      A man longing for a pen (Experience: 4〜5 years) Amazing racket

      Player reviews

      This blade is famous for being used by Koki Niwa, and it's really easy to use.
      I'm an inverted-on-both-sides topspin player, but it works well even when I drop back, and blocking is easy too.
      I actually smash and hit flat more than I loop, but if the incoming ball is even a little high, my drive flies in with insane speed. The counters are godly too.
      This got long, but this is one blade I really want people to try.

      Kokiniwa Love (Experience: 2〜3 years) The best!

      Player reviews

      I have V15 Stiff on my forehand
      and Vega Europe DF on my backhand.
      But it pairs so well with V15 that I'm thinking of switching the backhand to V15 Stiff too.
      Every technique - topspin drives, serves, blocks, counters - is easy to pull off.
      That said, maybe it's partly my own lack of skill, but I feel like I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in push battles.
      Still, this is the best blade. I'm going to keep using it for a long time to come!!

      Player reviews

      I bought this recently when I replaced both my blade and rubber at the same time. It's only been two weeks since I started using it, but I've never had such a wonderful all-wood blade.
      I've always liked heavier all-wood blades and have used a fair number from other makers, but I was shocked at how close the feel, speed, and spin are to a blade with special materials. Since I admire Koki Niwa, I put V-15 Extra on both sides, and my topspin drives really sink into the opponent's court.
      It's a great blade that matches really well with close-to-the-table attacking players. It feels amazing when a counter lands (lol)

      koki niwa fan (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super all-round

      Player reviews

      I like a hard feel, and after trying this one I found it easy to use and can recommend it.
      The speed is about the same as an outer-carbon blade, but the ball still doesn't fall short.
      When smashing, the ball leaves the blade fast but still picks up strong spin.
      Even hitting against backspin, the ball doesn't drop, and you can really rip spin onto it.
      It's fast, but if you swing through it, it stays consistent and goes in.
      The grip is easy to hold too, so it's easy to put power into your shots.
      I'd recommend it to anyone who can play their own game without getting nervous in tournaments.

      Middle pen you (Experience: 2〜3 years) Stability like no other for close-to-table play!

      Player reviews

      I got to try a friend's, and the first thing I noticed was that even with a hard rubber on it, the feel is soft. Because of that, you get good ball control and stability close to the table, and the power that only a 7-ply blade can give away from the table! This blade brings out the right strengths no matter where you're playing, and I thought it was fantastic! The quirky design looks cool too.

      Table tennis men who care about tools (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Player reviews

      The blade itself is on the harder side, so I think a harder rubber is easier to control. I had a soft rubber on mine, but with soft rubber my control went out the window and I got a lot of overshooting misses. That's just my own take though. If you're putting rubber on it, I think V15 or a tacky rubber would pair well. The blade's performance is excellent - you really feel the ball grip on contact, and it felt easy to put spin on. The speed is good too, and you can still hit good shots even away from the table. If you're using the Swat Power and feel it's too heavy or the grip too thick, I think this is a blade worth recommending.

      I became a member of society and started table tennis (Experience: 2〜3 years) Best feel

      Player reviews

      I upgraded from my very first blade, the Swat.
      The first thing I noticed was the insane speed - the more you swing, the more it stretches and grips the ball! But it doesn't fly long during the short game. Like, why?
      I copied Niwa and put V15 on both sides at first, but while the forehand was fine, I couldn't handle the backhand at all.
      Once I switched to Vega Tour it became incredibly stable.
      If you're moving up from a 5-ply blade, I'd say start with the Vega series.
      I wrote a lot, but this is a fantastic blade. Definitely give it a try.
