Donic Original Carbospeed

Composite/carbon

It is an incredible blade. Extremely light (mine weighs 77g) and consistent. It is very fast, but not as fast as bty primorac carbon or the legendary schlager carbon, in spite of having their same composition (5 plies - kiri at the center, carbon and then hinoki outer plies). It’s a cheaper, but very similar alternative to bty tamca 5000 blades.

I have paired it with two fastarc g-1 and the result has been outstanding: a light, fast, and extremely spinny combination.

Having said that, rubbers with very hard sponges, such as xiom omega 7 tour and andro rasanter r53, may be difficult to use due to the stiffness of the blade, but everything depends on your technique skills. Naturally-aspirated, carbon blades commonly have less dwell time in comparison to more flexible, all-wood blades, and this one is not different.

I suggest focusing on spin/grip rather than on speed when choosing the rubbers. If paired with high arc, spinny rubbers such as fastarc g1, baracuda, and tenergy 05, the blade becomes an all-out-attack, top-spin machine, especially in medium-distance shots. Blocking is exceptional, but the blade’s speed creates a forward-oriented ball trajectory, which requires good timing and technique to place the ball with precision.

In short, if you have an attack-oriented game and want to add power to your strokes, this blade is for you.

Yinhe K-3 Carbon Blade Review

This is a good blade. It is light, fast, consistent, and easy to attack with. It is faster than the Donic Waldner WC89 ZLC but slower than the BTY Primorac Carbon. It is easy to use with soft tensors like Acuda S2 and T05.

Blocking is extremely easy with this blade. You can feel the ball sink into the blade, and you can really feel the ball while blocking. It is easier to block with this blade than with the Donic Waldner WC89.

The blade has a lot of power at close to the table and medium distance, but it is not as powerful farther away from the table. Flat hitting is also quite easy with this blade.

Overall, this is a very good blade that is great for loopers and attackers.

Good.

I have been using the Ovtcharov Carbospeed for 8 years. In theory, it should be the same wood, but I found it quite different. It felt slightly slower and had much more control for loops. Perhaps it is because of the lacquer? I don’t know, but it still maintains its spirit intact.

#5November 2024

The Donic Original Carbospeed is an excellent combination of incredible speed and very good power in the game that can be adapted for players who already have basic foundations and with this blade can expand their game to much more improved levels.

#6October 2024

Good blade. I like 5-ply blades. They provide a good woody feel.

#7July 2024

A cross between Bty Ovtcharov Innerforce and Primorac Carbon, the balance of hinoki and carbon makes it suitable for a power top spin and loop player. Needs less effort with shots and is ideal for short pips with a lighter touch. Takes time to get used to the blade, but I am at a point where I play much better with it.

#8July 2024

It’s a fast blade, but at the same time, I have more control with it in the active game than most other blades I have tried. Probably because speed comes easier, and I don’t need to hit that hard anymore. It’s also excellent for blocking, and I had no problems generating spin with it.

Highly recommended!

#9April 2024

In fact, I ordered this product for myself, but one of my friends, upon seeing this assembled racket (rubber Nittaku G1 red and black), he forced me to have it from me. The feedback from that gentleman is very positive. Thanks to table tennis 11.

#10March 2024

This was the beginning of my evolution in table tennis, I swear to God.

#11December 2023

I didn’t expect this blade to be so hard. There is very little flexibility, so spin is very difficult. Totally a smash blade. Quality is average, ball feel is poor. I didn’t like it as a result.

#12December 2023

The Donic blade is great for fast playing, has a good feeling, but is heavier than the Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon I’ve used before. Donic Carbon makes me feel like a pro player.

#13June 2023

Insane blade. All of your opponents are finished. Very fast and solid. Big handle.

#14May 2023

This is an extremely fast blade. The super thick carbon layer enhances the hinoki outer layer. I use Donic Acuda on the FH and Tibhar 5Q upgrade on the BH.

#15March 2023

Speed is not very high.

#16March 2023

Not bad.

#17March 2023

Good blade.

#18February 2023

I used a variety of medium to soft rubber on the FH (currently playing with Rhyzen Fire), and BlueGrip C2 on the BH. The overall weight is OK. With this combination, I found that the FH loop drives are easy with a decent feel for the contact of the rubber sheet and blade. FH drive and flat hits are solid and reassuring. FH short ball play (flick or push) requires some practice with different types of rubber surfaces. BH with C2, simple topspin is rather easy to execute, BH strong spin drive will make the ball bite into the blade, generating power or spin. The BH block feels good when the ball drives into the blade. Overall, I chose the rubber combo to maximize the contact with the blade, which makes the best use of the hard blade surface and solid construction. Highly recommended for people who play aggressively with top spin drives or all-around blocking games.

Good control and speed.

#22December 2022

I really like this blade. It’s the first Carbon blade that I have owned and I was worried that it would be too aggressive, but it isn’t. Good feel, good weight, and it’s very responsive.
The only thing standing in its way is my poor play.

#23December 2022

This is the second blade I bought from Tabletennis11. I have used it for a month, and I like it very much because this blade is so fast and the elasticity is full. Of course, matching rubber is important. I used Blue Grip C1 for Forehand and Blue Grip C2 for Backhand.

#24November 2022

Excellent and fast.

As an intermediate player now, our coach recommended a faster carbon blade. Fully satisfied with this one, I think it’ll last a long time. Fast, controlling at the same time, good spin. I am struggling a bit with pushes. Well balanced, nice sound.

