This was a disappointment from Donic. No wonder they finished manufacturing them.

Paired with the right set of rubbers, this blade can be categorized as an OFF- blade. There are some vibrations, but they are very minimal. On smashes, it feels awesome. Close to the table, touch shots are really linear and consistent. Away from the table (3-4 feet), it might lack some speed, but the speed of the rubber along with your stroke production can compensate for it. Serves are really easy to make short, and blocks are pretty good as well.
