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. |

excellent |
|
Best racket for the money, went from winning 60% of matches to 90% of matches against the same people. Great accuracy, good spin, started hitting my spots better the first time I played with it. |

Solid racquet for the price |
|
The Butterfly Brian Pace racket is overall a good racket. I am a slice defensive player and this is a good racket for defense. If you are a player that uses excessive spin you should probably not purchase this racket, though. It does not get much spin. Overall it is a solid racket for beginner to intermediate players and is a good racket for the money. |

Average Blade |
|
This is a very average blade and I just found this out when I got to try out my instructors m. maze carbon butterfly racquet. It made this one feel ridicously weak. The pace raquet is a good one for beginners, but now I feel like I have to put all my energy into hitting the shots when the carbon one just zooms the ball back with just a tap. Once you get to playing ranked players, it might be a good idea to switch to one with better 'feel'. |

Thin blade and slow rubber |
|
The racket may be suited for beginners, but if you are even an average player dont look at buying this. The blade is thin, and the Stayer Rubber ain't that fast. Not something what I was looking for. |

Review by Novice Player |
I selected the Brian Pace model becasue from its description I thought it would best suit the type of game I seem to be developing: a spin-oriented strategy that incorporates hard smashes only when they get handed to me. I use a lot of topspin and loop shots, along with the occasional backspin dropshot.
This racket seems to suit that style very well. The ball gets a lot of bite on the rubber and the sweet spot seems large. It's also very well made, especially considering its modest $40 cost. A good value, and I'm very pleased with it. |
