Sports reviews of Butterfly 8296 Kansei (Japanese Penhold) Table Tennis RacketCustomer Review: Racket for all levels ! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Design and comfort : 8/10
The racket has three layer plywood, and power and feel is there. Handle is comfortable. The racket has a more round and wider surface comparing to traditional Japanese Pen style tacket. It makes it easy to hit in the central racket. Overall weight is very light, around 81 grams.
Strokes and control: 9/10
Butterfly rubber defintely makes a difference even on this low price racket. The rubber is very soft and makes ball pocketing so much easier. With more ball pocketing, it makes spin easy, more time to control, and ball feel is there. I tend to swing very fast, and other rackets dont have this soft rubber to have more spin. With the extra spin, any fast swing ball can be kept in. Great for all levels, even for fast swing tennis players.

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.
