Version · 14 optionsNakama S-3Change

Ready-made Butterfly Nakama S-3 racket, a wood and carbon hybrid, with 5 wood plies and 2 carbon plies, which make the blade lighter, stronger and stiffer, with a larger sweet spot than pure wood. The Flextra rubbers, with a 1.9 mm sponge, give slightly more spin than speed, and the soft sponge holds the ball longer, which is good for learning the fundamentals. The handle is flared, concave in the center.

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.
