Modern defenders like the great Japanese talent, Yuto Muramatsu, will take every opportunity to launch sudden counter-attacks from a safe defensive position. The Koji Matsushita Offensive is the ideal blade for this type of players who rely on excellent control for defensive playing, but need good speed for their own attacking. The 5-ply design with a slightly harder outer mahogany ply provides for outstanding power second-to-none in the defensive blade segment, and gives any defender all the precision and control they need for passive playing. All blades of the VICTAS Koji Matsushita series are hand-made in our Japanese blade workshop.
