External Review for Nittaku Kasumi Basic on September 29, 2014

During the early 1990s, I won several tournaments playing with the original Butterfly Power Drive blade paired with Yasaka Mark V rubber. After recently, joining a league in order to pick the sport back up again, I was disappointed to learn that Butterfly no longer made the original Power Drive blade anymore. I tried a few different blade/rubber combinations, but never could gain much consistency. Utilizing this website along with ratings from Paddle Palace, I found this blade to have almost the same qualities as my original Power Drive. I purchased this blade with Mark V 2.0 on both sides. I was blown away by how much my game improved. Excellent dwell time, great speed, superb control are just a few of the great qualities of this blade. I was able to make all my shots with much greater consistency and accuracy. You can't beat the price, especially compared to Butterfly's prices. It seems most of the players in my league are on the Butterfly blade/Tenergy band wagon. I will keep this 5ply wood blade and "classic" rubber combination as long as I am able to play. No need to purchase more expensive blades or rubbers. This combination has it all. Brittany can't be beat when it comes to the value and quality of their blades. Excellent product!
