Butterfly Nakama P‑6 – Japanese Penhold Racket for Intermediate Players

Part of the Nakama Series, the Butterfly Nakama P‑6 is a well‑balanced Japanese penhold racket designed for accomplished recreational and intermediate players. Constructed with 5 plies of wood, it offers a softer feel at impact compared to carbon‑reinforced paddles, making it ideal for players who value control and consistency.

Equipped with Flextra rubber, the P‑6 emphasizes spin over speed. Its softer sponge layer holds the ball longer, enhancing control and precision—perfect for learning the basics and refining technique. The backside of the blade is painted black, following the traditional Japanese penhold design where rubber is applied only on one side.
