I paired Banana with a forehand G1 2.0mm and backhand Monkey 0.6 mm, the same setup I used for my Koki Niwa Wood. Compared to Koki Niwa Wood, the Banana isn't slow at all when hitting with low to medium power. The main difference lies in the speed when hitting with high power, the power of the shot, and the ball's feedback to the racket. I also really like the handle shape of this racket; it's very similar to the Koki Niwa Wood, both ST having a square shape.
The Banana's handle is a bit more square, thicker, and narrower. Besides, Banana is heavier and its center of gravity is closer to the head of the racket. Partially due to this, Banana's backhand flick is easier. Overall, playing Koki Niwa Wood is more exciting, while playing Banana is more relaxing and forgiving.
