Nittaku Kasumi Basic OFF- is a classic 5-ply all-wood blade developed in collaboration with Japanese table tennis star Kasumi Ishikawa. Designed to provide an excellent balance between offense and control, it is an ideal choice for players looking to improve their technique while maintaining confidence in every shot. With a 5.8 mm thickness, an approximate weight of 85 g, and a medium feel, the blade delivers natural wood feedback, reliable stability, and outstanding control. The blade measures 156 × 152 mm and is manufactured in China under Nittaku’s quality standards.
The Kasumi Basic is built for balanced offensive and all-round play. Its five-ply wooden construction provides extended dwell time, making spin generation easier while ensuring accurate ball placement for topspin attacks, blocking, and counter-hitting. The medium speed and forgiving character make it easier to refine technique than faster composite blades, making it an excellent option for developing players as well as experienced players who prioritize consistency and control
