Victas Koki Niwa Wood vs Swat Power?

[Robin0910]

Is there any difference?
The plies, weight and thickness are the same.
The niwa is slightly smaller.
Any differences in terms of playing characteristics?

It is the exact same structure apart from the handle, Victas swat power and Koki Niwa wood have a similar small handle, I think it's just the colours that changed.

The old TSP swat power handle is a lot larger and the blade feels more powerful despite being the same composition (this is based off my playing experience with it)

There are 2 versions of TSP Swat FL handle: The regular the slim. Is the handle the only thing which’s not the same? are there any other differences between the 2?

Here's a comparison pic of the two blades, the wood of koki niwa blade seems darker but the thickness and everything else is the same. Also the Koki niwa blade weighed 85g and the Swat Power weighed 86 so a miniscule difference.

Sweet! Is the handle really bigger? I can’t notice the difference with only my eyes

 

[Robin0910]

And have you tried the regular TSP swat by any chance? Is the handle of that the same size?

I always thought the TSP Swat Power was slightly longer, however on close inspection the length of handles is the same, it is just the width of the TSP swat power which is larger.

Heres an old TSP SWAT with a new Victas SWAT, the Victas handle feels the same as the Koki niwa and TSP handle is the same slightly wider larger handle as TSP swat power

Đây là hình ảnh so sánh của hai lưỡi dao, gỗ của lưỡi koki niwa có vẻ tối hơn nhưng độ dày và mọi thứ khác đều giống nhau. Ngoài ra, lưỡi Koki niwa nặng 85g và Swat Power nặng 86 nên có sự khác biệt rất nhỏ.

Very directly to compare. Seem like you are very interested in 7-ply allwood blade

As a fellowship of victas admirers, do you recommend to get Swat Carbon? I want to buy Swat Power, but the local shop here doesn't have it 👋🙂

Have you ever tried any Aramid Carbon blade or ALC blades? Those carbon tends to give catapult effect when hit hard, do you feel it while using The All Wood Kokiniwa or Swat Power? In terms of vibration, are they the same between Koki Wood and SwatPower? Thank you very much for your insightful responses, wish you are doing great bro 👍

i didn't like the swat carbon, it felt really too stiff and hard from what i remember. i preferred the swat + swat power.

id say that the swat power/koki niwa wood plays somewhat like a carbon blade as its quite bouncy + the ball really flies when you hit through the wood.

try to find a koki niwa wood instead of a swat power if you can, its the exact same blade just a different handle design. koki niwa used the tsp swat power for a while when he was competing then victas released his own one.

Witch one of Swat and Swat power is most like the Stiga Clipper Wood?

Is Swat slower then Clipper and Swat power faster or the same ?

ttgearlab.com score them quite similarly. You can check TTgearlab - 7 ply wood. The Victas samples seem to have been a bit heavier than the Stiga samples, so the SWAT scores a bit higher on speed, but with similar weight, my guess is that they will score pretty much the same.
