My daughter is 1600-1700 and wants a good offensive blade with a thin handle. I’m pretty sure some Nittaku blades have thin handles. Any recommendations?

BTY Kenta is Viscaria/TB ALC with a thinner handle
Nittaku Acoustic Yinhe W1, W6 (least expensive option) I had BBC Charlie and Ross Leidy make me blades with thinner handles. This is the best option if you know what you want. |

Nexy Calix/Calix II and Qabod have relatively thin handles - at least as compared to something like a typical Viscaria.

BTY blade spec shows Viscaria and lots of renamed ALC blades like Kenta as identical in properties. https://cdn.megaspin.net/download/butterfly/blade-specifications.pdf?v=2 |

The Cofferlait (ALC with hinoki top) is the Butterfly blade that presents the thinnest handle to me but it's so old. jpenmaster can tell you if the Kenta has such a thin handle. btw he says there it has koto outer so yes, it's a viscaria variant.

yes they have! The purpose is apparently to facilitate a loose grip which is better for spin production.

Funny you should say that ... I was just talking about thin handles with a friend (who's also a part-time coach), and he said the exact same thing...

To all,
Thanks for feedback. One of the players at our club had a used TB ALC that he didn't use anymore so I bought it from him for my daughter. I hit with it, and the handle is thinner and the blade has a good feel with plenty of speed. I can see why many players like it. Side note: after I glued a used sheet on for her to try it out, then replaced that sheet it was very hard to remove the rubber. It seems like the blade is not sealed, so I applied a blade sealant that Joola sells.

TSP (now Victas) Award Offensive Reflex 50. Very small handle (23mm wide in ST). Also light ~77-80g), so your daughter may like the weight. Some pros have used it.
