Nittaku Miyabi

The Nittaku Miyabi is a premium Japanese table tennis blade crafted from a single layer of Kiso Hinoki wood. This one-ply construction delivers an exceptionally soft and direct touch, combined with medium-fast to high speed, making it an ideal choice for offensive players who prioritize feel and precision. With a thickness of 9 mm and a weight of approximately 85 grams, the Miyabi provides a balanced blend of dwell time and rebound, excelling in topspin and counter-topspin rallies. The soft Hinoki surface absorbs shock and extends ball contact, giving players a high degree of control and the ability to place shots with pinpoint accuracy. The blade's moderate stiffness contributes to a solid base while preserving the woody, responsive feedback. Its 155 x 149 mm head size offers a generous sweet spot, and the factory-applied sealant ensures long-term durability, with recommended resealing every 2–3 rubber changes. The Miyabi is available in flared (FL) and straight (ST) handle shapes to suit different preferences. This blade is best suited for advanced players seeking an alternative to composite blades, valuing the classic, organic feel of Hinoki with modern offensive performance. It pairs well with grippy rubbers to maximize spin and control. The Miyabi's honed craftsmanship and consistent build quality make it a standout choice for those who want a pure, uncomplicated, yet powerful setup.
