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".

It's easy to chop aggressively. So it's easy to pull off the pattern of sending a heavy chop, forcing the opponent into a stop (short push), and then smashing the ball that pops up. Keeping the ball under control takes a bit of a knack, but you can do it once you get used to it.

I used this after the Matsushita Offensive, and since the blade is thick it flies like crazy❗Chops are easy to keep under control too❗Since it's a thick blade, I think soft rubbers suit it well❗

I play defense on my backhand and focus on topspin drives and curve-long shots on my forehand, and this blade has great speed - you can blast through even from far back.
I use Mizuno Q4 rubber, which is on the harder side, paired with a softer wood, and personally I think the balance is good.
As for Feint Long III, I don't think you need to worry too much about sponge thickness with long pips (in the end it's all about getting used to it).
You can flip the racket after a backhand chop and counter, so you can play more like an all-rounder than a pure chopper.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Overall a really well-balanced blade, great with V15 Stiff and VO101 too - lets you combine offense and defense nicely.
That said, if you pair a 2.0 thick rubber with a 1.8 medium-thick rubber on both sides it gets pretty heavy, so I'd recommend going with a 1.6 short pips rubber instead.
Offense
For topspin drives, it hits balls with the kind of power you'd expect from a V15, and since the blade surface is hard it also generates a lot of speed.
Defense (chop)
The wood and rubber are on the hard side and tension-type, so it takes some getting used to at first, but once you adjust you can chop with a lot of bite and control is good too.
Recommended for choppers who like to play offensively.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness hard

Until recently I was using a Zhu Shihe blade, but I felt it bounced a bit too much, so I switched to this blade.
My impression after using it: even though it doesn't bounce as much as Zhu, it still bounces quite a bit.
The backhand chops naturally with good bite.
This is a blade I'd recommend for a player whose forehand attacks and backhand defends!Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think this blade takes the Matsushita's control and ease of generating spin as a base, and makes the top ply a bit harder for more speed.
That speed sits at just the right level too, so whether you're chopping or driving, if you use the stroke that suits you, most shots go in. I mainly chop
but when I go for it, I do counters, smashes, and chiquita receives, and they go in sharp, low, and long in a straight line. That said, if I use tension rubber, control gets hard and I get a lot of overshoots. For serves, it depends on the feel you've learned, but brushing gives a short serve while gripping it in gives a longer one. Receives can also be varied once you get used to it. If you're choosing rubber, I think beginner to intermediate players should go with something high-bounce like Mark V, or a soft, tacky-sponge rubber like Tackiness. Advanced players should be fine with tension rubber or something from the Hurricane series. By the way, on drives from far off the table, in my case it flies further than a beginner attacking blade. 『Sophomore in middle school』 well, it depends on the person, but I'd recommend this to anyone struggling to choose equipment or who felt the Matsushita wasn't quite enough. 【Sorry for the long post.】Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Rather than a pure chopping blade... I'd actually recommend this to all-rounders. For a chopping blade it has good pop, and countering right off a chop is no problem at all. Of course chops have real bite, and you can even throw in knuckle chops that are hard to read... this blade was seriously tough to play against (´・ω・`) Being really easy to do the short game is another good point of this blade. Definitely give it a try
