Victas Koji Matsushita Special

I have all defensive blades from Victas Matsushita series. Special version is my favorite blade, which lets you equally well chop, loop and smash. This blade isn't fast like Matsushita Offensive and doesn't catapult when you trying to loop with it like Victas Defensive. Also, this blade is slightly slower than Matsushita ZC but has the same feel, stability and power to attack. Regular Matsushita version is nice too, but I personally like Special version since it gives me stable offensive shoots with great control. I use Battle 2 National 39* sponge. Long pips I am using with this blade is Butterfly Ilius S 1.3mm. Chops and loops are very heavy with great control. These pips let you drive and smash ball back, providing you with good variation with long pips.

(Mine is only 84g.) It took me a few hours to get familiar with the feeling : something stiff compared to other Matsushita blades, but still with a soft touch. On the forehand side (usual VS401, 2mm), it was immediatly satisfaying : control is high, speed is more than enough (ALL), everything went like a dream. At first try, the backhand was a little bit strange (usual Curl P1V, 0,5mm) : surprisingly slow. Even comparing to KM Defensive, I had to constantly go foreward with the pimple espacially on short game and service receives to avoid the net. I bet it's a matter of throw angle since the overall speed is not super slow... Chopping with LP needed a few adjustements to obtain tense trajectories. After 3 sessions, I get some hudge underspin with a low trajectory and finally pushes are pretty disrupting for opponent. KM Special is a very stable blade for choppers, the balance between control and power is one of the best to me.

Very nice blade for controllable defence. When playing offensive, it feels like an allwood blade. On defensive hit it feels very controllable. A good blade for modern defensive players.

Great blade with a lot of control and feeling

Excelente como espada de entrenamiento si no eres jugador muy avanzado, la utilizo con gomas rápidas experimentando ataques rápidos, defensa cerca o lejos de la mesa etc. Siempre tengo la sensación de tener margen de error en los golpes.. En pocos meses puedes dar el salto a espadas más rápidas y complejas de controlar.
