Frequently asked
Is the Nittaku Moristo DF good for beginners?
Not quite. The Nittaku Moristo DF is aimed at intermediate players. Beginners may find it harder to control than entry-level gear, but players with some experience will get more out of it.
What thickness should I choose for the Nittaku Moristo DF?
The thinnest option (OXmm) is recommended for beginners. Thicker sheets (up to 1.5) add power but reduce control and feel. Thinner sheets like OXmm suit players prioritising consistency over speed.
