Great chopper's blade with nice feel, touch and control in defensive shots! If you like to loop and smash choose regular, special, offensive or ZC version. All of them will be better in that category, but when it comes to chop this blade is the best!!! If you need the best from both: defense and offense game choose Regular or Special version.

I'll say right away that I've used two Victas Koji Matsushita (defense) table tennis racket bases, an older one and a newer one. These two racket bases have different playing characteristics. The newer racket base has a very high vibration. It was quite a struggle to get used to it during the first training session! Secondly, the introduction to the racket base states that all Koji Matsushita racket bases are handmade without exception! I don't believe it, handmade racket bases are still of much better quality.
The newer version simply requires a lot of getting used to, although in terms of playing feel, this base is one of the best, the feel, the control is absolutely top-notch in the world.
I'll make a new comment here in half a year and then give a final assessment of this racket base.

1- It is lightweight and does not tire the wrist like other heavy defense knives.
It is 2-Controlled, The outer layers are quite soft and provide a flexible touch, but the core is hard.
3-Long dough with sponge, without sponge, you can also easily play with short dough.
4-You can easily attack according to the tire you will use on the forehand.

VKM Defensive, straight handle - 80g, 166x155. Not that slow! I was expecting a super slow blade but it is not much slower than VKM. At first, the feeling is a bit surprising : thin and quite stiff racket, with some flex but still on the hard side to me. Chopping both wings is super comfortable and stable, as expected, so as short game. I am also quite satisfied with topsins in general. In fact, nothing wrong with this racket, except that I am not used to its feeling yet, coming from very soft touch and more flexible defensive blades... I will continue testing it for sure. // Update 2023.11 : I moved to this blade, coming from Stiga's Defensive Pro. I really love VKM Defensive since it is even more stable at chopping without loosing any offensive possibilities. I am now used to its feeling, perfectly balanced. Outer plies are pretty soft and give a flexible touch, but the core is stiff and hard, allowing endless topspins when needed. I never felt that this blades lacked of speed whereas its stability and control are hudge. Rubbers currently glued and definitely adopted are : Curl P1V 0,5mm and V20 Double Exrta 2mm.
