Butterfly Nakama P-7 Penhold Table Tennis Racket (JP)

A good first racket for players taking up the Japanese penhold style.

• Blade: 5 wood plies; the all-wood build feels softer at impact, flexing slightly to hold the ball a little longer than blades reinforced with materials such as carbon
• Wakaba, 1.9 mm sponge: moderate speed and spin, ideal for intermediate play, and excellent spin for a high-control rubber
• Japanese penhold handle, with cork on top of the handle and on the back of the blade for comfort
• Rubber on one side only, as is traditional for Japanese penhold: forehand and backhand are both played with the same face, and the back of the blade is painted black
• Two 40+ (poly) balls included
• The rubber is fixed with permanent glue, meant to stay on for the life of the racket
