Flyatt Carbon Pro
Nittaku Flyatt Carbon Pro is a performance blade built for attacking players who demand speed and spin. Its 5-ply wood core is reinforced with two layers of Kevlar Carbon, creating a fast, hard playing surface with a distinct 'clack' on impact. This design delivers a strong balance of power and control, making it a potent weapon for spin-oriented offensive strategies. The slightly thinner profile compared to its predecessor enhances feel and precision, offering a direct response ideal for powerful drives and aggressive topspin play.
The blade features a 5-ply wood core construction augmented by two strategically placed Kevlar Carbon layers. This combination aims to deliver a fast, hard feel with enhanced power and spin capabilities, while the Kevlar Carbon aims to offer a better feel than traditional carbon.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Flyatt Carbon Pro is consistently rated as a fast blade. Its hybrid construction with Kevlar Carbon generates significant speed, making it suitable for aggressive offensive play. This speed allows for powerful shots and quick attacks, providing a strong foundation for an attacking game.
For a fast blade, Flyatt Carbon Pro offers a respectable level of control. Our testing shows it provides enough control for spin-oriented attacking games. The Kevlar Carbon layers contribute to a better feel, aiding in precise spin shots and maintaining stability during offensive exchanges.
Flyatt Carbon Pro delivers a hard, direct feel. Players report a noticeable 'clack' sound on impact, indicative of its stiff nature. This characteristic provides a crisp response suitable for aggressive topspin and powerful attacking shots.
Given its speed and hard characteristics, Flyatt Carbon Pro produces a medium-high throw angle. This is conducive to offensive play, allowing the ball to clear the net with a sufficient arc for attacking shots, especially when combined with spin-oriented rubbers.
The blade's hard nature and emphasis on speed result in a medium dwell time. It facilitates quick ball contact for powerful shots but doesn't offer the extended grip ideal for maximum spin generation solely from the blade. Pairing it with grippy rubbers is recommended for heavy spin.
Flyatt Carbon Pro is a stiff blade with low flexibility. This characteristic is beneficial for generating direct power and crisp ball contact during offensive strokes, but it reduces the blade's ability to flex and absorb energy, which can affect control on softer touch shots.
Vibration is moderate with this blade. The Kevlar Carbon layers help dampen some vibration compared to standard carbon, providing a more direct feel without excessive harshness. Some players note vibration is noticeable when blocking very fast balls.
Flyatt Carbon Pro is regarded as a well-built blade with good quality for its price point. It features a balanced construction and includes a special wooden edge guard for added protection and durability. The combination of materials results in a solid, reliable feel that appeals to players seeking dependable equipment.
Technology
Nittaku Flyatt Carbon Pro utilizes a hybrid construction of five wood layers combined with two layers of Kevlar Carbon. This specific layering is engineered to enhance speed and power, with the Kevlar Carbon intended to provide a more refined feel and better vibration dampening compared to standard carbon fiber. The outer layers use harder wood for increased pace, while the inner plies and core contribute to structural integrity and overall sensation. The blade also features a protective wooden edge guard to improve durability during intense play.
Similar Blades
Nittaku Flyatt Carbon
Nittaku Flyatt Carbon is the predecessor to the Flyatt Carbon Pro. While both are hybrid blades with carbon layers, the Pro version is slightly thinner and offers more feel for spin shots. The regular Flyatt Carbon is noted as being slightly thicker, leading to more direct ball contact.
Nittaku Acoustic Carbon
Nittaku Acoustic Carbon is a popular inner fiber blade based on the all-wood Acoustic, designed to offer more power while retaining a woody feel. Flyatt Carbon Pro, being an outer carbon blade, offers different characteristics—it's likely faster and stiffer with a more direct feel compared to the Acoustic Carbon's emphasis on spin and touch.
