Revisiting this blade after more than 15 years, I find that it still performs well. I tried using a Donic Baracuda on the forehand (FH), and it was very easy to lift chops and open up.
The problem arose when counter-attacking. The throw angle was very high, causing me to hit the ball over the table multiple times. I had to adjust the angle almost horizontally to counter topspins. However, away from the table, it performed very easily.
On the backhand (BH), I used Tenergy 80, which has a lower throw angle, making it easy to adjust to. Even with this much speed, it was easy to control, and receiving service close to the net wasn’t hard at all.
One problem with this blade is that it’s super light, causing the setup to become head-heavy. I attached a coin to the bottom of the racket to counterbalance it.
Later, I’ll be testing the racket again with a Nittaku Fastarc G-1 on the forehand, which is a bit faster than the Baracuda but has a lower throw angle. I’m curious to see how that goes.
I would consider this blade to be best suited for a defensive style of play.
If the blade had a larger head size, it would be the perfect match for my playing style. Ideally, it should be combined with long pips rubber on one side and a fast rubber on the forehand side.
I am an older intermediate player looking to improve and move away from pre-assembled retail rackets. I ordered the Donic Persson Dotec because I wanted a lighter racket. I chose rubbers that would push me to improve: backhand: DHS Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial; forehand: Tibhar Evolution MX-D.
Firstly, the service from TT11 was amazing! They contacted me on January 1st, when everyone else was closed, to confirm which rubbers I wanted for forehand versus backhand. The completed racket was delivered to my door in Canada on January 6th. When I ordered, shipping was free, so I did not pay for expedited delivery; it was part of the service.
Regarding the racket, I am so happy with the grip and the weight. It feels great in my hands and is really responsive!
As for the rubbers, I am stronger on my backhand, and the Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial is perfect for me. It gives me great grip and speed. The Tibhar Evolution MX-D is harder for me to control for top-spin, but that is more a flaw in my technique than the rubber itself. I am being forced to improve my technique, which is exactly what I wanted.
Overall, thank you TableTennis11 for a great racket!
