August 5, 2016 – Announcement of “custom-racket” service cancelled.

Butterfly has cancelled custom-racket (special made blade) service due to an increased quantity of custom rackets being requested for resale. The original purpose was to provide a custom crafted racket to an individual. The service was not intended for resale of the rackets. Butterfly apologizes deeply and regrets having to suspend the custom-racket service.

Butterfly shows once again that they don't give a damn about their customers. Horrible, greedy company.

Here is an example. I bought one for $257. I turned out I was not real happy with the blade (the handle came quite differently from what I had expected). So I sold it to some guy in London for pretty much what I paid for it. He immediately put it for sale on EBay. For 600 Euros!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a real a$$ ^^^^ does that.

Something does not add up with the reason they give. Why would they care whether they're sold to individuals or sold for resale? It's a sale for them either way.
If it's not profitable for them (a more likely reason), why not up the price till it's profitable, which seems more their style. :oops: I'm certainly NOT encouraging for Butterfly to increase prices on anything :o :lol: , just pointing out that their reasons don't make sense to me.

Its more likely that they want to reduce a section of their production and need an excuse to justify their decision.

For what it's worth, Nittaku and Yinhe also custom-make blades.
