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.

During the gluing process, I let the glue dry, but some moisture remained, and I attached the sheets to the wood a little early.

Due to the moisture, the racket was slow at the start. After four to five days, the moisture went away, and the racket became quite fast.

Mostly good control and consistency. I am using Bluestorm Pro on both sides, and the speed is fast. I disagree with other reviews averaging 7.5 for speed; for me, the speed is higher than that.

I used RITC 729 V5. Donic Classic Allround is definitely faster than that.

I paired the blade with Xiom Vega Europe 2.0 on both sides and got a well-balanced, very versatile racket. In my opinion, every word from the Donic’s promo description is 100% true: excellent control, a lot of feeling, and enough speed for safe attacks.

The blade has a soft touch for defensive play (pushes, blocks, chops). At the same time, the 9 plies construction gives the blade a consistent feel of power. If you break the rubber through, the soft carbon secures decent speed for attacks.

I’m a fairly good returner who likes saving the dead balls after the opponent’s smashes. This blade is just a beast returning everything on the table, from any distance; control is above any expectations.

The only thing I would probably change now is to use 1.8 mm rubber, just for even more feel.

I have not had many rackets (Andro All+, Primorac OFF-) but this one is the best for me, it skyrocketed my development.

I’m very impressed with the blade and really enjoy playing it. I recommend this high-quality blade for intermediate all-rounders who value control, controllable speed, and the good feel of the blade.

As a beginner, I’m still struggling to get used to the racket though it has good control, fair speed, and if you push hard, you find it powerful as well.
