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 Reviews :
I bought this as a cheap backup for my main. (2.1mm Butterfly Tenergy 05 rubber on a Butterfly Grubba Carbon blade) it is obviously not nearly as good as the custom, but it is very good for a low end bat. i've had it now for about two months, cleaning it after every use, and it is still in excellent shape. could use a bit more grip and cushion, but it serves its purpose well. highly recommended to beginners and those looking for a cheap backup bat. be sure to keep your bats clean and protected in a case in order to prolong their lives.
Good Beginner - Intermediate Racket - Anon Me -
Good for beginners and developing players. Not as much spin or speed as more expensive paddles but the control is pretty good and is decent for recreational play.

This paddle used to be my excalibur - Craig Young - PA
After using the usual pips out hard paddle, i was starting to want to up grade to the more intermediate kind of bats. i realized that the better players where i played in college were using them. i bought the sweeris and realized it was a lot different then the run of the mill hard paddle. getting used to it was easy, and i was then able to get my game to a higher level. I honestly think though that do to the sweeris not having as much offense as it does defense, turned me into a more defensive player. just remember when looking at different paddles that this one is definately a defensive paddle. if you are a begginer i would recommend getting it though. i feel it is worth the money, and also worth it if you feel that you are leaning more towards defense. as cool as this sounds i used to call this paddle excalibur! BUTTTTTT now that i use my friends carlos chui, i call that paddle nexcalibur. there is no comparrison between the 2. the sweeris is for defense, and the chui is for offense. i also have used a bunch of paddles from butterfly, but these 2 are my personal favorite. i have been playing for probably only 4-5 years now, and its been a while since i used the sweeris. i am only writing this message to pay homage to a great defensive paddle. hope this helped someone.
