I thought that a blade made in Japan and specifically by nittaku was supposed to be high quality error free and unquestionable performance. What happened? The blade played like crap so i measured it and showed 157x150 instead 156x149. So i said what the hell it is not a donic or stiga or dhs! It is holy grail nittaku. So i decided to make the handle bigger to suits the heavy head.so i prepared a timo boll fl handle and decided to change it. To my big suprise it was not even. It was like the picture showed unprofessional and disgusting. How can i play a full stroke and having confidence that the ball would go exactly where i want.i felt down and frustrated.
One thing i like to add: butterfly should charge a 1000 usd for a timo boll or mizutani for their error free unbelievable quality control, each blade they make are pure perfection. Sorry butterfly that i once said that a viscaria at 165 usd is a rip off. You really don't have any competition out there. Hat down.

The router guy was glancing at the pretty girl who happened to walk by at the time, he handled it poorly Confused.

"nzoiiing!"

... 

"oops...oh well, they won't know."

Seriously, I am confident Nittaku will replace the blade, I am almost 100% sure of it. Did you contact them? Maybe you could edit your post where you compare with other brands.

Sorry I don't care replacing it or having my money back. I earn a lot, it is not the issue. The issue is, there are poor guys out there who spend a lot for something special and they are not getting it and I thought they should know how to buy and don't let there year of sweat and practice be ruined by a bad blade as I believe that a bad blade would make you lose confidence and make you loose matches no matter what and how much good you are.

It doesn't sound like you want to solve a problem, but create one.  If they made a bad blade I would think they would replace it.  You seem to want to damage their reputation because of one bad blade.  If getting a bad blade makes you as angry as your posts indicate, you must have other issues.

Are there any blades where the handle isn't hollowed out like this?  I use Acoustic carbon which I assume is the same as this (I'm not going to take one of mine apart), and I'm very happy with them.  But it would be interesting to feel a blade that is head-light, not just evenly balanced.

How many blades, besides your own, have you found with this flaw?

It is not the hollow handle that is wrong but the dispoportion in the cut of the empty hollow and the head dicrepencies between the catalogue and the one I got.

If you look closely, the left side has an asymmetric extra bit of wood compared to the right.  That is what he is complaining about.  It isn't clearly by design.

They must use a vacuum plate to hold the blades and it probably moved when routing the hole for the handle. No reason to scrap the blade when the issue isnt cosmetic since its under the handle and doest effect performance. As for the size being off 1mm. I believe the "instrument " line of blades have more hand finishing so less than 1% tolerance from spec is surely within limits for the  O.D. of the blade. Sorry you are not happy with your Violin.

I have two Nittaku Violin Carbon blades, one which I purchased when it was first released and one which I got more recently.
The older one measures exactly 150 x 156mm and the newer one 150.3 x 156mm.
This seems an acceptable difference and when you consider that the most common blade size is 150x157, it makes sense that they err on the side of making them slightly bigger rather than smaller.

The misaligned cut in the handle is obviously not acceptable and should not have got through quality control, but once the handle is attached it would have made it almost impossible to detect.

Yes the head size is bigger by 1mm x1mm. But the handle that is the component that drives all the balance at high speed and the feeling of the blade is done wrong. This is a violin carbon inner by the way.

1mm is too much, computer controlled tools work at sub milimeter precision but I got a nittaku blade some years ago with missaligned badge..people claim that tt gear made for japanese market has better quality but is not true

Guys, if you pay a big premium for a handmade blade it will have imperfections. Get over it


Posted By: qpskfec
Date Posted: 01/26/2020 at 4:11pm
CNC machines are capable of sub 1mm cuts, but that doesn't mean that a tt mfr has a CNC machine capable of making those cuts. Maybe they have a very accurate machine but choose to make cuts at a lower level of tolerance. More accuracy costs more $$$. The mfr factors the cost of operations versus what accuracy is actually needed.

They are cutting wood. Wood is a porous material that expands and contracts with humidity. Wood from one part of a tree will have slightly different properties from another part of the tree.

Add factors like these together and you will get some measure of manufacturing tolerance. Blade weights are +/- 3-4%. A sub 1% dimensional tolerance sounds reasonable for a wood tt paddle.

For comparison, if you go buy a new $500 golf driver, just about every mfr quotes a +/- 1 degree tolerance in loft/lie/face angle. If you buy a 9 degree driver, it means the club you are buying has loft of 8-10 degrees.

