Customer review for Nittaku Miyabi

External Review for Nittaku Miyabi on December 4, 2024

Liked to try hinoki due to the promissing reviews - and: yes, it is fabulous. The touch is soft with much control within the short game as well as from mid distance. The blade delivers sufficient power for counterattacs even far from the table. There are almost no vibrations due to the stiffness. I like to play with tacky chinese rubbers so the short game is a piece of cake - just put the ball low directly behind the net with a lot of spin. You can also put it long with delicate underspin or flip with much spin accurately where you want to place the ball. Speed is Off-, there are faster blades on the market. When blocking passively and taking out energy you may even get the ball as short as with allround blades. Looping makes fun whithin openings to underspin, and even far away from the table due to the weight you may produce dangerous counter topspins. Love this blade, but with chinese rubbers it may get heavy. The size is smaller so that it does not become too heavy (mine is at 205 g with yinhe apollo v).
I was surprised to have to work on the edges of the wood, since they were sharp. The grip is fine.
