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. |

Great balls |
|
I recently bought a Butterfly TR40 match play rollaway table from Americancivilwar. I had not played table tennis since my late twenties, back before they changed the game. But I definitely need more exercise and I wanted to get my family involved in this wonderful indoor game. So, we needed some balls and lots of them so we do not slow down play because we are chasing after the miss-hit balls. After a month there are a few stray balls around the family room, but not one has broken during play. They do break if stepped on or bounce irregularly in that case. We measured the bounce on the table and all seemed up to specs of 23 cm from a 30 cm drop. All the balls play the same as far as we can tell. All are round and bounce the same. These are great balls, very consistent and durable, but our bucket is still 2/3 full so not all have been tested. 3 stars U.S.A.T.T. approved 40 mm. A fantastic deal at $28. |

Good value for the money |
|
A month later and I am still playing on the first ball. There was some concern about quality with 72 balls in a plastic bag. The balls bounce and sound fine so concerns averted. |

|
this is not standard practice ball |
|
rememeber this is USATT approved and not ITTF approved - the balls are terrible - bad shape, light and everything else that can go wrong - so if you are a serious player please do not buy these balls. But if you are a basement player then this may be a good deal. |

The balls are very light and I wonder it meets the 3 star standard/ I am ver dissapointed. |

Excellent Balls; on my second set |
I have a Robo Pong 2040 so these balls are an economical choice for me. I don't really understand where this negative feedback is coming from. I just received my second bucket of balls (my first was purchased over a year ago and the balls were fine). I personally bounced each ball and served it into the machine's reservoir; all 72 balls bounced evenly.
I purchased the balls directly from Americancivilwar both times, perhaps this is the reason for the inconsistent reviews? Either way, I am loving the value of these! This second set should mean I'll be able to practice much longer before having to pick up loose balls. :) |
