Donic Original №1

Great performance from this blade, very good control as well. But just one big problem in my particular case.

Weighs in at 95 grams, paired with Dignics 05 forehand and Tenergy 05 (also tried 09C), this thing performs heroic shots that few can rival. Soft touch shots are very predictable and controllable. Loops are fast with a good arc. Smashes are deadly powerful.

However, I find myself playing with my old blade more due to one main issue: vibration that rings through the fingers, almost as if the layers have delaminated in the middle of the hitting surface. It’s just plain bothersome. Very sad.

Nothing to do with Tabletennis11’s awesome service! This Donic blade is terrible. I tried it with different rubbers. It feels like glass. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Хороший комплект с Donic Bluefire M1.

This racket was heavy and had seven layers of plywood. It has more repulsive force than normal 5-ply plywood and has excellent straightness of the ball. There is a lot of embedding when trying to drive, speed is good, and control is easy. I recommend this racket. However, it can be the worst choice for women and those who dislike heavy racquets.

This blade is very close to the softer version of the Dragon Five. It has a similar feel to a five-layer blade with good support for inner power, making it great for looping. However, the blade’s surface treatment is extremely poor, making it very easy to develop hairline cracks. Please be careful. The handle is very thin, so those with larger hands may need to take note. If it were not for the quality issue, I would give it five stars.

Finish quality is okay.

Мне нравятся Tenergy 05 Hard и Dignics 05.

Average, gets the job done. If you’re serious, get the Sense version, probably better build quality.

A perfect replacement for the Hurricane Long 5. Same structure. The handle is a little bit thin. Doesn’t look very decently made, but performs well in games. Very good dwell time on the blade. It creates tremendous power. Spin is superb as well. Nice blade for forehand. A little bit too stiff on the backhand, but still generates great loops. Highly recommended.
