Acoustic Carbon Inner

Acoustic Carbon Inner is a fast blade, operating in the mid-fast to fast range. It features noticeable gears, providing a significant power boost on full swings. While it doesn't match the raw explosiveness of some outer carbon designs, it delivers ample speed for all offensive play and dynamic attacks, feeling very direct and responsive.

Control is a major strength of this blade. The inner carbon construction and wood plies create exceptional ball retention and a predictable, linear trajectory, allowing for precise placement. Even when engaging the carbon layers for power, control remains outstanding, making it suitable for a wide variety of playing styles and techniques.

The inner carbon placement yields a softer, more natural feel compared to outer carbon blades. Players experience a sensitive, woody touch for delicate shots, complemented by a solid, crisp impact on powerful drives—a harmonious blend of feedback and comfort.

It produces a medium-high throw angle, which is ideal for aggressive topspin play. This arc helps the ball clear the net comfortably while allowing for heavy, penetrating loops and attacks.

Dwell time is notably long, thanks to the wood plies and inner carbon design. This extended contact allows players to load the ball with heavy spin during serves, loops, and counter-topspin rallies, significantly enhancing offensive capability.

The blade offers a moderate, well-balanced flexibility. It sits between the stiff punch of pure carbon and the pliable bend of all-wood, aiding spin generation and dwell while the carbon provides underlying stability for powerful, direct shots.

Vibration is pleasantly moderate. The inner construction and wood plies effectively mute harsh frequencies, providing clear, useful feedback without the jarring sensation sometimes found in stiffer carbon blades, which aids in feel and control.

Crafted in Japan, the Acoustic Carbon Inner exemplifies Nittaku's renowned manufacturing standards. It uses premium woods and FE Carbon with meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in a durable, consistent, and aesthetically pleasing blade. The application of String Instrument Manufacturing Technology underscores the exceptional attention to detail in its construction.
