Donic Balsa Carbo Fleece

I recently purchased the DONIC BALSA CARBO FLEECE blade. While it may not quite reach the level of OFF+, it is certainly faster than most OFF blades.

Initially, I paired the blade with a T05 Hard on the forehand (FH) and a Donic Bluestorm Z1 on the backhand (BH). However, I quickly discovered that the BH setup was uncontrollable.

I maintained the T05H on FH but switched to a T05 FX on BH. The Donic Bluestorm Z3 is another potential option for BH.

This blade generates tremendous power and spin, providing very little time for your opponent to respond. It is best suited for players who focus on timing and finesse rather than feeling the ball on contact.

When you achieve good timing, racket angle, and very thin contact, the ball reaches your opponent before you fully grasp the danger you’ve created.

Other key features of the blade include excellent speed, a large sweet spot, a lightweight construction, affordability, and durability.
