The Japanese shooting star Yuto Muramatsu was a key contributor to the development of this high-end blade. It is a fast DEF blade offering modern defenders, in addition to great reliability in defense, all they need to create their own sudden counter-attacks. The special White Mahogany outer ply of the 5-ply design harmonizes perfectly with Yuto's OFF power, while the VICTAS design team was also able to improve defense control and precision even further. Yuto Muramatsu is a VICTAS quality product "Made in Japan".

This is a blade I bought as a backup. It's an amazing blade. The overall balance is good. Spin comes out well, and you get a decent amount of speed too. Control is pretty good as well, though it bounces a bit more than expected. I'd recommend it to choppers who mix in attacks with pips or long pips too.

I've had the Muramatsu Yuto for four years. It's a great wood blade for attacking, but hard to chop with.

I think it's a pretty good blade. The biggest plus is definitely how easy it is to attack with.
The power is amazing (more for players who go all-in on topspin drives than smashers).
Controlling forehand chops takes a bit of nerve (but they're easy to cut).
Backhand chops felt really great — easy to control too (great match with Spipi2).
Pushes were also easy to cut (no real issues there).
I like that the long pips have low bounce.
It's a good blade, but I think it would be tough for beginners — you might struggle with the bounce. Recommended for players who want stable chops plus more attacking power!!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It does have some bounce, but compared to the Matsushita Koji Offensive, I think chops are more stable.
It's easy to attack with too.
Recommended for choppers who like to attack actively.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

First off, it has quite a lot of bounce. Even when chopping, it can fly too far and go long. But once you get used to it, it lands consistently. When attacking too, putting in too much power sends it long. It's a chopping blade, but it's also stable in topspin rallies and drive-block exchanges. However, if you mishit, the ball drops short. It gives you consistent shots so I recommend it, but I don't think it's very beginner-friendly, so I'd suggest getting used to something like Astron Yellow or Diode V first and moving up from there.

For a chopping blade, this thing
has crazy bounce.
So I use the thinnest sponge on both sides to make it easier to keep under control.
I'm not great at controlling the ball so it doesn't stay in that well, but when it comes to attacking, that bouncy plywood really shows its power and produces insane speed.
But the more I used it, the plywood started to peel.
Is it just me...?
Based on that, I personally think it might actually be more fragile than the Astron, which is known for breaking easily.
The bounce is something you get used to.
But partway through, I started relying on the bounce so much that I began wanting a proper drive blade...
Since short pips are for hitting, I think medium sponge thickness is just right.
I also think you should avoid OX with pips.
I make up for the feel on contact just by getting used to it and controlling it that way.
By the way, I'm currently chopping with Fly At rubber.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Personally, I felt this is a chopping blade with a lot of pop. Put another way, it's easy to attack with and easy to counter from mid-distance to away from the table. It's even good enough for normal topspin rallies. That said, because it has so much pop, keeping the ball under control took everything I had... (though that depends on my own skill level)
Since the blade is on the harder side, I personally felt it worked well paired with soft to medium-soft rubber. For the backhand rubber, I feel like pretty much anything works, whether you're a chopper using long pips or one using short pips. For choppers using long pips, I'd recommend Curl P-3aR, and for choppers using short pips, Super Spin Pips Chop Sponge 2.
Finally, I think I'd recommend this to intermediate-to-advanced players, especially choppers who like to mix in some offense.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard
