After six years, the long barrel evolves further: S4 Niraikanai 4. S4 is a Japanese brand known for original ideas and carefully considered designs. Developed around the concept of a long barrel that is easy to grip, the long-loved Niraikanai series returns with its long-awaited fourth model, about six years after the last. It carries over the strengths of earlier Niraikanai models while updating the length and weight for modern playing styles.
Its key feature is a distinctive outline designed to help you grip in the same position every time, with a shape your fingers settle into naturally for a stable grip position. To make the most of the barrel shape itself, the cuts are kept simple and minimal, aiming for a comfortable fit at the fingertips and a smooth release without relying on excessive bite. Recommended both for long-barrel players and for anyone who wants to try a long barrel.
