## Description

The Butterfly B401 Shakehand Table Tennis Racket is designed to offer a great foundation of speed and spin. The 5-ply construction offers a medium feel for sufficient power and touch. Yuki has a slightly hard sponge and its tacky surface offers a bit more spin than speed. The tacky surface imparts a nice amount of spin on all shots. PLEASE NOTE: Like most recreational rackets, this racket is assembled with a glue that is intended to keep the rubber permanently attached to the wood for the life of the racket. If you prefer to have the ability to upgrade the rubber when it becomes worn, please check out our Pro-Line models. Did You Know? More World Class Players Trust Butterfly Than Any Other Brand - At the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, 99.8% of the participants were surveyed regarding their individual blade and rubber usage. Of those surveyed, Butterfly blades were used by 56.6% of the participants while the other 43.4% consisted of 11 different brands.

Review: Won a tournament with it. Out of 500 people! - Best paddle ever! First let me open with the fact that I won a tournament with this paddle. Out of 500 people. This paddle goes great with a person who plays fast and relies on spin. It rewards in victory!! I got this for Christmas a year ago. It has barely worn. This version is better than all other butterfly version. The rubber is superb and the accuracy is absolutely AMAZING!! My friends get pretty frustrated when they play me. The speed is not too fast but still fast enough to get people to run. Every time I was this paddle it acts like brand new!! Spin is the best!! My dad got a custom made paddle and now wants my version. You can’t beat the price! Like ever!!
Review: Very good spin and control, but lower speed - This is the first paddle costing more than about $10 that I've ever bought. Many of my coworkers who I play with like Butterfly paddles, so I figured I would go for one of these. The well-made soft carrying case that comes with it is a nice bonus for me. It's a very nice paddle. Significantly heavier than a cheap lightweight one, which I find helps me control it. The rubber is very sticky and soft, which gives me an amazing amount of spin and control. In particular, I am able to return smashes and execute loopy top-spin shots far better than I have ever been able to before. However, this paddle also deadens the ball in terms of speed. I really have to smash it hard to get much speed out of the ball. For me this is a good thing, since I have a lot of trouble with control with harder paddles, but some players might not like it. Overall, I'm very happy with this paddle, but as I said I don't have a lot of experience to make good comparisons with other products. I think just about any beginner or intermediate player would be very happy with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can the included cover accommodate 2 rackets? say this racket and Stiga Pro Carbon?**
A: Dear Akshay     No unfortately, it does not.  It is just a very small "head" case.  Designed to fit just one racket.  If you end up buying this from us, we can process your order and give you a "generic" double case at no charge, as long as you don't mind red color.   Ben

**Q: Are both sides Pimples in??**
A: Yes.  Tacky smooth rubber on both sides.  Gets good spin though.  Pips out is used defensively for reducing opponent's spin.

**Q: Does it come with the case**
A: Yes. It comes with a full case.

**Q: Does the paddle made in Japan?**
A: Made in China Japanese rubber.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ suprisingly good racket!
*by M***R on June 12, 2010*

I have several Butterfly rackets (Senshu, Carlos Chiu, Kodo, Kioshi, Naifu) so I have used a decent variety of paddle to comnpare the 401 Yuki to. I was actually looding to buy the Kenji to add to my collection, but I came across this paddle and decided to chyeck it out as it was $12 cheaper than the Kenji. Of the paddles I own, the Senshu is my favorite and it was not cheap at arounf $70. When I found this racket I was skeptical of it because of the cheap price ($35), but I decided to take a chance and order it and worst case I can use it a practice racket so I don't ding up my Senshu too bad. The racket came in a day earlier than expected and I was pleasantly surprised. The racket uses Butterfly Yuki rubber onboth sides. My Senshu racket uses Flextra rubber and the Yuki rubber on this racket feels as sticky, though not quite a powerful as the flextra. The tape on the side of the racket is a very nicenylon ribbon material and it gives the racket a classy look. In play, the racket is ver well balanced with great spin and control, making this an ideal racket for the intermediate player. It also has 2.1 mm rubber which gives it a little extra "oomph" on slams. Overall, I am very hapy with this racket, while not as fast as my Senshu, it is half the price of that racket and has 9/10's the performance.
