5Decent Product  Sep 07, 2008
Bought this as an upgrade to a $4 paddle. I'm no expert, but been using it for months and nothing to complain about.

Decent all-rounder at an affordable price.

5Very good  May 14, 2008
I've used 2 other butterfly rackets (Yuki-FL and Brian Pace). The Shikata is, in my opinion, better than both. It is lighter than the Yuki and has a much better 'crisp' feel when hitting the ball than the brian pace, which feels and sounds 'hollow'. The anatomic handle is very comfortable, although there is not much difference when compared to the flared handle. Overall an amazing racket.

4Very solid racket for the price  May 13, 2008
This racket is a great all-around racket. It's very durable and the ball comes off very consistently, regardless of where on the racket you hit it. It's got enough power for solid drives and smashes, enough spin for decent chops, and it's a decent defender.

I've played a large number of Butterfly rackets (Seemiller, Chiu, Kenji) and this is still one of my favorites. It's VERY similar to the Seemiller (another favorite, obviously) but it's got a bit more power and in my head, it seems like it's got a touch more spin. If you play more of a defensive game, go with the Seemiller. If you're strictly offense, get the much higher-powered and higher-spin Carlos Chiu. I love this one for its all-around, slightly offensive prowess.

And heck, even though mine's over two years old, I can still be competitive with it when I break my newer, more expensive rackets.

4Good Paddle  Feb 25, 2008
This paddle plays nice. For me, it added a noticeable amount of spin to my shots. The price I got it for was great. This is good for anyone who is beginning to take their game more seriously

4Good racket but not one of the best.  Dec 12, 2007
I like my racket. If you are not a professional player, this is a very good racket. If you want to play more professionally, I would prefer butterfly senshu.