Given the prices they charge this is awful.  This goes beyond imperfections.  It suggests there is zero QC.

I have three acoustic carbons.  One I bought new from TT11 and two used here from different sellers. With my rubbers on they all weigh 173 gms.  And I didn't specify weights obviously since buying used.  So with my very limited data set Nittaku QC seems pretty damn good.

That is because osp CNC mill their blade. I don't really care about hand made and prefer perfect CNC but hand made items are never identical. Humans just don't work like that


Posted By: haggisv
Date Posted: 01/26/2020 at 10:38pm
Looks to me like the blade wasn't clamped properly when the cut was made, and it moved during cutting. Although I doubt it would affect play significantly, I agree it should have been rejected.
As other have suggested, the handle pieces might have been attached before an inspection was done, making it impossible to see.
Nittaku has always had a good reputation, and I think they would care about issues like this and will try to resolve it, so personally i would try and contact them, or get the get the supplier to contact them.

Yes all your posts are relevant, but why we don't see these discrepancies in a butterfly blade for example. I can understand a low quality manufacturers and cheap blades making mistakes. But this is nittaku high end blades the string instruments material that cost 4 time more any competition.

You have a sample of one bad Nittaku - even though you posted three pictures of that one sample.  You need more samples in order to generalize about Nittaku quality.  Maybe others can report their blade dimensions and a better conclusion can be derived.  Also, does Nittaku publish any technical specs?  I was unable to find anything that suggested what the expected tolerances should be.

If it were my blade and I was concerned, I'd email Nittaku explaining my concerns.

When Nittaku started selling re-labeled DHS 40+ non-celluloid balls under the Nittaku brand  I did just that. I sent an email to them explaining how the good Nittaku shouldn't be put on such crappy balls.  Their response was a very "corporate", "thank you for you concern/interest", email. Their reputation went down a notch with me after that.  OTOH, they did some really nice work finally creating their own ball.  So I wouldn't throw them under the bus without first giving them a chance to explain.

I wasn't 100% sure that they were DHS, but considering the limited number of cell free 40+ ball manufacturers in existence and that Nittaku clearly labelled them as being made in China and considering how they played and broke, it was a good bet.  But it really doesn't matter if they were made by DHS or not.  What mattered was that they were crap compared to Nittaku celluloid balls.

Some were.  But they also sold balls that clearly stated "Made in Japan" that were not the same as the DHS-made ones (and they were better).  Nittaku has long had some business relationships with DHS, to this day.  I guess they don't have enough production capacity to meet demand if they rely just on their Japanese facilities.  Like wturber says, though, it sucks that they put their name on inferior stuff.  In only buy their stuff that is made in Japan.  Makes me wonder about the OP's blade though.

Putting this post surely got the attention of nittaku, and I think from now they will handle every blade carefully especially the string instrument blades. We got to wait for the new batch to come out in order to buy again from nittaku.

It almost leads me to believe they air dry all their stuff instead of kiln dry.

The weight difference is not a good sign. Especially on carbon blades. For wood only it may be justified on a +- 5 grams. But for carbon it is +-3 grams max.

I once dropped a regular Violin (ST LG grip, no carbon) and one handle piece fell off. The handle piece was hollow, but the blade was continuous and had no cut-out.

I guess Nittaku made the choice to shave weight off the handle to compensate the additional weight brought with the carbon plies. 

Favoring head heavier in a time when rubbers are getting heavier too? mmmhhh... 

I never liked the carbon series of the acoustic/violin, those are for the committed looper going broke on everything, just not me.

I own a Nittaku Acoustic Carbon for some years now. I expected it to be a very exceptional good feeling, well performing blade being a Nittaku and a legendary Acoustic at that. But I felt like there was nothing particularly special about the blade. I have several blades, Adidas, Tibhar, Joola, Donic, Nexy design but there was nothing special that would make me prefer my Acoustic Carbon over the others. As time passed I drifted to using my other blades and stuck with my favorite the Joola Rossi Emotion.

Now Mickael's post on Nittaku. This makes me wonder, do I own a fake Nittaku? I bought it second hand from a reliable player, in its original box and there was nothing in the build quality of the blade that will make me suspect it was a fake. The only thing is that, it was not particularly impressive over all my other blades. How do I know its not a fake?
