Donic Extension AC

Low throw with stiff medium hard feeling, sharp feeling. I really enjoy the craft and construction quality and wisdom of composition. Great control with MP on backhand, spinny forehand with Rakza 7 Soft. Probably the best Donic blade, yet not popular.

Despite the game’s new feel, I was surprised by the extraordinarily high level of control on all strokes, whether with FH or BH. With the BH, it is quite possible to return at the table through a block or in the half distance with an undercut. As for the FH, the pattern development was good on serve and also in topspin play. I found blocking with the FH to be quite easy, although this shot is not one of my strengths. There are certainly better woods for shooting; however, with several training sessions with this wood, that feeling would have set in.

The second test confirmed the first impressions. The AC will be an interesting blade for a pure topspin player who does not try to “shoot” balls. The moderate pace (ALL + / OFF-) is also pleasant. Due to the wood’s low weight, the club is not too heavy overall.

Very sharp feeling and very spinny, great for modern defense.
