Nittaku Violoncello

The Nittaku Violoncello is a premium 5-ply defensive blade from the renowned Acoustic series, crafted in Japan using the same select woods found in high-quality stringed instruments. Designed specifically for the modern defensive player, it offers an exceptionally soft touch and outstanding control, making it one of the slowest blades in the Acoustic lineup. The thin 5.3mm profile and larger 164x154mm head size promote excellent dwell time and a large sweet spot for consistent chop returns and precise placement. Weighing approximately 92 grams, it provides solid stability without being overly heavy, allowing for effortless wrist action on defensive strokes. The blade is optimized for long-range play, generating high levels of backspin on chops while retaining enough speed for occasional counter-attacks. Its all-wood construction yields a woody, vibration-rich feedback that enhances feel and touch on every shot. The factory-applied sealant ensures easy rubber changes and protects the surface. The Violoncello is ideal for classic defenders, choppers, and any player prioritizing control and consistency over raw power. Available in straight and flared handle styles, it caters to a variety of grip preferences.
