Arad Isn't this for attacking!?

I've hit with every VICTAS Koji Matsushita blade, and this one was so easy to attack with that you'd think it was an attacking blade!
On the other hand, holding back my chops was tough - they went too deep and I had a lot of overshoots, so I think a rubber that doesn't fly too much is the way to go with this.
To sum up, I think this is a phenomenal blade for a chopper who likes to attack a lot.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

As the title says, this is my second comment — I changed the rubber on my forehand side (switched from "V15 Extra (2.0)" to "V20 Double Extra (2.0)").
It might depend on the rubber you pair it with, but just like I said in my previous comment, defensive skills like chopping and blocking feel harder than with the other Matsushita Kouji blades, though I think the ZC is better when it comes to how easy and powerful drives and smashes feel.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I started out with the Matsushita Kouji and felt like it lacked attacking power, but after switching to this one I can hit incredibly powerful drives.

I switched from the normal Matsushita Kouji to the ZC, and at first kept the same rubbers I had on the normal version — Provincial Hurricane 3 Blue Sponge 40 with Feint Long 2 — but the ball came off way too fast for me and I couldn't control it. After trying a bunch of different rubbers, I finally settled on Provincial Hurricane Neo 3 Orange Sponge 39 with Feint Long 3. Maybe because the setup finally matched me, both the sharpness of my chops and my speed improved a lot compared to the normal version. The ZC really is a great blade.

Attacking feels really effortless with this.
Great on the forehand and offers excellent control for chopping.
Good at backhand chops too. It looks like a blade built for a marathon-style chopper, but it's not suited to a destructive, all-out attacking player.
If you're an all-around player like me, it'll suit you well.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

A silver ball rather than a white ball (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Compared to the Matsushita Kohji SP

This is just my personal comparison between the Matsushita Kouji ZC (ZC from here on) and the Matsushita Kouji SP (SP from here on), so take it for what it's worth.
I was using the SP with Dig 05 Special Pressure on the forehand and P1 0.5 on the backhand.
The biggest difference I felt was on the forehand chop.
The SP has outer carbon, so the ball comes off fast and flies out in a flat, straight line, while the ZC has inner carbon, so you really feel the ball grip the blade, arc nicely, and settle onto the table.
Spin is also very easy to generate and comes out great.
I think that's partly because the type of carbon is simply different between the two.
What matters most, I think, is how it actually feels when you hit the ball.I'll skip the backhand chop comparison since the rubbers were different to begin with.
As for the forehand push, the ZC bounces fine of course, but the SP bounces even more.
If you want to hit a sharp, aggressive push, I think the SP lets you do it more easily.For drives, the ZC grips the ball better than the SP, so it's also easier to lift heavy backspin.
In conclusion, I'm switching to the ZC.

Even though it has Z-carbon, this blade still keeps the good feel and stability of wood. Pairing it with a softer rubber gives even better ball-holding. The balance between drive power and stability really clicked for me. If you're mostly an attacking player who rarely chops, or someone obsessed with one big shot, you might find it a little lacking. Backhand attacks and backhand drives from mid-distance have about as much power as an attacker's inner-carbon blade? It really works with any rubber!
It's a price that's hard to commit to, but I really want people to try it out and pair it with all kinds of rubbers. That's how you'll find the gear that's perfect for you.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
