memory (Experience: ６〜１０ years) All-round blade with a soft feel despite the carbon

According to the maker, it has Free's Carbon inside, but the feel is soft enough that you'd hardly notice it. The ball retention is just as good as a wood blade too.
Because of the carbon's rebound, you also feel the ball leaving the rubber quickly on offense. Because of that, I feel like you'd need some practice switching over from defense-focused blades like the Defplay Senso, or thicker blades like the Defense 4.
On the other hand, when chopping, it feels like you can really send the ball where you want, so you can defend solidly when defending, and it gives the impression that you can commit fully when attacking.I mainly use Nittaku's Tilna, but maybe because it's a similarly special-material blade, this one feels quite similar to it. It's a bit harder than the Tilna, and it seems to pair well with soft pips rubbers too.

The forehand side performs better than the backhand side. Everything else is good too.

I tried the Muramatsu model.
Forehand chops are easier than backhand, and chopping is fun with this.
Hard hits aren't great though.
I'd say it's for people who want to enjoy chopping.
The forehand drive gets a good amount of spin.
Overall my impression was a blade where the wood's flex lets you put on spin, but it doesn't have much speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

I've used this blade for three years!
Compared to other blades, this one has a wider sweet spot, so even a snap chop lands as a shot that's hard for the opponent to return!
Also, chopping with the extra-thin Curl P4 makes a satisfying clack-clack sound on contact — it feels really good. It also pairs really well with the Curl series!!
I think it's a good blade that brings out the strengths of whatever rubber you put on it, without killing what's good about it!!
The downside is that the outer carbon layer is brittle and chips off easily, so you need to be extra careful when peeling rubber off!
Also, it bounces less than the Matsushita Koji Offensive or Diode V, but more than the Matsushita Koji or Tilner — kind of an in-between feel, which is both a good and a bad thing.
Highly recommended for choppers with an all-round playing style!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Compared to the normal Matsushita Koji, it bounces a bit more, so I felt it takes some getting used to in terms of controlling it. But once you get used to it, combined with the wide sweet spot, chops become extremely stable. As for the quality of the chop, since the ball leaves the blade fairly quickly, it's not really suited to winning points through spin amount or variation. If anything, it excels at how easy it is to return the ball. Also, the chop trajectory is low and flies fairly straight, so it's easy to follow up with an attack. Attacking off it, like hitting from far back or countering, is also very easy.
Overall, my impression is that this is a blade for players who want to focus on scoring through attacking rather than chopping. That said, I feel like it's a bit hard to handle without the skill to control the bounce and the feel for holding the ball.
On the other hand, if you'd rather focus on defense — using spin amount and variation on your chops — while playing all-round depending on the situation, the normal Matsushita is probably the safer, easier-to-handle choice.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It's a blade that seems contradictory at first — it bounces, yet chops stay stable. Just like the marketing says, the sweet spot is on the wide side, so even if your contact point is a bit off, the ball flies in a similar way, which is reassuring. The bounce isn't so wild either, so once you get used to it, chops become extremely stable. Attacking is easy too, and the attack/defense balance is at the high level you'd expect from the Koji Matsushita series. The feel will likely be a love-it-or-hate-it thing.
Also, the ball leaves the blade a bit quickly, so personally, if you're pairing it with long pips, I think a soft-sponge rubber works better. That said, with a harder sponge rubber the spin becomes downright absurd, so if you're confident you can handle it, that's a good option too. It pairs excellently with the Curl series.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
