The Nittaku Goriki Super Cut is built for serious defensive players who want maximum stability, heavy chopping control, and real power when they counterattack.
This blade uses the same 7-ply wood construction as the original Goriki. The heavier blade build gives it a unique feel for defense. It absorbs pace well, helps produce sharp cut balls, and gives choppers the confidence to control heavy incoming attacks.
At the same time, Goriki Super Cut is not only for passive defense. When you step in to attack, the blade has enough mass and rebound to produce a strong smash or counterhit. That makes it a strong fit for modern defenders who use heavy backspin to create openings, then punish loose balls with direct offense.
HIGHLIGHTS...

Playing Style...
Chopping, modern defense, heavy backspin, controlled blocking, counterattacking, and smash follow-ups.
Blade Feel...
Soft, heavy, stable, and controlled with strong mass behind the ball.
Rubber Pairing Advice...
Pair Goriki Super Cut with long pips or defensive rubber on the backhand for chopping, disruption, and spin variation. On the forehand, use a controlled spin rubber or medium offensive rubber if you want reliable counterattacks without making the setup too fast.
Who Should Avoid It...
Players who prefer light blades or quick wristy close-table play may find Goriki Super Cut too heavy. This blade is built for defenders who want stability, mass, and control through the ball.
