Nittaku Adelie vs Ludeack? With Med/Soft Rubbers

[illumind]

Hi all,

As both blades are the same composition (correct me if wrong) I can't figure out what their major difference is, other than the Ludeack being 0.3 thicker and a touch heavier. I can't understand how Nittaku claims the Adelie is faster, when it's lighter and thinner (also +$30). If anyone's had any experience with either/both my questions would be..

Which might play best with say (Med/soft) R42/XVE rubbers?
&
Which is actually faster, and would play between Acoustic and Tibhar SPW in terms of speed and higher throw/arc possibility?

Any ideas much appreciated.

I would expect the spw to have a little bit higher of an arc but you are comparing 2 7 ply blades with 2 5 ply blades so they are kinda different.

If you had just ordered, you can still cancel your order and wait for more reviews...

I'd presume you had done enough research prior to the purchase though. I can't imagine Nittaku producing any products with poor quality.

It arrived, and it's very well crafted. Was yours purchased from an authorised reseller, and did you raise any issues with them? I'm happy to post the photos of mine here to compare? It's of the same quality, or higher, than the Tenor and Acoustic I've played with.

Hi, I am new to the forum. Amateur with many years of playing. I have played with Adelie, Clipper CR WRB , but not Ludeack. Quality of Adelie is excellent. It's softer than Clipper and thus a little faster on slow and medium speeds. It seems Clipper catches up on harder shots. Both blades with commercial Battle 2 on FH and AK-47 red on BH. Not sure if helps, since can't compare to Ludeack...

mine was damaged, and the top limba was very easy to going off from rubbers, so quality is not the same
