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: Need to improve? Naifu is for you!
I started playing a year ago and I’ve been playing with a Stiga Ultimate which has a 2.2 mm sponge. I wanted to work more on technique because I had been relying on spin too much. With the 2.2 mm sponge I was sending the ball long when I started to try looping so I figured I’d try the Naifu with the 1.5 mm sponge. It is MUCH easier to control the ball. I can give nice forehand or backhand looping stroke and keep the ball on the table. It’s also easier to return a smash with the Naifu because of the thin sponge and lack of strong spin. The downside is that the spin and speed I was relying on in my offensive game to force my opponent to make a mistake is almost non-existent with the Naifu. I played with it for about 50 games and when I switched back to the 2.2 mm sponge, my game was A LOT better. Bottom line - use the Naifu to work on technique but keep your ego in check - you won’t win too many matches against an experienced opponent but it definitely will help you to improve your game.
Customer Review: this is a great starting paddle
this is probably one of the best table tennis beginner bats there is. its alittle heavy but not enough to slow you down. the spin is ok and so is the speed. if you play close to the table then this paddle isnt good for you but if you play mid-distance then it should be a good one. the speed is ok too, the control is the best part. even if you arent that skilled ,you can still put the ball anywhere on the table you want easyily.
