The Butterfly Harimoto Tomokazu 1800 Kids Shakehand Racket is designed to offer a great foundation for novice level players who are learning the basic strokes and is designed for kids or adults who need a smaller handle. The racket head is also smaller so the racket is considerably lighter and easier to maneuver. Addoy rubber offers a high degree of control and good spin. Addoy is perfect for those just getting started. PLEASE NOTE: Like most recreational rackets, this racket is assembled with a glue that is intended to keep the rubber permanently attached to the wood for the life of the racket. If you prefer to have the ability to upgrade the rubber when it becomes worn, please check out our Pro-Line models. Did You Know?
