nittaku large Dratsuka and advanced carbon

[abs]

Hi everyone! Has anyone tried either of these two blades? They are quite thin, with a very stiff carbon layer (ADC carbon) and a relatively low speed rating. I consider these two as perfect-for-spin blades, especially for hard, low-throw hybrid rubbers.

Has anyone had any experience with a similar combination — for example, a Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Inner with 50+ rubbers, or an Innerforce ALC.S? Personally, I haven’t tried any outer blade with a low OFF or OFF- rating, but something like the Timo Boll ZLF might suit my style. My playing style focuses on spin variation and precise placement.

I'm also interested in the Nittaku Advance Carbon. Unfortunately almost no reviews available. How does it compare to other Nittaku models, like Acoustic Carbon G-Revision (outer) and Gyo-En.

Whats kind of wood is the top layer made of, koto?
How does it compare to a Viscaria?

I've just buy Nittaku Advance Carbon and already try it for 2 hours.
Pros:
- really good price for quality
- many gears, for short push and touch it go short, but when u go fast it go fast as off+ blades
Cons
- short dwelling time

Hi thanks for sharing your experience. Can i ask what rubbers did you use? And what about the sweet spot, is large or highly damped on edges?

FH: victas v15 sticky
BH: victas v22
sweet spot is large due to hardness but i don't like this blade due to super short dwell time may be need softer rubber

Maybe large dratsuka with a softer feeling and lower speed rating would be a better choice for you (according to nittaku ratings).
