About Butterfly
 |
Hikosuke Tamasu founded Tamasu Co., Ltd. in the small town of Yanai City, Japan in 1950. This was the beginning of a company career which is almost unique in table tennis. A renowned international for Japan, Tamasu fulfilled his dream of a lifetime when he made his hobby his profession. At that time, he could hardly imagine that he would make Butterfly the leading brand worldwide. Creativity, durability, and a profound technical knowledge meant success. 0ver and over again he looked for new possibilities in order to optimize techniques by innovative playing material. Tamasu realized that each player is different and has strengths and weaknesses. By offering individual playing material Tamasu wanted to help players right from the beginning to emphasize their individuality. Since 1983 Butterfly has its own training and research center in Tokyo. Highly qualified scientists co-operate with world class players and coaches for the development of rubber and blade technology. Butterfly’s rubbers and blades are used by more than half of the participants at World and European Championships.
Customer Review: Great Step Up From Beginner Play
If you’re ready to step up from the simple paddles you got with your table or in a set with a net, this is the paddle to get. The “Derek May” type of Butterfly paddle is thick and squishy. The paddle takes a lot of speed off of the ball so you are able to put the ball where you want on the table. It has nice spin on it too. The paddle teaches you to be a bit more gentel with your shots and more percise with your placement. When switching from this paddle to a more “powerfull” paddle, I noticed that I was able to place the ball on the table easier. It’s a great paddle by a great company.
Customer Review: Excellent
For $25 I thought this was a very nice paddle. I am an amateur player, I didn’t want to spend too much, so I was hesitant about buying it. But after I got it, I was glad I got it. The sponge is pretty thick, and the rubber is awesome, a lot of spin! Which is what I expect in a paddle. So, buy this it’s a very nice paddle.
