I am a relatively high level player (recently returned from few year break, used to be roughly top 50 in England for my age) and I am looking to get a new blade and rubbers. I play left handed close to medium distance counter attacking. I like to have good control as well as speed and want to be able to counter, flick, push, loop, block and punch. My current blade is a joola rosskopf emotion (the old one) and I am looking for something a bit harder and faster (with good control). My preference would be something medium hard and medium stiff. I have been looking at the koki niwa wood because I think my style is a bit like koki niwa (and he is one of my favourites to watch). Would this be a good choice and are there any other suggestions that might be good for me?
