Koji Matsushita Special

Victas Koji Matsushita Special operates in the ALL to ALL+ range, offering balanced speed suitable for modern defensive play. While designed for control, the Fleece Carbon layers provide a noticeable increase in directness and power compared to all-wood defensive blades. This gives you enough pace for effective counter-attacks and topspins, making it versatile for transitioning from defense to offense. The speed isn't overwhelming but is perfectly sufficient for creating offensive pressure from a defensive stance.

Control is the standout feature of this blade, earning top marks for precision. The Fleece Carbon layers and wood veneers work together to create an exceptionally large sweet spot while minimizing unwanted vibrations. This allows for remarkable accuracy in all strokes, making difficult defensive shots, sensitive blocks, and precise placement feel effortless. Players who rely on consistency and tactical placement will find this level of control ideal for dictating rallies.

Victas Koji Matsushita Special delivers a soft to medium-soft feel characteristic of defensive blades designed for good dwell time. Despite the carbon layers, the feel remains soft with minimal unpleasant vibrations, providing excellent feedback from the ball. This sensitive touch enhances control and allows for nuanced execution of defensive strokes.

Players report a medium-low to medium throw angle, with some noting it produces a slightly lower trajectory than other blades. This characteristic benefits defensive shots by creating lower returns that are more challenging for opponents to attack effectively.

The combination of wood plies and Fleece Carbon provides excellent dwell time, allowing players to impart significant spin during chops and loops. This extended contact is crucial for defensive players who rely on spin variation and control to outmaneuver opponents, with many noting how well the blade holds the ball.

This blade offers medium flexibility—not as stiff as some faster carbon blades, yet the carbon layers provide enough stiffness to support offensive power. This balanced flexibility contributes to good dwell time for control while maintaining responsiveness for counter-attacks.

A defining characteristic is its exceptionally low vibration. The Fleece Carbon layers are specifically engineered to absorb and minimize unwanted vibrations, creating a clean, direct feel with almost zero-vibration feedback. This quality is highly valued by defenders for enhancing both control and playing comfort.

Victas Koji Matsushita Special represents premium, high-end craftsmanship. The materials selection, construction techniques, and overall finish contribute to excellent build quality that players immediately notice. It's built to be durable and deliver consistent performance over time, living up to its reputation as professional-grade equipment for serious defenders.
