Nittaku Acoustic Carbon G-Revision

This blade should be more well-known, the reviews that have been done are truly few and there is only material available in Japanese. The sound it produces is very pleasant and the vibration in the hand is very enjoyable, this aspect provides the much-mentioned control when hitting the ball, the G adjustment makes the hand fit better and the grip is very comfortable, especially when switching from forehand to backhand. I don’t have an inner carbon to compare but everyone agrees that the control in both is very similar, only that in this model a little control is sacrificed for speed due to the external carbon layer, but it is not very noticeable, at least for me, at an intermediate level. The size of the handle is just right for my hand, I chose the Flare, so the adjustment they made to it makes it easy for me to quickly switch from the serving grip to the normal grip to start the attack of three balls. The finish is very good, only I noticed stains on the seal of the central wood, but looking closely it corresponds to the nature of the Thong wood, so it gives it a very nice rustic touch without compromising the quality. I would recommend this blade for intermediate and advanced level players to combine it with good rubbers, be careful I read opinions that it is not good to combine it with rubbers that have carbon in their sponge because it takes away all the control that the wood gives you and the ball goes flying. I am assembling it with a Fastarc G1 rubber to complement it very well on the FH.

I have been playing with the Acoustic Carbon since 2018 and thought I would try the revision. After a couple of months, I really don’t notice any difference in play. The handle shape is comfortable but not a big deal. I didn’t need to sand the wings to take the sharp edges off, so that was a plus.
