Donic Appelgren Allplay Senso V1

Nice blade if you are looking for an all-around blade with very good control but less speed.

The Donic blade is a good choice for beginners. It offers a good balance of control and power, making it easy to learn the basics of table tennis.

This blade can be used by a wide range of players. It offers many gears depending on rubber selection and thickness. The ST grip is outstanding, being big and fat, which reduces hand strain over long playing sessions.

This flexible blade has very good speed reserves. It boasts great build quality and a nice balance with thick rubbers. Pair it with classic rubbers for strong all-around play or with tensors for more than enough speed and spin to win points in higher-level play. More players would benefit their game by using this class of blade.

It’s a great blade for looping close/mid distance. Pair it with thick Chinese tacky rubber for massive spin generation and good speed. Donic has crafted a very nice blade with this one.

Very flex, soft with good control. Fast enough to play close to the table.

I played with the Donic blade for five months but retired it, replacing it with a Yasaka Extra. But, I found the Donic blade had great control. However, as my play improved, I realized that I needed more speed on smashes. The Donic seemed slow in that regard. The root cause might be my form, but switching to the Yasaka blade helped, I think. I could still play with this blade anytime.

Please note that I am not an expert in this field.

This is one of the best blades to start a career in table tennis. The control is above the standard. Even though the speed isn’t very high, it is possible to smash or make variations in the playing style. It doesn’t perform well in blocking, but this is a subjective impression. I used it with two standard Dinic Vario and then with Donic Platin Soft.

This is my first blade, and I think it’s the best control blade ever.

It is great, especially with an anatomical handle.
