Donic Burn ALL+

Review:

I paired this blade with the Andro Rasant Powergrip FH and the Andro Rasant Grip BH. My experience with this bat was that when I was playing, the blade had a significant amount of vibration. Also, when the ball hit the bat, it made a hollow sound as if the bat was made from plain wood. However, the bat is powerful and I can also use it for blocking.

Very good blade in combination with Tibhar Genius Sound. Good control close to the table and at middistance. Far away from the table, this blade lacks some power. Overall, a very good blade.

Update: I now use some thinner rubbers, and the speed dropped very much. It’s a can-do-everything blade. Use faster, thicker rubbers for more speed while maintaining good control. Good attacks as well as good defense.

This blade turned out to be a real disappointment, as I quickly lost all control over my shots. Despite its light weight, it felt slow and sluggish. The only positive aspect I found was that my blocking improved slightly during rallies. However, I would not recommend this blade for competitive play. I am hoping that I can still return it.

This is one of the better blades in the ALL+ class. The FL grip feels outstanding, and the balance is very good. This blade can cover many bases. With slower, thin rubbers, it is very suitable for beginners. With thicker glue effect or tensor rubbers, it becomes fast and spinny, turning into a looping machine. Seal this blade when new with a water-based wood sealer. The sweet spot is average.

This blade is the right choice for beginners or loopers close/mid distance from the table and any player seeking a high-quality medium-speed blade at a good price point. Highly recommended.

I was very disappointed with the blade until I used it with Gambler Reflectoid on the forehand (FH) side and Giant Dragon Dragon’s Talon with a 40-degree 1-mm sponge on the backhand (BH).

It seems like the blade works well with soft and medium-soft rubbers. Even though it’s supposed to be extra slow, I was surprised that I could hit many winners with the Gambler Reflectoid.

I’m very happy with the blade now that I’ve beaten a very good player who used to thrash me every time my setup wasn’t close to perfect.

The blade offers exceptional control, allowing for precise and consistent shot-making. It’s a great choice for players prioritizing control over power.

I am more than a little puzzled by all the glowing reviews for this blade. It has a very odd feeling and sound (high pitched “ting” when hitting the ball) and is much faster than its all+ rating.

Although I thought it offered decent speed, control really suffered for me. The blade feels hard and unresponsive. I found it very “bouncy” and it seems to hit the ball long, no matter what stroke I use.

I play a loop-based attacking game from mid distance, so maybe it was just a bad fit for me. There are many better options out there at the same price, whether you are looking for an attacking or defensive blade.

This blade has significantly improved my overall game. It is consistent and offers exceptional control compared to other blades I have handled. When paired with Inspirit Quattro rubber, it transforms into the most versatile and well-rounded blade I have ever used.

Great for blocking and mid-distance loops. It can be a bit slow for long-distance loops.

Overall: Excellent feel and control, with medium speed.

Not as slow as I was hoping it would be. It also came in a bit heavier than the advertised 80g. Outside of that, feedback has been good, and I am improving with it. It’s a slightly faster blade than I was looking for, but totally manageable.

I’m looking for a control blade with a good feel and control. The Burn All+ didn’t disappoint me in that area. I use short pips or medium pips on my backhand. I’m not a typical pips user because I do backspin on my pips, and it’s very important to me that the blade has good feedback but not too much. I use medium-hard rubber on my forehand, such as Baracuda or 868 Kokutaku Tokyo or China. This blade really gives me the edge when it comes to blocking offensively or doing counter-loop spin or drive.

Some people don’t like the vibration, but I hand-picked my blade and chose the one that has less vibration. It has a good FL grip, wide and comfy, easy to change grip or flip, not slippery nor sticky. It’s a good-looking blade, one of the best blades DONIC has ever produced. I also tried the Burn OFF version, and the feeling is mutual. Actually, I will be getting the Burn OFF soon. I recommend this blade. It has both a low price and good quality.

This blade has some very interesting characteristics. I put Butterfly Super Anti on it, and it’s able to make smash hits that normally would never make it. It’s slow away from the table but makes good mid loops. It has amazing control for blocks off the table, and has decent attack possibilities (was using Cream with Transcend) but so far so good. It acts a lot like the Andro Kinetic series.

I’ve had this blade for a fair while but haven’t really used it in matches. My overall attack game has come on leaps and bounds, and now because of this I’ve taken up this faster, although very controlled blade. It gives that extra potency but remains very stable. My usual set-up is a defensive old blade, and I’m using Juic Neo Anti with Juic Spin Spiel. It’s very promising.
