I’ve thought that Koi was a nice looking throw for a long time but never had one. The Tankette now… that I’ve owned. If you want a very different throw that really performs, this is your throw. Provided you’re looking for incredible lightness that feels ghostly in play but still has killer stability and spin time in an undersized package. ---

I like the koi. I have a purple one and it’s decent. It was set free with a nice gash in it so it’s in my beater rotation.
