The Butterfly Kodo is a good paddle that provides good speed, good spin, and decent control. If you are a beginner or intermediate level player then this is a good buy. However, if you are an upper-intermediate to expert level player, and if you want to take your game to the next level I would suggest looking into the pro series which offer lighter paddles. Lighter paddles offer better control but also cost more. Overall, considering the price you pay, the Butterfly Kodo is a good paddle for the casual/beginner and intermediate player.
I am skilled at table tennis, but I don’t consider myself a high-end expert. This is a “racket” or paddle that has a high quality rubber face designed to help a player put additional spin on the ball thru a softer texture and a tacky, almost sticky, finish. Performs admirably, enhances control over spin. If I said it felt much more comfortable than a cheaper racket, I’d be exaggerating. Also, for the price, I would expect to see a nicer finish on the wood laminations. Heck, it resembles cheap luan plywood, to tell the truth. But since play performance is the main objective, this paddle gives added enjoyment. At $35 each, is it two to four times more enjoyable than a cheaper paddle? That’s debatable. But if you play table tennis enough, and take care of your equipment, this should pay for itself in added pleasure.
