Sports reviews of Butterfly 8292 Shido (Japanese Penhold) Table Tennis RacketCustomer Review: Butterfly Shido Penhold Table Tennis Racket Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My wife uses the penhold and I use the handshake grip. Previously, we both used the handshake rackets until a gentleman noticed her grip and offered to loan her his new penhold racket to try out. Needless to say, she loved the feel and we immediately searched the Internet for the same racket and bought it. It has made a huge difference, especially that she is a tiny person with small hands and this made the grip much more natural and comfortable for her. The only drawback is that this racket is covered with rubber on the front side only. She is planning on buying another penhold racket for her collection with rubber on both sides.

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.
