Rackets
Complete table tennis rackets, ready to play out of the box — no gluing and no choosing rubbers.
Two genuinely different things sit here, and it is worth knowing which you are buying. A factory pre-made bat is a single sealed product: the rubbers are part of it and are not intended to be replaced, which is what keeps it simple and affordable. An assembled setup is a real blade with real rubbers glued to it — the same components sold separately, put together for you. The second can be re-rubbered indefinitely and the blade outlives several sets of sheets; the first is a bat you replace whole.
Buy for the player, not the specification sheet. A recreational bat uses a slower sponge and a more forgiving surface, which is exactly what somebody learning to keep the ball on the table needs; a faster bat makes that harder, not easier. Rackets built for competition assume a stroke that is already there.
If you already know which blade and rubbers you want, buy them apart instead — the blades and rubbers collections are where a custom racket starts. For a first table at home, a set that pairs bats, balls and a net is usually better value.

Butterfly Nakama P6 Japanese Penhold Table Tennis Racket - Great Racket For Accomplished Recreational Players - Nakama Series - Includes 2 40+ Balls - Recommended For Intermediate Level Players
The Butterfly Nakama P6 Japanese Penhold Table Tennis Racket is constructed of 5 layers of wood. The all-wood composition of this racket offers a softer feel at impact compared to paddles made with a reinforcing material such as carbon fibre. Flextra is a terrific intermediate level rubber with a bit more spin than speed. The softer sponge layer of Flextra will 'hold' the ball longer making it ideal for learning the basics. The backside of the blade is painted black as traditional Japanese penhold rackets are constructed with rubber on only one side of the blade surface. Both forehand and backhand shots are executed using the same side of the paddle.
- Blade Construction: 5-Ply Wood
- Handle: Japanese Penhold - Cork Mounted On Top Of Handle & Back Of Blade For Comfort
- Rubber: Flextra | Sponge Thickness (mm): 1.7
- Comes with two 40+ (poly) balls
- International Table Tennis Federation Approved
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 Series.

Butterfly Nakama P1 Japanese Penhold Table Tennis Racket - Our Most Popular Rubber Of All Time With Carbon fibre Power - Nakama Series - Includes 2 40+ Balls - Recommended For Advanced Level Players
The Butterfly Nakama P1 Japanese Penhold Table Tennis Racket is a hybrid of wood and carbon fibre layers. The wooden surface outer plies are followed by a thin layer of carbon fibre. The addition of the carbon fibre will make the blade lighter, stronger and stiffer. This provides a larger sweet spot than an all-wood blade and will therefore be more consistent. Sriver is an excellent all-around attacking rubber, good spin and even better speed. Sriver was the dominant rubber for more than 25 years. The backside of the blade is painted black as traditional Japanese penhold rackets are constructed with rubber on only one side of the blade surface.
