    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite being an outer carbon racket, it excels at ball control and landing on the table. The combination with sticky rubber shows excellent ratings, and the racket offers a wide range of adjustability depending on playing style.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Excellent compatibility with slightly sticky rubber
    • Good control despite outer carbon's inherent speed
    • Easy counter and blocking techniques
    • Smash power increases with hard rubber
    • Performance varies greatly by skill level and setup
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveWhen paired with slightly sticky tension rubber, it becomes very easy to handle. It naturally keeps the ball on the table with the racket's own power, and it's the first outer racket that stays in control even with strong shots.
    ▽ CriticalAdvanced player racket that's difficult to handle. With standard tension rubber like V15 EXTRA, the ball leaves too quickly and is completely unplayable for some players.

      Michael Tomioka (Experience: １１〜２０ years) The blade used by Koki Niwa!

      Player reviews

      This is the blade used by Koki Niwa!
      First off, the design is just too cool, it's "it's cool" level, world class
      As you'd expect from Niwa, VICTAS's top player
      It's a great blade

      Blocking and countering were both really easy with this.
      That said, it's very much an advanced-player blade, and there were parts that were hard to handle.
      Also, for rubber, I'd recommend sticking with VICTAS rubbers as much as possible.

      The feel seems like it'd be hard, but it's not actually that hard. On the forehand side, it pairs well with a hard tension rubber.
      On the backhand, I think any tension rubber would work. If you want to do backhand counters or tricky plays like Koki Niwa, slightly tacky rubber would probably suit it.

      Pairs well with slightly tacky rubber. The blade's soft feel combined with the distance the ball travels feels really great.

      Yellow Card Niki (Experience: ４〜５ years) Easier to use than I expected

      Player reviews

      Since it's an outer blade with a hinoki surface, I thought it would fly way too much, but it actually lands solidly on the table! I have Hurricane on my forehand and it matches really well! And the Ventus I have on my backhand has a higher arc than the V15, so I felt it matched really well with the Koki Niwa ZC, which flies straight. I had been using the Koki Niwa Wood the whole time before this, but I was able to get used to this one quickly! It really feels like it's worth the price!!

      Atmark LGY (Experience: ２〜３ years) Hard! Bouncy! Unbeatable speed!

      Player reviews

      This is a review from a chopper's perspective. First, since it's an outer blade, it bounces well and produces speed no matter where you're standing, and that's a strong point! It's plenty capable even with a heavy tacky rubber. I think it pairs well with Curl P1V. Blocks don't seem to produce much variation, impression-wise. Chops cut normally, no issues there. Also, since it's outer carbon, attacking off a chop was really easy. Even if you're not a chopper, this is a blade that a drive player would be satisfied with too!

      I switched from the Evenholz 7 to the Koki Niwa ZC, and I'm really glad I bought it.
      I had been holding off on carbon blades because I had this image of Butterfly's carbon blades flying way too much, but the Koki Niwa ZC lands well, and I felt that blocking and countering became a lot easier!
      Of course, it's also great when I'm the one initiating the attack.
      I thought the backhand suits slightly tacky rubbers well, and I think it's outstanding with V15 Sticky!
      That said, it doesn't produce much in the way of tricky, unpredictable balls, so I think you might need to work at that part a bit.
      Personally, this is a combination I'd really like people to try.
