Large Spear

Large Spear is renowned for its exceptional speed, excelling in fast drives and powerful smashes. The Kevlar layers provide significant stiffness and repulsion, catapulting the ball forward with authority. This makes it a potent tool for quick attacks and a strong finishing game, especially from mid-distance. It's squarely in the fast offensive category, demanding an active, attacking style to harness its full potential.

For a blade with this much speed, Large Spear maintains a respectable level of control. The soft Hinoki outer plies contribute better ball feedback and a forgiving touch, aiding in placement and short game. While beginners may find its pace challenging, intermediate to advanced offensive players generally find the control sufficient, allowing for precise shot-making within an aggressive framework.

Large Spear delivers a medium-hard feel, blending the softness of Hinoki with the firmness of Kevlar. This provides solid, clear feedback on impact without being overly dampened. Players can feel the ball well, allowing for precise adjustments during aggressive rallies.

The blade produces a medium-high throw angle, excellent for aggressive topspin play. This facilitates high-arching loops that are difficult for opponents to handle, complementing its speed for a potent offensive combination.

Dwell time is moderate. The wood-Kevlar composite provides enough time on the ball to impart significant spin, especially on loops and serves, while still prioritizing a fast rebound characteristic of offensive play.

This is a relatively stiff blade. The Kevlar integration minimizes flex, which directly contributes to its high speed and powerful, linear trajectory. It's designed for players who want to drive through the ball with maximum stability.

Vibration is moderate. The Kevlar layers stiffen the blade, reducing excessive buzz and providing a more direct, focused feel. Some feedback remains, contributing to its responsiveness, but it's not harsh or overwhelming.

Manufactured in Japan, Large Spear exemplifies Nittaku's reputation for excellent craftsmanship. The build quality is top-tier, ensuring durability and consistent performance across the blade. The materials are premium, contributing to both its high-end feel and reliable on-table behavior, making it a blade you can trust match after match.
