Nittaku gets this wrong IMHO: their carbon blades are generally heavy but relatively slow without a great sweetspot.
For example, if I had to use a 90g blade, I would much rather play with a 90g Acoustic than a 90g Acoustic carbon (players normally gravitate to carbon for solidity, bigger sweetspot and more power. Well, a 90g all-wood resolves most of this without the compromise in feel or ball arc thst comes with carbon). Perhaps, this is the sane with Violin / Violin Carbon? |

Sounds like you are trying hard to make it work, which is a good thing, it's how we reach a new height . From what described the blade seem to have similar characteristic as the Stiga Offensive Carbon,which I think works best when ream up with medium hard rubber like T05, BF M2, etc...

I enjoy your live blogging :)
I see you _really_ want VC to work for you. Personally, I lost a bit of interest in the blade when you wrote "The divine feel of the all wood Violin is gone". That was a hard hit, though it didn't come unexpected: quite the opposite, it's in line with similar impressions that people got from the Acoustic Carbon Outer. Maybe I should wait a few more years for Nittaku to release Violin Carbon Inner LG (if they ever do), or a 7-ply version of Violin. Or maybe I should simply be happy with Nexy Arche, which is the blade that comes closest so far to a slightly stiffer and faster Violin. It doesn't have the same feeling or the same perfect handle, but somehow something just clicked when I played with it first, and I'm going back to it again and again after having tried other blades. |

No way: it's composite, it's Butterfly, it's expensive, and I don't like the idea of playing a blade named after someone because I'm still working towards having a blade named after me :o) Seriously, I've got a gorgeous handmade blade that is built to be an improved Violin that I've played again and again over the last months, wanting to like it at all costs. The feeling is solid and inspires confidence, the control is great, the handle is close to perfect, just... it's a tad more head heavy than I like, and the feeling is more muted. In summary, it's closer to an Acoustic rather than Violin. This is why, each time after a training session I'm convinced that I can keep it as my main blade, if I play one last set with Arche or Violin, the magic is gone again and I know it's time to sell it. |

If only it had the large handle and flared, I'd be all over it, like white on rice!

After initially really struggling with this blade (basically finding it amazing at looping from mid distance, but very unpredicatable for everything else), I have changed to lighter rubbers (Stiga Mantra S and Nexy Karis M in 2.0) and added a grip tape. The total weight is now 182g.
This has really transformed how it plays, it is now much better balanced, which seems to have sorted out the issues I was having and it now plays much more like how I imagined when I bought it. I now have a dilemma, do stick with it, knowing that I am probably going to be limited to lighter rubbers in the future or look to sell or trade it whilst it is still like new? With the current trend for thinner topsheets, I think I might be OK

This post of mine was from 9/9/17. It seems I was right (or just lucky): Violin Inner Carbon was released in September 2018: Anyone had a chance to test it? Edited by arg0 - 10/07/2019 at 8:22pm |

After the normal (aka small handle) is released it usually takes at least 2 years until they release the LG handle version. For a premium price you can ask for a Nittaku custom blade on iruiru. Or you can ask someone who knows how to do it to change the handle.
