriented carbon blade. Yes it go very linear you get what you gave. Good spin so far on serve and topspin. On the process of lacquering, more review soon Edited by Crowsfeather - 07/13/2014 at 8:56pm |

Just received my all new Nittaku Accoustic Carbon from Tabletennis11 in perfect shape :)
Specs:
Currently playing with Butterfly Mazunov, Joola Samba NTec 2.0 and 1.8 As I didn't had the time to play with it yet I'll try to post a review later this week/early next week. People from Tabletennis 11 where so kind to also add some extra balls and additional side protecting tape for free. However I have already added some pictures:     Edited by brinta - 05/13/2014 at 8:33am |

TOP SECRET try a workout rubber band to wrap it over the handle before wrapping your grip tape. stretch it tight so it grips hard on the handle, but tight enough it won't snap while you play.  in my case, it added up more control and touch feel to the blade. the rubber band somehow added cleaner definition of the vibrations and transfers a better clarity onto my palm.. plus you can calibrate how much touch feel you want by adjusting how tight it is on the handle, and thin enough for better power transfer. then, I've used another real soft, real thin band over it so it won't be too grippy on my grip. I highly recommend it.. definitely much better than any commercial grip tape. Edited by regiz.rugenz - 05/07/2014 at 4:46pm |

Just recieved nittaku accoustic carbon
The setup is FH Nittaku Hurricane 3 Pro and BH Xiom sigma 2 Euro This was my first time using hurricane series, let alone Nittaku rubbers. I've only come with few composite blades on the past such as Innerforce ZLF, photino, Sardius, Gergely 21, Iolite, Schlager, and schlager light. But almost 1 year i've switched to wood blades. In overall this was the best feel of composite blades out there that i've tried before. Speed was about 9/10 i think its in between IF ZLF and Photino speed range Control was good(this is sort of biased cos I don't really now what control is because it was very subjective and hardly able to differentiate with gears) Feel I would score 8/10 where accoustic, violin, and OSP Virtuoso would be 10. In terms of playing Push: I found pushing were very easy on both sides Blocking : This setup really excels in blocking Smashing : Its really good with this one, even better than my current setup in terms of consistency I'm not really good at reviewing, but after around 20 blades that i've bought this one really is the best one and I will keep it for at least a year. |

I got my acoustic carbon (AC) 89gr today from ttjapan and played with it. Coming from normal acoustic (NA) L handle, I have to use grip tape because the AC is too head heavy with 2 t05 and a small handle. I didnt feel any loss in feeling with the grip tape though. I actually prefer the balance after grip taped. It is still head heavy but not too much. Unlike the NA L Handle, too balanced and hence not enough power. The AC is also much more powerful and deadly than the normal acoustic but with much more feeling than TB ALC 90gr that I have (yes the hide glue feeling of normal acoustic is still there!). Will be sticking with it for a while :)

Head heavy blades specially with tenergy 05 rubbers. Normal flared handle feels to slim. First impression not as i thought it would be. I Prefer Violin in terms of feel and spin but still head heavy or front heavy as we say. Maybe problem with balance etc.Both Acoustic and Violin weighed 88g. I ordered new blades with L large handle and hopefully balance point can go back due to a handle been larger. Nice blades but on the slowish side for my liking. Luck of spin compare to Timo Boll ALC.

From latest training session with this blade,
(FH drive multiball, backspin ball FH brush-looping, backhand topspin) still using the same rubber setup (H3NT50 FH - Tenergy80 BH) FH/BH drive medium range (not too far from the edge of the table): I still can say the vibration is little to none. Hard and stiff but yet IMO the speed is medium+, compared to BTY Amultart (which I categorized as fast+). My coach also voiced the same thing. Note: Haven't tried Nittaku Acoustic yet so I can't compare how big the speed increase upgrade from Acoustic to Acoustic Carbon. FH topspin drive far-distance (about >40cm from the edge of the table) : I believe that far from table distance playstyle when using Nittaku Acoustic Carbon is to conserve power by not keep going for topspin drive - counter topspin rallies! (Sounds good to me, since I can focus more on ball placement rather than all-out power) Cheers |

this is common to all blades.
if you hit a ball really soft the resulting ball is quite slow. if you hit a strong power loop the resulting ball is faster. I've never met a blade that when hitting a strong power loop was slow and when hitting a push in the short game was really fast. not sure that's physically possible |
