Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner 5.8

The Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner blade has indeed undergone a notable design adjustment where the center core layer was made approximately 0.3mm thicker than previous models. This change was specifically intended to increase the blade’s speed potential while retaining a controlled feel and maintaining balance. By enhancing the core layer’s thickness, Nittaku engineers aimed to provide players with a blade that could generate more power in shots without sacrificing the signature dwell time and “woody” feel valued in the Acoustic series. The thicker core achieves this by slightly stiffening the blade structure, which translates into higher rebound energy upon ball impact. This results in faster ball speeds with less effort, especially beneficial for players who play aggressively or prefer to stay closer to the table. At the same time, the inner carbon layer adds stability and a larger sweet spot, enabling solid performance in topspin and looping shots. This blend makes the Acoustic Carbon Inner 5.8 a popular choice for advanced players who prioritize both speed and touch in their game. Made in Japan.
