Nittaku Goriki Danshi

This blade excels in control and speed. It offers a wide range of gears and, due to its exceptional balance, it does not feel excessively heavy.

It pairs well with long pips on the backhand, while ox may not be the ideal choice. On the forehand, a quick, sticky rubber produces excellent results.

Despite its high price point, this blade’s quality and versatility make it a worthwhile investment, eliminating the need to experiment with other blades.

A fabulous blade. Designed for attackers, though when used in a chopping style, its stability is also very high.

Good design, good quality, for sure not a cheap item.

At first, the Goriki Danshi did not become my new blade. But that doesn’t mean this blade isn’t good. It’s excellent indeed for a player with long pimples on the backhand, but I have decided to switch to shorter pimples on the backhand and need therefore a more stiff and faster blade, so I have ordered a Nittaku Goriki Super Drive. But back to Danshi, it is excellent to play for Topspins. I had combined it with Hurricane Pro 3 Turbo Blue 2.0 mm black. Lots of spin, great feeling at service return, very controlled at blocking. Smash isn’t the greatest force of this blade because it’s not very fast. I would rate it as an excellent All+/OFF- Blade. With long pimples on the backhand (I played with Grass D.TecS 1.6 mm), you have good control, especially at blocking, plus ensuring counter-attacking. Together with the unique feeling, it’s a great blade for offensive long-pimple players! Quality is extremely high! Excuse me for my bad English!

I use Goriki Kaisoku for the forehand. However, it is too powerful for me to control. Maybe I should change to another rubber. But for the backhand (I use Super DO Knuckle), it is very easy to block and also to attack. All in all, this is a good blade for me.

Solid and quality blade. The wood transmits everything that you put into the game. I recommend it to advanced level players.
