  • easy to control

Cons
  • not so durable
  • expensive
  • the name
okay the best modern defensive racket is Joo Se Hyuk blade but the thing is that its so heavy (above 100g)

So I found this, Koji Matsushita - lighter, easier to control and not as offensive as JSH but good enough.

My review is based on Matsushita Special. there is an normal Matsushita blade , defensive and offensive

off : offensive>special>normal>=defensive
control : special > normal >=defensive >= offensive

I must say i wasnt impressed by this blade.
I had it for 2 weeks. Played about 10 hours with it. Curl P-1R and Rakza 9 were the rubbers.
It was the most controlable blade i ever played with. Close, Mid, far from table, i could always returns the balls.
The problem was with offensive strokes. FH drives, LP hits, wasnt much impressive. Coming from Joo Se Hyuk as defensive setup, i think it was a huge downgrade to my game as defender.
Sure, the beauty of the handle it something to consider, also the sound and vibration that it makes :p
But still, a bit slow/soft/flexible for modern defensive game/my liking
