Excellent blade with its own character. It’s very fast, spinny, and powerful.
You’ll need some control to execute slower shots. Blocking is perfect. The feel is slightly smoothed.
It pairs well with Tenergy 19 but performs poorly with Bluestorm Z2.
Some background information first, and I’ll try to keep it short: I won this blade from Anders Lind around 2023 or 2024. Before he got his own model named by Donic, this was what he used. I received the actual blade from him, still with the original Donic rubbers, after he won his first Pro tournament.
It was, and is, a GREAT blade. It plays as well as my Viscaria, maybe even better. My friend was so impressed with it that he ordered one for himself. However, it was NOT the same blade. We were both confused, wondering what happened. Mine had a “click click” sound, while his had a “clunk clunk” sound. It was a totally different feel.
I went on forums and found out that top players either: a) have blades specially made for them, despite being called the same as what regular consumers pay for. So, forget about trying to replicate your favorite player’s setup, as you won’t get the same equipment anyway; or b) they test out 10-20-30 blades of the same model and find the one that stands out, and use that. This is a confirmed fact.
So, I was praising this blade to the skies in reviews, until my friend bought one. If all the regular production blades are like my friend’s, I can’t recommend it. It’s stiff and has no feel. The cheaper Yinhe pro01 or Sanwei 75 inner are better. Or, go for the best if you can afford it: Viscaria.
The Donic rubbers, however, were amazing. Another friend bought those and put them on his Viscaria, and I loved them when I tried his blade.
I bought this blade with MX-P50, which I actually didn’t see many players talking about this combination. For me, it works amazingly! I recommend it! Power, spin, block, and more. Works very well.
