PROS: All materials are high quality (zipper, handle, strap, shell, inside material). The case is aesthetically pleasing. It provides protection from elements and from accidental dings and drops. CONS: NOT as hard as it looks (the shell is made of a strange material that has enough give to classify it as a "not-quite-hard case"). The elastic strap that holds down the racket is awkwardly placed and partially touches the bottom of the rubbers. It is difficult to get out your racket without touching the rubbers Overall it is a great case, but don't be fooled: the shell is not as hard as it seems!

As the case's name implies, it actually is hard. However, it's not as robust in real life as online pictures make it out to be. The pictures make it seem like it's a really thick, hard plastic. Personally, I have no idea what it is (some sort of a woven cloth covers the shell), but it does have some give to it unlike what I expected. Anyway, the first function of _any_ case is primarily for the sake of protecting your racket from exposure to the environment (air hurts typical paddle rubber slowly over time), and this case does that. What it also does is the best job of performing the secondary function--that is, protection from accidental force-induced damage. The shell does make a difference, regardless that it's not as strong as it looks from pictures. Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth it relative to the almost-uselessly soft and bag-like other "cases", especially considering every single component, from the carrying strap to the inside mesh pouch and paddle-securing band, is high-quality.

I'm a recreational player who plays whenever I can find a table. I was leary at first after seeing what other brands offer at $12.99 but saw that this was rated 100-speed 100-spin and 70-control and had to see if I was getting more for my money. I did. Got it in the mail and had some people over the same night and did really well with it and it definitely outperformed the paddles I've gotten at Sports Authority, Dick's and all the other sporting goods stores that were priced twice as much. MK makes some good stuff for a fraction of the price of Butterfly brands. Highly recommended.

I got this paddle for my boyfriend and he loves it. He is a very good recreational player and can't stop talking about all the different kinds of shots that he can hit with this paddle. He plays tennis so he put an old overgrip on the handle. It looks kind of funny but it works for him.

This paddle is very well balanced and somewhat sturdy. In this certain place I go to play ping ping, these Tsunami Paddles are offered to those players who dont have their own. It has pretty good spin for a pre assembled paddle and it isn't too heavy. Good bang for the buck. Great paddle to start playing and learning with although Im not a big fan of pre assembled paddles.

The idea of paying less than twenty bucks for a table tennis racket, well, most of us occasionally serious players really wouldn't want to experiment with it. I mean, the more money one spends, the better his game should be, right? So why buy a $19 racket when you can buy one for a hundred bucks or more? I wanted to see what this could do. The one thing I noticed about this paddle is the control. Much better than any other racket I own. I like to spin the ball. A lot! But I do give up control by purchasing and using those rackets. This one spins but still, I have far more control over where I want to put the ball. Even more control on returning slams. I am impressed and will be using this a lot.

Good solid intermediate TT racket for both defensive and offensive play. Racket is light enough for quick response. Rubber produces enough spin for good control without excessive effort. Racket construction absorbs energy making return shots more predictable.

This was a promotion from standard issue rackets that came with the ping pong table. Ever since I have had this, the quality of my serves, shots and rally's have improved significantly. The amount of spin I get is phenomenal. Also it helps me have better control over where my shots and returns are placed especially with high top-spins. Overall it has motivated me to play the game more often that I have done before.

This racket is only good for beginners, that is, children starting to play table tennis, and adults playing for fun. If you wish to start playing table tennis on a slightly more advanced level, then the purchase of this racket should be skipped.

I bought the Naifu for my son who is beginning to play the sport and not to borrow racket from the gym. I like the feel of the flared handle. This is good racket to begin with becuase it has good control and consistency. Lets you work with your hitting form and power - therefore not depending much on the speed of the rubber but swing of the user. Great for beginners.

Speed: This paddle is a bit on the slow side. Control: The control is excellent. Spin: Spin is medium. I think this is a good beginners paddle for those who don't rely too much on spin.

This is a really nice paddle for beginners. my friend bought the exact same thing because he liked my paddle too. this paddle is not so sticky though... and it is not too soft or too hard. good for control indeed. the only problem is that it wont give a good spin. it has a really nice color combination, light and easy to handle. i would recommend beginners to start with this paddle. advanced players might want to get something depending on what they need.

Very good for the price and quality. Highly recommend!!! - you can feel the difference in spinning and attack...

I'm disappointed with this racket because , its too light and just doesnt feel enough for a intermediate level player like me.. This bat is suitable for beginners only.

It is not a racket for advanced players. This racket is not good for spin.

Awesome case. Fits my Butterfly Senshu paddle perfectly. I like how the inside protects the rubber with a nice, soft interior.

This case does a decent job in protecting your TT racket. The zipper is smooth and the cushioning is fairly ok to give adequate protection. However, if you are having a slightly over-sized racket or a thick handle, this case might be a bit too tight. It would have been great if this case had a strap. Overall good value for money and Amazon as ever shipped it super fast!

I suppose like the other reviewer said, a hard case would be best to protect your paddle, but also more expensive. I like the look of this case, and its well made. I'm certainly no "case-expert", but I'm happy with this one.

The Butterfly is a normal TT racket case with a foam protective layer. It protects the racket from typical dust and rubbing about on things but if you have a nice racket, a hard case is recommended.
