It’s strange that nobody has tested the blade yet. However, according to reviews from professional players, it’s a combination of the Viscaria and Stiga CyberShape blades. This blade allows you to make powerful topspins from any distance, perfect lobbing, and strong counter looping.
I ordered one and am waiting for it to arrive. After that, I will add my review from my point of view. It requires a little sanding on the picture; otherwise, the rubber doesn’t hold.
Great looking blade with a very nice finish. The blade weighed 91 grams. I added Tibhar Evolution MX-P Max on both sides of the blade.
The acceleration and speed are very good and can be as powerful as you want it to be. It is very controllable when hitting hard or slow, and ball placement is easy if proper technique is used. Blocking is also very good.
The handle sits very comfortably in your hand. I recommend this blade for players with good technique and skill. I give it 5 stars and a 10. As always, I received fast delivery and great service from Tabletennis11.
Excellent blade from Donic, complemented by great service from Tabletennis11.
I would characterize this blade as being in the All Round to OFF- range. It offers good control and a safe, medium arc for looping with a medium dwell time. I would rate its spin, speed, and power as 4 out of 5.
The blade is fairly linear and performs equally well from short, medium, and long distances. The handle is acceptable, although it could be improved by being more rounded and less squarish. The balance is good and not head-heavy. The weight typically falls between 88 and 90 grams.
This blade pairs well with Dignics 09C, Dignics 80, Tenergy 05, and Tenergy 80. However, I would advise against using Dignics 05, as it can become very spin-sensitive when blocking. Overall, this blade outperforms Butterfly blades that cost two to three times as much.
Important: Remember to remove/sandpaper the “JO Waldner” paint. If you don’t, the rubber’s contact won’t be optimal, and the ball may go into the net. Once this is done before attaching the rubbers, the blade plays nearly perfectly.
