Donic Burn OFF-

All-wood

13 Reviews

#1 — October 2020

An amazing blade for general play with no outstanding features. Matches well with Palio Hadou (for advanced players) or Tibhar MX-S (for beginners) rubbers.

Stiffer blades are best for the poly ball in my opinion, and this racket is well suited for that.

Very good value for the price.

This is not an OFF- blade, because it is very fast with medium and hard rubbers. It is fast near the table and has a medium speed far from the table.

There is no vibration, which means there isn’t a loss of energy.

This is a good blade for a low price with good control. It is one of the best and fastest 5 wood plies blades.

Best blade in the Burn series (stay away from all+). Best handle ever (FL), with no vibrations at all. It offers a good balance of speed and feeling. Matches perfectly with Acuda S2 or S1. Check the blade before purchasing. It should feel and sound compact and stiff. Highly recommended, but not for beginners.

I purchased this racquet as my first non-premade, and I love it. Some might say that this blade is just a bit too fast for newer players, but it might be a good idea if you know you’re going to get serious later on. That way, you’ll have something to grow into, but it is still tamable.

The blade has an excellent click when you smash the sweet spot. Feedback from the middle is fairly muted at first, but over time, allows more messages to come through clearer.

The quality of the blade is excellent. No imperfections or anything else of the like. Made of partial Mahogany, this blade is somewhat on the fast/hard side, but nothing uncontrollable by any means. In fact, if paired with a softer or medium sponge hardness, you’ll find it’s a great combo.

I’d recommend this paddle to anyone who’s starting on their first non-premade, and wants something just a bit beyond beginner to stretch into.

This was my second blade purchase. It’s a genuine OFF- blade with excellent control, power, and speed. The combination of these qualities makes it an exceptional blade.

It has no unwanted vibrations, a solid construction, and decent aesthetics (if that’s important to you). This blade is suitable for advanced or experienced players and can adapt to their needs.

It produces a satisfying click-sound on impact and pairs well with a spinny rubber like Acuda S2/S3/M2/Xiom Sigma Euro or equivalent. I’ve noticed that using a hard sponge can diminish the blade’s feel, so I don’t recommend them with this blade.

Overall, I highly recommend this blade to a friend.

Good for blocking and flat hitting. Best suited for hard rubbers like Adidas P7. Excellent control and overall a great rubber.

Actually, this is a very nice blade. It has a comfortable handle, good control, a nice look, and is well-balanced.

However, the feel when I hit the ball is not too convincing. It’s like hitting with hollow wood. I can’t sense if the ball would be fast or slow. Maybe it’s just not fit to my style.

Stiffer but slower than Donic Epox Offensiv.

Review text:

Very similar to Donic Epox offensive in terms of its feel, sound, and the handle. The size of the blade is also the same.

Good one!

I have used this blade for around a year now. It is fast but has good control, making it a very good all-rounder.

#11 — July 2011

I am using it with Acuda S2 1.8 BH and Acuda S3 1.8 FH. It’s full of control with good speed, but it might be better to use 2.0 mm for FH to increase speed and more spin. It weighs 0.175 kg.

Very good tree simulates trees Andre dostata4no quickly with excellent control and a high curve in topspini. Drive superb and well blocks give speed control 9.8.2 external hard mahogany veneers else feels soft.

Usually play with Off- blades, and I must say this one plays very well for being rated Off-. The blade has good control, but it’s not too slow either. It feels very similar to some of the Stiga Off- blades. It’s good for looping and blocking. The handle feels good too. Overall, it’s a great blade that offers good value for the price.
