The Butterfly Harimoto Tomokazu 2000 ready-made racket, from the Japan Series, a great first racket for its balance between speed and spin, recommended for beginners learning the basic strokes. The blade has 5 plies and the handle is flared, concave in the center. The Pan Asia rubbers, on both sides and with 2.0 mm sponge, are ITTF-approved and prioritize control, with enough speed and spin.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%68
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Recommended for beginners only: the RR Score for this category goes up to 75. It may be great for what it is designed for, but it does not rank among the best in the sport.
