Can anyone compare the Victas Koji Matsushita with a Yinhe LQ2 in term of flex and speed?
I didn't try the Victas yet but I assume it should be similar to the LQ2 but with a softer feel.

I bought and tried the Victas Koji Matsushita blade with Yasaka Rakza 7 max on forehand and Bomb Talent 0.5 mm on backhand. This blade is very good for modern defensive style.
Good chopping and good counter attack. Very good controlled blade.

vietma,
Could you compare your Defence 4 to the VKM? I haven't read many reviews of the new Defence 4.
Thanks, CK

Heads up. The new Victas Koji Matsushita Special blade is coming out in December.

Composite Defensive Blade with Fleece Carbon, surface of 165x155mm, 5.6mm thick, weighs ~90g and comes in FL and ST.

Here is a screen grab of it from the Japanese Store Kokusai Takkyu.

That looks really interesting, I'm kinda interested in the VKMO as well, trying to hold off though haha.

How is the reversal on LP chopping with the VKM compared to the Bty JSH blade?

Koji Special is made in China::

http://victas-jp.com/product/brades/detail/?id=71

TT-Japan Engrish says: "Wood structure with reduced rebound, does not resonate in a wide sweet spot and hand the special material produce 'new sense'. State-of-the-art Matsushita Koji model dedicated to the modern man cut that emphasizes the attack, birth."

Does not resonate in a wide sweet spot? That's something I already don't like about normal VKM. Kind of a sharp, thin, shrill feel.

Both blades give a lot of "reversed spin" when chopping. Difficult to say which is better, i'd say the joo can reverse the spin more easily (if the loop is already spinny) whereas the VKM requires more work, but i think if you have good tecnique and arm/wrist speed the result is about the same. However, the VKM is surely better than the Joo at putting its own spin on the ball.
As we wrote in this thread many times, they are very different blades, the VKM is really soft and slow compared to the Joo, which is very hard. The feeling is completely different, and there's also a great gap in speed.

Could that mean that offensive blades could be really good for long pimples? Because a lot of them are hard and stiff?

Many off blades are indeed really good for pimples, mut you have to be able to control them because they are fast ;) And also, it's not easy to play with few spin generation on the LP side... you have to be very offensive/twiddle/be very good with the pips.

I recently got hold of a VKM and the first thing I noticed is that the handle is off to a side by a few millimeters from the center of the blade face. This is visible just by looking at it and even more clear by measuring. Has anyone else noticed this on their blade? Or did I get a bad QA one?

I stared at mine for a bit and it *might* be not perfectly symmetric, but it's really hard to tell with rubbers glued on and even if there is a bit of asymmetry, it's really nothing outrageous in my case.

Yes it happens because i found at least 2 of them among about 10 VKM i've seen. Definitely something that could bother a little some people :^) But for example a friend of mine claims he can't tell the difference...
