Butterfly Nakama P‑4 – Japanese Penhold Racket for Intermediate Players

Part of the Nakama Series, the Butterfly Nakama P‑4 is a solid one‑ply Japanese penhold racket designed for accomplished recreational and intermediate players. Its durable one‑ply wood construction provides a well‑balanced feel for all‑round play, while the traditional cork handle ensures comfort and control.

Equipped with Flextra rubber, the P‑4 offers more spin than speed, making it ideal for learning the basics and developing consistent strokes. The softer sponge layer holds the ball longer, enhancing control and precision. The backside of the blade is painted black, following the traditional Japanese penhold design where rubber is applied only on one side.
