    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    The Niwa Koki model receives high ratings for its excellent overall performance and counter-attacking capabilities, particularly recommended for aggressive players. However, its weight and power requirements, as well as the importance of racket-rubber compatibility, are notable considerations.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Carbon construction provides stable flight and powerful shots
    • Outstanding counter-attacking and short-game precision
    • Superior offensive and defensive play near the table
    • Performance significantly influenced by rubber selection
    • Heavy weight requires substantial player strength
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveIt flies even with light strokes and counters consistently enter the table. The compatibility with V15 Extra is excellent, allowing me to execute shots exactly as intended.
    ▽ CriticalThe ball contact feels subtle and uncomfortable. Without a special fondness for the Niwa model, this racket is not particularly recommendable.

      Osamu (Experience: 4〜5 years) Light and easy to swing

      Player reviews

      I'm a middle schooler, and this blade is light and easy to swing.
      Blocking is easy too, and so is countering.
      It lets me play with solid consistency, so I think it's a great blade.

      I'm using Hurricane NEO2 on both sides.
      I think using tension rubber normally is probably the smarter choice, but personally I enjoy using tacky rubber to control the short game while getting more power out of hard hits than my swing alone would suggest.
      With tacky rubber, I find that for non-spin techniques like smashes, hitting flat and parallel to the table works well, and for drives, opening the racket angle and brushing the ball tends to land more consistently.

      Raw (Experience: Less than a year) A beginner uses it

      Player reviews

      This is the first expensive blade I've bought. I'd been using a hand-me-down SK7 Alpha that already had the wood chipping, so I decided to get this one instead. After trying it out, even as a beginner I thought it was a great blade — light and easy to swing. (Middle schooler)

      North table tennis (Experience: 6〜10 years) Outstanding power

      Player reviews

      I like carbon blades, so I picked this one up and tried it! I switched over from the Quartet Speed II. Please just take this as a reference!

      Serve
      It's not like the ball bites super hard, but the grip is thick, so I found it easy to wrap the serve.

      Receive
      The contact feel comes through clearly in your hand, so it was easy to handle! That said, it has some extra bounce, so you just have to get used to that. Once you're used to it, it's easy to use!

      Short game
      I thought the bounce might make it hard to hold down, but when you want to stop the ball it really stops, so once you're used to the bounce it's manageable!

      Topspin drive
      It holds the ball well, so it's easy to use! Even with a weak impact you get a drive with amazing power! (Rubber compatibility matters too.) If you can swing all the way through, I think it's really easy to use!

      Block
      This was easy for me! It really resonates in your hand, so it was easy to control too!

      That's it! Personally, I felt that even with a hard rubber the ball-holding is good enough to make it work! Even with a soft rubber you still get decent speed, so I think it works for people who care about control too! Sorry for the long post! Hope it helps! (_ _)

      Lucky (Experience: 6〜10 years) Amazing blade

      Player reviews

      I bought this used.
      When I tried hitting with it, I was blown away! Since the blade is thicker than the base Quartet AFC, it keeps that signature Quartet ball-holding feel while still giving satisfying power! I think the V>15's performance has a lot to do with it too, but this is the first time I've actually felt my topspin drive was fast, lol.
      On top of that, the short game and serves are stable too. I really think this is a great blade.
      That said, the grip is thick and the weight runs heavier, so it'll probably take some real power to use it to its full potential.

      Victus followers (Experience: 4〜5 years) High performance in every aspect!!!

      Player reviews

      I bought this at the start of the new year on my coach's recommendation.
      Compared to the Quartet AFC I used before, it felt noticeably livelier when I hit with it. And the feel
      isn't too hard or too soft, it's right in the sweet spot, and I really love it!
      It holds the ball well, so shots land on the table very consistently!
      Power and speed are both more than enough! I felt it paired really well with V15 Extra.
      Definitely give it a try at least once! I'm sure you'll love it too!

      VICTAS followers (Experience: 6〜10 years) 98 out of 100

      Player reviews

      All the stats on this blade are tuned to a really high level.
      I've used more than 10 different blades so far, and I haven't found one this well-balanced.
      Nothing stands out as extreme, but if you pair it with an aggressive rubber, you can definitely push it in that direction.
      It's made a bit thicker than the Quartet series, so I don't feel the excess flex that was a weak point across the whole Quartet line.
      The only real downside is that the average weight runs on the heavier side.
      If that's an issue for you, just go look for a lighter one (lol).
      The upfront cost is big, but I think the value for money is right up there with the SWAT.
      Ironically, this ends up being a blade I'd highly recommend to beginners and lower-level players too, so everyone should give it a try at least once.
