I have mixed emotions about this blade. At 85g, it has a good weight, and the handle is very comfortable. It has good control, and the speed is not bad. The first tournament I played with this blade, I ended up winning Class A singles (U2300). It’s also the first carbon blade I’ve found that plays well with short pips.
All of those things said, I feel like it lacks a little bit in the power department. It does have a certain amount of vibration that I usually like to have, but it just feels like it could be a little more powerful. That being said, it’s a very good blade overall. Do make sure you put edge tape on it because it can get damaged easier than some blades if you hit the edge against the table.
Quite fast, but control is less than optimal for me personally (I prefer the Donic ALL+).
I initially thought this blade would be suitable for me. However, it produces many vibrations, which I found unpleasant. It’s possible that this is due to my previous experience with balsa blades, creating a significant difference.
I tested the blade with Donic Coppa X1 Platin on the forehand side and Donic Acuda S3 on the backhand side, both with 2.0 thickness. Despite the vibrations, I found the blade to have good control and average speed, placing it in the OFF-/ALL+ category.
Ultimately, whether or not this blade is suitable for you depends on your personal preference regarding blade vibrations.
