About Butterfly

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.

I have to make a response this time!!!

This is actually my first time to "write" review for Amazon.com. Please excuse my English and everything else. I want to let everyone knows what product they're actually buying.

ONE THING THAT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE IN THE VIDEO IS THAT: I said I returned them immediately after I received them, and I am actually showing the balls on the video because after I returned them, my club needed ping pong balls right away and the price went down to $24.99 so I bought another one immediately. (and same thing happened). Is it leagal to have the product different than advertised???

My conclusion for this product is that "it's your money, to me, I won't buy them again"

So make your decision, and good luck (you can return them to amazon anyways, but again, I won't do it)

Welcome to comment on anything, or ask more about this product (I will receive e-mail when customers comment on the review).

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, October 27, 2006

I don't understand how there could be 3-star and USTTA approved tournament ping-pong balls.
Its roundness is so poor that the ball gives ugly bounces and it flies very unsmooth.
What a waste for my 25 bucks!

Terrible, aweful, unplayable quality. These balls are lucky to be 1 star balls. I doubt the authenticity of this 3 star Butterfly markings. These balls will last forever because I cannot play with them. So irregular in bouncing. I have played the sport for over 25 years. Please beware. Don't buy the balls from Amazon. Get them from your usual Table Tennis equipment stores.
