The Nittaku Acoustic Carbon Large Handle blade is made with special wood lamination technology originally used in stringed instrument production incorporated with new FE-carbon material. This construction creates a solid feel and even more power. Feel the blade in every part of your hand. Thicker wood produces solid feeling for close-to-table topspin play, away from the table spinny loops, touch control on all aspects and distances from the table. This is the large handle version of the Acoustic Carbon blade. Please note-- the handle is larger but it is still "normal" sized. Large FL: 101 x 24.5 x 33mm Large ST: 101 x 23.5 x 33mm
