Sports reviews of Butterfly 8292 Shido (Japanese Penhold) Table Tennis RacketCustomer Review: Be careful playing all out Sport shop rating: 3 StarsThis is a great paddle for making desperate shots. Shots from a distance take a little bit of uumph to get over the net, but its worth having those shots drop right over the net. For up close play its good at returning shots and having them go right where you want them.
The one negative I have about this paddle is its extremely weak. I've only had it about a month and I've put several dents in it. The layers of maple cracked on one side and split apart after I hit the table once. So all i have to say is if you're a serious player you probably don't have to worry about hitting the table, but if you're an amateur enthusiast be careful of making wild shots because this isn't exactly the most durable of paddles lol.
