Hi, I have used it for a few weeks. It is relatively fast and direct, high control. Good feeling due to being all wood. Only complaints wood be that it feels a bit empty far away from the table as there is no carbon and also the handle is on the small side.

Thanks for your reply. Is it easy to loop with it? Or is it a hard blade? I was thinking of pairing hard rubbers with it like andro rasanter 53 or yasaka rakza z.

Looping is easy but it is a relatively low arc. It is relatively hard but the top two plies are soft so there is good dwell time.

There is new Koki Niwa wood from next month.

Agree that the arc is insanely low which made it really hard to play with at times, and I was using V > 15 extra which doesn't have particularly high arc either. I still think it's an awesome blade but you have to be very thoughtful about what rubbers you're putting on it.

I might have missed something here.
Isn't he retired? Is he still playing in Japan (only)?
