Donic Waldner Senso Carbon JO Shape

Review of Donic Waldner Senso Carbon JO ShapeWSC Jo shapeFH => Coppa X1 gold 2.0 BH => Coppa X1 gold 2.0 Stiffer and a little faster than waldner senso carbon (classic), it has also less dwell time. the WSC Jo shape doesn't have any double speed effect which is the biggest disadvantage with the classic version. The blade is a fantastic allrounder, but you need a good skill and you have to master a large panel of technics to get the best out of this blade. Not for beginner, topspiner only or passive allrounder. Very good for serve, return and block. Top spin under backspin maybe a little more complicated than with a topsiner blade (flexible). To conclude, if you have a WSC classic and you can't manage with the double speed effect, if you want a gain in block, serve and speed (little) to the detriment of an high dwell time and the topspin facility, the Jo shape is a good upgrade !

Stiga Cybershape Carbon

||||||||||||||
Review of Stiga Cybershape CarbonI play it with Rakza 9 1.8 fronthand, V11 extra 2.0 backhand. It's an inner carbon blade with kiri/koto layers. So the feeling is close to viscaria or Boll ALC, but less radical. The blade is not light and the head's weight gives the sensation of having a hammer if paired with heavy rubbers. Because of the V11 extra, the blade weight is 180gr witch is perfect to me. The blade is dynamic but with a very good control, it's not the best on service but it do the job in that part. The dwelltime is short so it's not a top spin machine. One thing a really appreciate : it's reallly good on block but your are not penalized for the opening topspin. Most of the time if the blade is good for blocking, it's not good for first top spin and vice versa. To conclude, a good head heavy controled offensive blade, very good on block, with no weakness, but not for spin oriented player.Oct 09, 2022 | |||||||||||||||

Victas Koki Niwa

Review of Victas Koki NiwaMy setup is Koki Niwa, FH Fastarc G1 2.0mm, BH V15 extra max. It's an offensive blade, fast and stiff but not very dynamic. The level of control is amazing for a such fast blade. It really shines with linear medium/hard rubbers, for example fastarc P1, T64 or Rakza 9 are too dynamic for the blade and you'll loose all of its quality. On the contrary, fastarc G1, D09c or Rakza X accomodate very well, giving these rubbers a perfect balance between spin and power. It's not the best blade to serve, backspin second ball or passive shots, but as soon as you're active on the ball everything is possible. BH flick is a breese 95% of the time (V15 extra helps). FH top spin is very versatile : slow spinny top spin, controled top spin, power counter top spin, mid-distance and long distance top spin are always predictable. One of the best versatile offensive blade I played with. Niwa vs Acoustic carbon outer : less stiffness and speed, Acoustic is better on flat hit, block, Niwa is better on ball placement et spin. Niwa vs HL5 : service is better with HL5, HL5 is a little faster and has more spin potential but Niwa has more control, HL5 is better for chinese rubbers but Niwa is better with europeans and new hybrids rubbers (Tibhar K3...). The greatest quality of this wood is that it is playful, it makes you want to make the exchange last and to test things as you feel confident with it. Who is it for? Well, it all depends on the rubbers used. I think that in all cases it needs rubbers with a hardness greater than 45° and linear. Tensors like G1 or Rakza X will be perfect for experienced players, but a good old Donic vario or other non-tensor rubber will go without problem to a young player in progression or a less young player of average level. It's not suited to spin oriented players, allround players and it's too stiff for beginners.Nov 17, 2024 | |||||||||||||||

Victas Koki Niwa Wood
|
||||||||||||||
Review of Victas Koki Niwa WoodA 7-ply all wood blade. Reminds me the TSP Swat Power but with a little more feeling. The Victas Koki Niwa (9-ply carbon) is stiffer and harder.It's an off blade for counter attacker, easy on block, counter topspin, very effective close to table but also pleasant during rallies far from the table. Suits very well with "not too bouncy" rubbers like Fastarc G1, Rakza X, V-15 extra, MX-S... With bouncy rubbers it's quite uncontrollable to serve or return shorts balls. Compared to Stiga Clipper, it's faster, better for counter attack (block, counter topspin...) but has less feeling for all the topspin variations. Clipper is a versatile blade for close to the table players, Niwa Wood is more violent but more effective far from the table. Very good 7-ply blade but the price is to high.
