Butterfly Nakama S‑8 – Great Speed and Better Spin for Advanced Play

Part of the Nakama Series, the Butterfly Nakama S‑8 is designed for advanced players who want reliable offensive performance with excellent spin and speed. Constructed with 5 plies of wood, the blade offers a softer feel at impact, flexing slightly to hold the ball longer compared to carbon‑reinforced blades.

Equipped with Flextra rubber (1.9 mm sponge), the S‑8 emphasizes spin with balanced speed. The softer sponge layer holds the ball longer, making it ideal for players who want to generate consistent spin while maintaining control in offensive rallies.
