Acoustic Carbon Inner G-Revision

Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner G-Revision is considered a solid offensive blade. The inner FE Carbon layers provide a noticeable speed boost over traditional wood blades, placing it firmly in the OFF category. Our testing shows it delivers good pace on hard hits, often feeling about 10% faster than popular all-wood OFF blades. It's not as explosively fast as outer carbon designs, but offers a very balanced and usable speed for aggressive play.

Control is a standout feature of this blade. The inner carbon placement, combined with Nittaku's wood lamination, creates excellent ball retention and a secure, connected feel even during powerful shots. This makes it highly responsive for close-to-the-table play, chops, and maintaining consistency. The increased dwell time allows for greater spin generation and precise placement, giving players confidence in their touch shots.

The blade offers a unique feel that blends the classic woody sensation of the Acoustic series with the added crispness of carbon. The inner carbon layers provide a solid, medium-hard feel with a generous sweet spot, while retaining enough flexibility and dwell time to maintain a connected, sensitive touch on the ball.

The blade produces a medium to medium-high throw angle, which is excellent for aggressive topspin shots. This trajectory allows for good arc over the net and effective ball placement, especially when paired with modern rubbers. It provides a slightly lower arc than some pure wood blades but remains ideal for dynamic looping play.

The inner carbon construction, coupled with the wood layers, provides ample dwell time. This extended ball contact is crucial for generating heavy spin and allows players more time to feel the ball, contributing significantly to its high control rating. It's well-suited for aggressive topspin play where brush contact is key.

This blade sits in a medium range of flexibility. The combination of wood and inner carbon provides enough stiffness for solid power transfer on hard hits, while retaining sufficient flex for controlled, spin-based shots. It's neither overly stiff like some outer carbon blades nor as elastic as its pure wood counterparts.

While it contains carbon, the inner placement and wood construction effectively dampen vibrations, contributing to a controlled feel and large sweet spot. Players report a pleasant, resonant feedback that provides useful information without being harsh or jarring, a characteristic of Nittaku's 'Instrument' series lineage.

Nittaku is renowned for exceptional manufacturing quality, and the Acoustic Carbon Inner G-Revision exemplifies this. Built in Japan with meticulous attention to detail, it features high-grade wood and carbon materials, ensuring durability and a premium finish. Players consistently praise its flawless construction and refined feel, noting it as a benchmark for build quality in its class.
