Clumpy matcha is almost always a sifting problem, not a whisking one. A small fine-mesh stainless sifter breaks up the powder before it touches water, so your chasen can focus on building foam instead of chasing lumps. It costs a couple of dollars, cleans in seconds, and pulls double duty for dusting cocoa or powdered sugar. The single best small upgrade after a proper whisk.
