I like Koki Niwa, so I bought this along with the KOKI NIWA WOOD blade. The most important thing when using this rubber is hitting with a strong impact (the moment the ball meets the racket). When you hit with a strong impact, the power is amazing. If you want to hit light shots that still come in sharp, I can't really recommend it. Whether against backspin or a strong topspin drive, you can return with a sharp drive of your own. I really recommend it for people who can swing fast. At first you might think it doesn't fly much, but once you get used to it and focus on hitting with a strong impact, it should become the best, strongest rubber.

I used it for about 2-3 weeks after buying it.
As for hardness, it didn't feel that hard to me, it actually felt kind of soft. It grips the ball well so it was easy to put spin on and easy to send it flying. But I felt like people who can't swing properly won't be able to produce good shots with it. As for lifespan, the sheet felt like it was done after about 2 weeks. If you can do a full swing, you get really good shots, so I'd recommend it to people who have a proper swing.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Looking up to Koki Niwa, I bought the black max thickness for my forehand in February. At first it felt hard and was tough to control, but the more I used it, the more consistent and easier to use it became. The topspin rallies especially landed deep, which was great. My YG serve also spun way more than usual, with tons of spin on it. It's the best rubber.

My impression is that this rubber is on the heavier side with a strong sheet. It doesn't lose to the opponent's spin, and it's easier to do a topspin drive over the table than a chiquita — a really aggressive rubber. The trajectory is low and deep with a lot of power. For blocking, just presenting the racket is enough — if anything, a half-hearted touch will drop the ball short, so instead of fine-tuning your technique, you're better off trusting the rubber and going for a full swing. It really rewards that.
I'd recommend it more for players who want to score with sharp, defense-then-counter attacking style rather than players who like to grind out long rallies. It's also good for backhand-dominant playing styles, which are common among left-handers.
Since the trajectory is sharp and it's specialized for speed, I think it suits blades with good ball-holding feel like inner-ply, 7-ply, or a stiffer 5-ply. I also tried it on an outer-ply blade, but honestly the power was overkill, so it's safer to choose a blade that helps reduce mistakes.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard

I'm using max thickness sponge on my forehand.
It doesn't bounce unexpectedly, and you can still put spin on it, so above all it lets you attack with your serves.
Countering drives is also easy, but I felt this is a rubber you can't fully handle unless you have both the dynamic vision to track the ball and the skill to sink the ball into the rubber when you hit.
Flat hitting is really easy above all. You can hit low-trajectory smashes, so I can recommend it to players who like to catch their opponent off guard.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard

I liked the playing style of VICTAS-sponsored players and tried this a few times, but it didn't suit me and I gave up.
However, when I switched my blade to the Koki Niwa Wood and tried again, it clicked. (The Innerforce ZLC and the Koki Niwa blade didn't suit me.)The sheet is soft and the sponge is on the firm side; some of this may come down to blade compatibility, but the control is excellent.
The arc also wasn't as low as I expected, and I felt plenty of lift when driving.As others have said too, the best thing about this rubber above all is the counter. The sheet doesn't give way, letting you turn the opponent's ball into your own with a stable feel, while still sending back a powerful shot.
The forehand is also really easy to use, but the backhand is easy too — for chiquitas and close-to-the-table drives — so I use it on both sides. Blocking is also very easy (maybe because the sheet is strong yet soft?), so I feel I can recommend it for the backhand as well.
It's a high-end rubber, but I found it surprisingly easy to use, so if you think about blade compatibility, I think even students could use it just fine.

This is my opinion after a month of switching from G1 Max Thickness (2.0mm) to V15 Extra Max Thickness (2.1mm).
The first time I hit with it, the basics — forehand, backhand, one-spot drills — felt fine, no discomfort. It had more power than G1 and felt good. My opponents said it was hard to handle too. On the other hand, stops and pushes had noticeably more overshooting mistakes. As for serves, it was more that spin was hard to put on — or rather, the ball would fly off before I could add spin. In all-around practice drills, I had more overshooting mistakes.
A month on from that, I've gotten more used to it, but my impression is that G1 was still more consistent. Playing right up against the table still feels scary, like I might mess it up. Well, that's probably down to my own skill, lol. But I was surprised when I landed a counter against the opponent's loop drive right where it dropped. Other than that, it's really just a matter of taking time to get used to it.
What really bothers me is the lifespan. It's been a month since I started using it, but lines are already showing up on the rubber — enough that my friends ask if I've really only used it for a month. Honestly, that's the only real weak point.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
