Sports reviews of Butterfly 8270 Naifu Table Tennis RacketCustomer 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.
