I got to test-hit a friend's, and it was really easy to use close to the table. It generates power too, but since it draws a fairly good arc, you can swing with confidence. That said, it's heavy and the grip is on the thicker side, so I felt it's better suited to players with power.

I think this blade is a bit on the straight-trajectory side,
and I didn't find it to bounce all that much.
It's easy to put spin on.
It matched well with V15.
Since my skill wasn't quite there yet, I switched to Evolution, which holds the ball well, but if I get the chance I'd like to try V15 on it again.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

I switched over from the Zhang Jike ALC. It's a carbon blade, but it feels like a 5-ply wood blade. It has excellent stability, and the grip feel when putting spin on the ball is nice, so it's comfortable to use. I thought handling it on the backhand with V>15 Extra would be difficult, but close to the table it shows outstanding stability. When hitting hard, it shows real speed.
On the forehand, even while I'm still adjusting to V15 Extra, counter-driving is easy; putting spin on a loop drive isn't as easy, but once it bites, the ball travels slowly, making it hard for the opponent to return. I also tried the VJ07 STIFF — with the VJ07 STIFF, putting spin on head-on shots was easy, and overall handling was easy.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Niwa Takaki Modoki (Experience: ４〜５ years) Huh? What is this blade, way too strong!

Well, in a word: strong.
Honestly the price is high, but in terms of spin and control it's way above what the price suggests.
Well, I guess this should be treated as a national treasure.
So, everyone, go and buy one!
And feel the joy of being able to use it — and take pride in being able to use it!

I happened to find a light one at 81 grams, so I bought it. Given Niwa's style and it being a Victas blade, of course V15 Extra was an option too, but somehow I had a feeling Tenergy 05 would suit it, so I put it on both sides, and it turned out to be a perfect match. Defensively, I felt like putting V15 Extra on it might make blocks feel too bouncy, but maybe it's the Tenergy effect — it stops the ball dead without any wasted bounce. Offensively, if you build up a proper load, loop drives get a solid arc, and hitting with a thicker contact sends the ball flying. A clean, well-timed smash is up there with the most powerful I've experienced from any blade I've used. As expected from the Koki Niwa. For the short game, the backhand chiquita has a really solid grip on the ball, coming out with strong sidespin and good speed too. It almost feels like I've stumbled onto a magic blade, but if I find any flaws after using it more, I'll post again. Wow, this really got me. P.S. Once Tamasu's Dignics comes out, I'm thinking of trying it on the forehand side only. I've got high expectations. Something about it feels like it could be amazing.

Let me compare it to the Timo Boll ALC.
Topspin drive/smash speed: Koki Niwa wins
Topspin drive/smash spin: about the same
Overall short-game skills: Koki Niwa wins
Grip design: Timo Boll ALC wins
Lightness/ease of holding: Timo Boll ALC wins
Feel: quite different, but both are good
Value for money: about the same for both
The Koki Niwa is really good. If you've got the money, why not try it? I doubt you'll find it hard to use, and I don't think you'll regret it.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

It's super, incredibly easy to use! Even a light hit sends the ball flying! I think V15 Extra is the best match, but I feel like any rubber in the V15 series would work too.
