Donic BalsaCarbo Fibre

My blade weighs 81g, and its concave handle fits perfectly in my hand. In gameplay, I immediately feel secure in all situations. The speed is in the upper middle range, and with appropriate rubbers (medium to hard), you can act quite offensively.

For me, the feeling is a bit too soft and indirect. Therefore, I prefer blades with more directness and a little more speed to work with medium-hard rubbers.

I got this blade yesterday. It’s an all+ off- blade that offers great control. If you are a modern topspin looper who likes to open on the third ball and yet have decent control while blocking, this is a good option. This blade is one of the most recent ones in the market and works really well.

If you’re a player that has a high speed hand/arm action, I’d suggest you go for this blade. However, if you want a blade that is faster and your game depends more on timing and driving, this blade might not work well for you. I have Tibhar Aurus Select on the backhand and Andro Rasanter 47 on the forehand. This combination works amazingly well for me. The topspins are really spinny and have a medium throw angle. If you have a decent enough technique, forehand drives are very effective as well. Whereas Aurus Select offers a slightly more spin than speed and works perfectly well for backhand blocks. If you’re thinking of buying this blade, I’d definitely recommend you go for the above rubber combination.

This is a very linear offensive blade. It provides enough dwell time but not much catapult effect. Both short game and attacking strokes (loops, drives, and topspins) are easy to execute.

I see it as a good hybrid between a hard outer surface all-wood blade and a balsa-carbon blade. However, it requires some adjustment time because you probably have never experienced such a unique feeling.
