Pros
  • Fast
  • Accurate
Good looking design.

Hard and stiff blade with lots of power and speed, close to the table and far from the table.
I have previously used DHS 506, Donic True Carbon, Waldner world champion 89, and Xiom Zetro Quad.

Victas Koki Niwa plays very well with the ABS balls, providing speed, power, and stability to the shots. The stiffness of the blade helps a lot when countering topspin.

Close to the table, Koki Niwa blade plays like True Carbon, crisp feeling and still controllable. When playing far from the table True Carbon requires more power to play a quality loop. On the other hand, Koki Niwa keeps pumping more power with its thinner layers structure.
The power of Koki Niwa(5.7mm) can be matched with Waldner 89 (7mm) and Zetro Quad (7mm) which thicker layers structure, and ball placement also close the bottom line, which make it harder for your opponents to return your loops.

PS: I paired Koki Niwa with Jupiter 2 FH and Vega Asia DF BH.​

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Faster than H3
Very cheap but good rubber from Yinhe.
Slightly tacky, and durable rubber for forehand.
Only suitable for new plastic balls, old balls will go to the net.
Beginner should try 39 degree, and 40 degree will be prefect for person who can perform proper stroke.