#28April 2022

ممتازة مع مطاط باراكودا وبلوستورم Z1.

#29December 2021

Fast and good control.

#30September 2021

Review text:

Very fast, with no dwell time.
The straight handle is big (requiring a large handle).
Paired well with soft rubber (don’t ever try hard rubbers with this one).
Not my style, but players who like to play with soft rubbers, like Calibra Sound, will like it.
Certainly not for beginners.

#31June 2021

This is a very good blade by Donic. It plays very similarly to the Jike Super ZLC but with more speed and better control. The only negative is that the blade chips easily if you accidentally hit it on the table. Edge tape is a must. Otherwise, no complaints.

#32May 2021

Good quality.

#33May 2021

The wood was up to expectations - fast and with incredible control. I merged one wood with Andro Roxon hard sponge on both sides, and the second wood I merged with Andro Rasanter and Donic Desto F2 hard sponge. What an incredible combination, although there may be a better combination with other good rubbers as well. The wood has made my game precise and improved my style of play incredibly. I rate the wood as follows:
SPEED - 90
CONTROL - 85
WEIGHT - is light when merged with rubber
TABLE TENNIS SERVE - 100%.

Ajoyib.

Excellent blade. Thanks.

#39April 2020

Super nice-looking blade. A very fast blade. Control, blocking, and ball placement come easily if proper technique is used. The flared handle feels very comfortable in hand (perfect). The blade, handle, and everything about it are in the same class as the Donic Waldner Legend Carbon and the Gambler Fire Dragon Hinoki blades. Medium soft rubbers like Donic Bluestorm Z3, Tibhar Evolution FX-P, Butterfly T05-FX work very well for me. When power hitting the blade, the sound is music to the ears. As always, Tabletennis11 offers nice products at affordable prices with surprising discounts that make table tennis more fun to play. Thank you.

#40April 2020

A very powerful blade that is gifted with speed and control. Blocking comes easy with a nice touch and feel. The handle is a good fit in your hand. The quality and craftsmanship are top-notch. For my style, it matches up very well with Donic Bluestorm Z3 2.1 on both sides. Very nice video on “YouTube” with two exceptional players using the Ovtcharov Carbospeed with Donic Bluestorm Z1 (check it out). The gorgeous blade is super fun to play with and would play very well with other rubbers as well. Give it a try. As always, Tabletennis11 provides quality products at affordable prices with surprising discounts.

#41March 2020

It’s a good blade.

#42February 2020

Hard carbon blade providing good speed. I ordered many of these blades for our members with Tibhar MX-P 50 and everyone loved it. I recently tried it with the new Stiga Pro DNA soft and Stiga Calibra LT Spin, then let our members play with the racket. In just 4 weeks, 4 members came and asked me to order the same thing for them. They like the spin and the speed of the new Stiga DNA Pro.

#43July 2019

Fast control, to me, is better than Butterfly Photino and a lot cheaper. I bought another one, but it is a little slower. The price, shipping, and service are great at TT11!

#44June 2019

Love this blade. Bought about 15 of these for our players and everyone loved them.

#45February 2019

Very fast with MXS on it. Great with Calibra LT Sound. Faster than my Butterfly Photino.

#46January 2019

Speed is good, but the blade is way too hard. I do not like this blade.

#47January 2019

The blade has a perfect balance and the delivery time was impeccable.

#48October 2018

Got this for a good discount because of the quantity purchased. Produces a good sound and good speed when combined with Tibhar Evolution MX-P rubbers.

#49March 2018

Es un marco con una gran velocidad, combinada con un hule Bluestorm Z1 aumenta aún su velocidad para aquellos jugadores súper ofensivos, pero si prefieres un juego con más giro, te recomiendo que compres este marco y le combines unos hules Hexer Duro, y le brindarás una velocidad y efecto muy altos al jugar fuera de la mesa.

#50February 2018

Fast and strong blade for all-out attack players. Of course, you must be at a high level to use this.

#51February 2018

Отличное основание за смешные деньги.

#52December 2017

Very, very fast and good. I love it. It’s the best for attacking.

#53December 2017

I have used this blade for 1 month, and I am really satisfied with it.

#54September 2017

Fast but still maintains a very high level of control. Good blade!

#55June 2017

This is like a Tamca 5000 blade from Butterfly. Super fast. If you have very good control and your strokes lack some power, this may be a good option for you.
The feeling is very stiff; this is a hard blade. If you like plain carbon blades, this is a good option for you.

#56March 2017

If you want power, spin, and looping, get this. Heavy but it suits me well. I like a heavy racket. The racket is hard. Good feel for me. The speed is great!

#57May 2016

I have enjoyed this blade so much I purchased 2 of them and attached Tenergy rubbers on them. The speed and control are amazing, and I am very happy with these blades. I also have a few more Donic blades, which I purchased from this fantastic company TT11.

#60November 2015

This is a very fast carbon blade, hard to control. Control comes with training.

#61February 2015

Good.

#62January 2014

Отличное основание, не хуже, чем баттерфляй ZLC.

#63June 2013

This is a fast blade. Good for smashing, blocking, and looping too. The outer hinoki wood helps tame this wild beast as it gives a good soft feel to an otherwise stiff, fast blade. I love this blade.

#64October 2012

Not for the faint of heart and those with poor technique!
