New: Nittaku Blastac – The rubber that’s incredibly forgiving.
The New 2026 rubber
The BLASTAC is the ideal rubber if you find many modern offensive rubbers too fast or too demanding. It's very easy to control and makes your offensive play easier and more reliable.
In short: The Nittaku Blastac is ideal if you want to play offensively but don't want to sacrifice reliability, ball feel, and error tolerance.
As an offensive rubber with a medium-hard sponge, it is particularly well-suited for players who want to make their attacking game more reliable, versatile, and easier to control.
With the BLASTAC, the focus is clearly on highly controlled, precise, and consistent shots.
A rubber that offers great control for a confident offensive game
Not every offensive rubber has to be uncompromisingly hard, direct, and as fast as possible. The Nittaku Blastac takes a different approach: It offers you enough speed for an active attacking style while remaining easy to control.
This controlled feel really comes in handy during longer rallies. You can guide the ball cleanly, place it accurately, and remain steady even under pressure. That’s what makes the Blastac particularly appealing to club players who want to make their game not only faster but, above all, more consistent.
Medium-hard sponge, crisp ball contact
The medium-hard sponge, with a hardness rating of 45°, allows the ball to sink noticeably into the sponge. This creates a pleasant feel when making contact with the ball, giving you more control and confidence during topspins, opening shots, and counter-attacks.
The grippy top rubber helps you generate spin easily. This means you don’t always have to use your full body to return the ball to the table with a lot of spin. Players who don’t have extreme hitting power or who want to further stabilize their technique will benefit greatly from this rubber.
Blastac - A good mix of spin, speed, and error tolerance
The Nittaku Blastac is not a rubber designed solely for maximum top speed. Its strength lies more in its balanced combination of control, ball feel, and offensive playability.
With proper technique, you'll have enough speed for topspins, aggressive counterattacks, and powerful shots. At the same time, the rubber is forgiving enough that you won't immediately lose your confidence at the slightest mistake. That's exactly what makes it so appealing to many table tennis players: You can play actively without constantly feeling like you have to hit the ball 100% perfectly. The Blastac is quite forgiving of minor mistakes.
Who is the Nittaku Blastac suitable for?
The Nittaku Blastac is particularly well-suited for all-around and offensive players who want to build their attacking game with greater confidence. If you like to open with topspin, place the ball with precision, and want to remain consistent in your blocking and counterplay, this rubber is a very exciting option.
The Blastac also performs well on the backhand. The soft sponge, the solid feel for the ball, and the high level of control help with active blocks, backhand topspins, and quick wrist shots.
Players with an extremely offensive style who are looking for maximum power and extremely high spin potential will likely opt for harder rubbers. The Blastac excels when it comes to reliable offense, high control, and good ball feel.
Here's how the Blastac helps you in the game
The Nittaku Blastac can be especially helpful if you want to add more confidence to your offensive game. The long ball contact time makes it easier to control the ball, which can provide noticeable support when playing topspin openings against backspin, well-placed attacking shots, and steady rallies.
The Blastac also makes it easier for players with a slightly shorter arm swing or less explosive movement to generate speed and spin. The rubber works in a supportive manner, so to speak, without ever feeling uncontrolled.
Conclusion – Nittaku Blastac
The Nittaku Blastac isn't a rock-hard, no-compromise rubber designed for maximum hardness, maximum spin, and maximum power. Its strength lies elsewhere: it makes offensive table tennis easier to play.
If you're looking for a rubber that offers great feel, good control, easily generated spin, and enough speed for an active style of play, the Blastac is a great fit. If, on the other hand, you prefer a very hard rubber with extremely low catapult or maximum topspin power, it will probably be too soft for you.
