I have been playing with this Dotec Off for 1 year now. It is true that the handle limits wrist rotation in backhand. I found a solution! Just reverse your rubbers! Switching the blade from side to side solved all the problems.

I now have a better backhand feel, and this changed nothing on the forehand. I am using TG3 neo on FH and Bluefire M2 on BH. This setup suits me the best. In conclusion: I will keep this blade and stop trying other setups because nothing seems to be better than that, for me! The feeling is really smooth.

Update: BREAKING NEWS! The blade handle broke while playing. This handle has never been thrown on the ground, so it is fragile. $70 on the garbage…

I’ve been playing with Tenergy 05fx on a Xiom Stradavarious for 3 years. I play a modern European style attacking game, and for me spin is the key ingredient to my success. After getting into the A division of a singles tournament for the first time, my girlfriend bought me this blade with Tibhar Evolution MX-P on the forehand and FX-S on the backhand as a surprise Valentine’s Day present. Everything in my game suddenly got a ton more consistent.

The Donic Ovtcharov Dotec Offensive blade is easily the most comfortable blade I’ve ever held in my hand. You can tell that the Dotec designers have done their homework… all the vibrations from the head of the racket can be felt through the cork handle. It is a little light for my liking. In the past, I’ve preferred my blades to be a bit head heavy so I have a little more power behind the stroke, but what it lacks in weight it makes up in consistent bounce. A lot of blocks and counterdrives against super powerful loops go in like they’re nothing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a blade that gives substantial power with amazing consistency.

Given the shape and intended use of the blade, I would have preferred it to be slightly heavier.

The handle is thick, which is excellent for larger hands, like mine. Flipping with the backhand is not awkward at all. If this was a concern, dismiss it.

I cannot comment on other aspects, but the speed is remarkable. You almost cannot see the ball when attacking aggressively.

Unfortunately, there is no rating for aesthetics. If there were, this would be the most visually appealing blade available.
