Champion Pro Special paddle for Japan's MIMA ITO, currently playing with the Nittaku Mima Ito Carbon blade (flared handle), assembled with black Nittaku Fastarc G-1 (2.0) and red Nittaku Moristo SP rubber (max sponge).
THE BLADE: The Nittaku Mima Ito Carbon blade - released on her 20th birthday - is the model of Acoustic Carbon blade that Mima Ito has been using for many years. Achieves higher speed performance by sandwiching FE carbon - which is acoustic, supple and stable - near the surface plate. Brings out the various attack powers of the stroke. The grip color was designed by Mima Ito herself, and is unique to this blade.
BLACK RUBBER: The Nittaku Fastarc G-1 rubber is "Fast" with an "Arc"! A power topsheet with a built-in tension power sponge produces the ideal combination of ball speed and ball arc - an outstanding powerful spin ball. G-1 means "Grip First" and S-1 means "Speed First". Choose Fastarc G-1 for more spin with great power.
RED RUBBER: Nittaku Moristo SP is the fantastic rubber that pips-out players have been waiting for! Now the high-tension performance qualities of the smooth Moristo rubbers are available in short pips. Super-elasticity enables swift attack and amazing block.
