Victas Koji Matsushita - A milestone in the history of defensive blades!
The
Victas Koji Matsushita is one of the best defensive blades around the world! It was developed by the 4 times Olympic participant Koji Matsushita. During this process, the main focus was clearly on an incredible control with specialization on spin defense. Particularly table tennis players with a
modern spin defense (which means defending with your backhand, attacking with your forehand) will be most happy with this Victas blade.
With respect to the composition of the
Victas Koji Matsushita we can tell you that exclusively high-quality, wooden layers were used. These are individually and thoroughly chosen for each blade. As a result, the
Koji Matsushita exhibits a great precision with every stroke you do. Victas is guaranteeing that each of their blades is
hand-made!
With a moderate weight of approx. 90 g this table tennis blade lies within the normal range of most defensive blades. The head of the
Victas Koji Matsushita is increased so that there is even more control. The high-quality veneers (e.g. Japanese cedar spruce) are optimally matched and attuned to each other. Hence,
defensive strokes exhibit perfect control, whereas attacking strokes exhibit sufficient power.
Victas Koji Matsushita - Small excursion to Spruce & summary
Note that
Japanese cedar spruce exhibits relatively similar properties as the common Spruce does.
Spruce (Picea abies) is native to Europe (except the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula), but also to large parts of Asia. Spruce is not very heavy (density: 420 kg/m
3), not very hard (Janka hardness: 300), but very strong (Young´s modulus: 11,000 N/mm
2). Spruce veneers provide much feedback and control. However, when combining Spruce with harder materials, the properties are clearly directed toward more offensive features as also present in the
Victas Koji Matsushita.
