Coming soon! Nittaku Acoustic Carbon

Handle is the same like the normal one, NOT THE L-SIZE.

Well I promised you guys an update.
This blade will be my main blade next season for sure.
It is best feeling carbon feeling blade I played without it losing spin/speed/control or whatever u want.
Its a beast on fast shots and spins, but if you relax your hand and want to play the short game that works just as good.
Compareed to my Virtuoso it has more speed on fast shots, lower speed on slow shots (or maybe same speed but lower over the net). I felt the V-Carbon sacrificed spin for speed, but not with this great blade.

Im in love, if u want me to answer your questions please feel free to ask.

More feel, better power away from the table, better short game and a bit softer. So it might be a bit less easy to play a hitting game close to the table, but it delivers me more spin.

Acoustic large handle feels like a normal acoustic with more speed and more bounciness compared to the non l-size one. So it would especially be worse in short game compared to the carbon.
I think you can compare the hardness to the V+, its just a bit different feel, I actually like the carbon feeling on this one, something I disliked in almost any carbon blade.
I havent tried vking, but im not a big fan of koto outers I think, most blades I enjoyed playing had limba as top ply.

For this blade feels like my dream blade so far, using a season old Tenergys and still getting lots of spin. I will probably get new Rakza rubbers today and will try those tonight. Loved the rakza7 on the Mizutani and the blades are quite similar in build, I put them next to eachother and all the plies showed similar thickness. So I guess I like the carbon in the Acoustic more.

Its 2 notches slower then Photino, its quite hard to give it a rating. It is Off on offensive shots and Off- when playing on control. Blocks are fast and low, but touch shots go just over the net when I relax my hand.

I ordered griptape to see if that works on the handle, if that doesn't feel comfortable ill just play with this thandle since I was used to a normal acoustic aswell.

Well I dont really like ST blades, however they do feel thicker even on the nittaku handles.
So if ST suits you that might be an option.

I havent heard anything about L-size carbon yet, however I prefered how the normal sized acoustic played over the l-size. I also think they should make a handle in between the normal and the L-size, since the l-size is a bit to chunky for me.

I use 05 in 2.1(max) on FH and 64 in 1.9 on BH.
This works very well but when I tried the Rakza7 on the MJ it gave me even more control on almost all shots except spin over spin, but I think this is just some adjusting.

I will use Rakza7 Max on FH and 2.0 on BH.
If I dont like this on the BH I have a 1.8 Rakza7 Soft to try.

If in the end Rakza7 doesn't turn out to be better for me then Tenergy, I will take the new Tenergy rubbers of my Virtuoso.

I just got an email that the rubbers were send out today, while they mailed me they would send them out last friday.. So wont be trying the rubbers until thursday.

Blade is 157-150 I believe, the same as normal acoustic.

How does the acoustic carbon compared to timo boll t5000? Which carbon fibers are faster, the tamca5000 or acoustic carbon's?

Amultart have more feeling than AC?
Can anyone confirm this?
Little to no vibration means no feeling??
A bit confusing..

Hard and stiff were different measures.
If you put pressure to theire blades and it does not bent means its stiff. The other way around was flexible. Flexy blades are barricade defense and stiff blade for example sardius. Am I right? Thats what I know. Maybe im wrong.
Soft and hard was kinda the feeling. I ussualy notice it with the top ply or by the amount of dwell time. Softer blade are usually have higher dwell and hard blade have less..
Normal accoustic were soft. And woth the same construction it suppose to be arround the same. If it was harder than amultart that would be really strange.
Im a newbie. Maybe someone can tell regarding about this matter.

I dont know, must be your feeling?
The Amultart is like a brick compared to my Acoustic carbon. Less spin and no control in short game.
If you think the Acoustic Carbon feels harder, well thats your opinion, which I won't agree with.

The Acoustic Carbon is a bit head heavy with 2 Tenergy rubbers, but which blade isnt?
However it is less head heavy then a normal acoustic. Its comparable to an ALC or MJ with Tenergys.

I tried griptape from Nittaku on handle and will see if it affects feeling tomorrowevening.
Im not a big fan of tape however.

True. Aint no blade..
I see, it is more balance then..

On what part of the blade are you going to grip tape it?
Hopefully it doesn't alter too much. Kooj forward to hear that.

first  quick test yesterday evening. 

 

...but still Power and enough stiffness. No catapult effect, one gear blade
