Reviews of Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner - Chinese Penhold (6)
Having tested the wood, outer and inner versions of the Acoustic, I can defintely say that the inner is my favourite. It is an incredible blade in every way. It is like a more stable version of the wood blade, with more power when needed. Short game is easy, produces massive spin with good rubbers and has no discernable weaknesses for me. Definitely sticking with this one!!!
iner - great feeling: much better than just carbon - it plays perfectly with rubber andro rasanter r 42 or tibhar evolution mx p or s.
Straight flat cut and sharp flat strokes.(weight 83 g)
Wonderful short game with great control
bust, the worst blade and I paid 130$
I have the Violin Carbon as well. Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner (NAC Inner) has great feeling and control like Violin Carbon. It's a little bit slower and stiffer than the Violin Carbon. NAC Inner is very easy to play with, due to the soft feeling and great control. You only feel the power of the carbon layers when you hit hard. The sweet spot is large and it performs all types of strokes well, but it really shines when it comes to looping. It works well with tacky Chinese rubbers. I recommend hard rubbers on NAC Inner for BH, if you like active blocking and punch shots on your BH. Medium or soft rubbers will make your harder shots go all over the place. Hard rubbers has much better control for NAC Inner on BH. Note that this blade is head-heavy, which I like (but not everyone does). Mine is 87g, which is very light. The handle is a bit thin compared to other blades, but it doesn't really affect me. Finally, the craftsmanship is great for this blade. It has very nice finish. Due to the versatile nature of NAC Inner, I can recommend this blade to anyone from beginner to advanced player. If you don't mind spending some money, this blade is well worth it. Update: After playing with this blade for a few month, I'm convinced that NAC Inner is a solid 9 in terms of speed. I'm not sure why the average rating is only 8.7 for this blade. NAC Inner is clearly faster than Stiga Infinity, but Infinity has average speed rating of 8.7 on this site.
Outstanding feeling. Not stiff like many carbon blades as the carbon is buried deep and really just is noticed on hard hits. So it is not a very fast blade. Same as Acoustic on soft touch, a bit kick on hard hits.
