What a beast
First off this paddle is delivered in a box just telling everyone because that one review saying it didn’t come in one.
I’ve been using my Senshu racket for about a month now. It took a little getting used to at first but once I got accustomed to it, I find it hard to play with any other racket. I can say that because of it my game has improved tremendously in all aspects: control, smash and speed. I can reach for balls that I never would have gone after before, my smashes are harder to return and my services carry a spin that is dificult to control by my opponents who feel that I’ve become a player not to take for granted. This being my first Butterfly paddle, not knowing if it’s a tradition with them, I find the handle to feel smaller than the Stiga or Sportcraft I had been using before. (This too, takes some getting used to). One point to be careful about is that the rubber is very fragile. I can tell how many times I have hit the paddle against the table because it carries the marks. Also, I play outside and as the game proceeds, the rubber gets dirty and its performance suffers. I clean it after every session. For this, I just use a soft sponge and minimal water. Sometimes, I add a little soap being careful not to wet the wood and then I remove the soap with a clean wet sponge again, letting it dry by waving it. I also clean the balls since dust and dirt affects their performance also. The Senshu is an excellent racket that I recommend to anyone starting to take table tennis seriously and not wanting to invest in the time, money and skills it takes to assemble separate blades and rubbers.

Best racket for myself
I was recently borrowing a friend’s Kenji racket, I loved it but I was still kinda off on my smashes. I tried to get the Kenji on Amazon but it was sold out.
I received this racket yesterday in the mail, and I immediately fell in love with it. It’s interesting that the first reviewer found this to be a lighter racket compared to the Carlos Chiu, for I found the Senshu to be heavier. In any event, I consider this racket to be the big brother to the Chiu. It’s definitely for the offensive player, for it’s wicked fast that produces killer slams. Getting use to it for defensive play will take some time, but once you do, you have one terrific racket and a very good price. Offensive players, give this racket a test run.

Great for the novice who wants to “up” their game.
I’m no pro at table tennis but I wanted a better paddle to advance my game. I love this paddle.
This is a great paddle for some one who knows what they are doing. If you haven’t developed your style yet and don’t have the control for spin and power, this isn’t the paddle for you. The smashes are fast and the spin is great, but I noticed that without spin it is very hard to keep it on the table because of the speed. It can be used defensively, which I am suprised at because it is an offensive paddle. This paddle is not for beginners, or even players who are just starting spin. Work on ball placement before getting this paddle or you won’t be able to keep it on the table.

A great Improvement
I played a lot from ages 10-14 and hadn’t really played since. I recently started again at age 41 with terrible knees.

Very good paddle
There really is a difference. I’ll never be able to go back to those less expensive ones that come as a set.
Worth buying.

Kenji’s big brother
It’s a Carlos Chiu with a lot less control or consistency.
I’ve been playing with this racket for about a month now and I’m really not a big fan.

sick @ss paddle
This paddle is pretty amazing definitely for the offensive player. Speed is rated at 100 and produces some killer slams with very heavy topspin a very good racket to upgrade to…

Good racket
I got back recently into table tennis, and my old racket was just not good enough for me to improve. So i did some research and this racket was fitting the bill.

good racket for the price
I was looking for a decent racket in the $50 range. This is a pretty good paddle for the price. Compared to the Carlos Chui, this one is slightly lighter but also has a bit less…
