Exceptional blade for all-rounders. It offers ample speed, exceptional feel and touch, and impeccable control. The finish quality is impressive.

Previously using the Lignum All blade, I encountered excessive stiffness when pairing it with Tenergy Hard rubber on the forehand, leading to difficulties in short gameplay and receiving. The Impuls 6.5 significantly softens the rubber feel, enhancing control with minimal speed loss.

As a result, you retain sufficient power and speed when combining it with hard rubber, while gaining unparalleled control. The short game becomes highly precise, including serve reception.

If you seek a dynamic and fast blade, this may not be the ideal choice. However, if your focus is on controlled play, both close to the table and in zones 2-3, this blade is an exceptional option.

After experiencing numerous all/all+ blades (exceeding 10 in my collection), I can confidently state that this blade is unique. It exhibits a muted characteristic similar to the Niitaku Violin but with greater versatility, or a softer and slightly slower version of the Donic Appelgren WC 89, albeit with enhanced flex and control.

The speed and control ratio (7/10) provided by DONIC is accurate. I highly recommend this blade.
