Donic Classic Allround

I paired the blade with XIOM Vega Europe 2.0 on both sides, resulting in a well-balanced and versatile racket. Every claim in Donic’s promotional description is accurate: excellent control, exceptional feel, and ample speed for secure attacks.

The blade provides a soft touch for defensive play, allowing for effective pushes, blocks, and chops. Simultaneously, its 9-ply construction delivers a consistent sense of power. If the rubber is broken through, the soft carbon ensures adequate speed for attacks.

As a proficient returner specializing in retrieving challenging balls after the opponent’s smashes, I find this blade exceptional in returning everything on the table, regardless of distance. Its control exceeds expectations.

Currently, the only modification I would consider is using 1.8 mm rubber for enhanced feel.

Although my experience with rackets is limited, this one has proven to be the best for me, significantly accelerating my development.

Overall, I am highly impressed with this high-quality blade and thoroughly enjoy playing with it. I highly recommend it for intermediate all-rounders who prioritize control, safe speed, and a responsive feel in their blade.
