Andro Wanokiwami Midori DEF

Blade description:

This blade is a specialized defensive tool designed to provide a balanced transition between defensive stability and offensive utility. It functions as a performance-oriented alternative to traditional defensive blades, offering a playing experience positioned between the Donic Defplay Senso V3 and the Butterfly Joo Sae Hyuk.

Playing Characteristics

  • Construction: This is an all-wood blade.
  • Performance: The blade offers a high degree of control, specifically suited for defenders who require precision. Despite its primary defensive nature, it provides sufficient speed to execute effective, fast topspins.
  • Versatility: The feel is balanced, accommodating a wide range of setups, from soft rubbers on the forehand to long pips OX or thin-sponge setups on the backhand.
  • Ergonomics: Users may find the handle design distinct from classic defensive blades like the Matsushita Pro, which may require a brief adjustment period for players transitioning from older, traditional models.

On FH I play Donic Bluegrip C2, earlier C1 and H3; on BH, Tibhar Grass on custom 1.5 sponge 55 hard. Midori is a blade between Donic Defplay Senso and Butterfly Joo Se Hyuk. Nice balance between attack and defense.

It’s a very nice blade, very well done. The control is very good, and the speed is enough to play fast topspins. It’s not as slow as other defensive blades. I play with a soft rubber on the forehand and with OX on the backhand, and this combination works very well!
