My first blade by Donic. Needs varnishing!!!

It is really off+. But the control feels how off it is. And this is great!

If proper technique is used, the outer-fiber blade can excel in all aspects of the game. It offers exceptional power, great speed, and impressive control, but its true standout feature lies in its exceptional blocking capabilities.

As one of the original SZLC blades to enter the market, this blade’s touch and sensational feel are unmatched. Its construction (Spruce, Carbon Fleece Zylon, Spruce, Kiri) allows for a wide range of power depending on the rubber used.

When paired with medium-soft rubber like the Donic Bluestorm Z3 (2.1) on both sides, the blade delivers an incredible balance of speed and control. This combination provides excellent dwell time, making it ideal for looping, smashing, pushing, flicking, open-ups, and other techniques.

Weighing in at 199 grams, it perfectly complements the modern game with the new 40+ balls. The flared (concave) handle provides a comfortable grip.

The blade’s exceptional quality earns it a solid 10 rating as it consistently delivers on its intended purpose.

The Donic World Champion 89’ blade series (3 blades) was specifically designed for the modern game (Persson OFF+, Waldner OFF, Appelgren AR+). These top-notch blades demand good technique and skills to handle effectively.

The blade offers excellent control and speed. It has a big sweet spot and produces a unique sound. Blocking shots is impressive with this blade. Placing the ball comes naturally. It is also great for counter-attacking.

When comparing the Persson World Champion '89 blade to the Waldner World Champion '89 blade, the latter is slightly faster but offers the same control. Both blades are among the best ORIGINAL SZLC blades available. They offer the speed and control needed for modern table tennis.

The Donic Bluestorm rubbers enhance the performance of these remarkable blades. You won’t be disappointed using either of these blades as long as proper technique is used when handling the ball. These are exceptional blades that deserve a 5-star rating.

The blade is fast and powerful, but it also offers good control. It pairs well with softer rubbers like the Donic M2. When paired with the H3Neo rubber, the blade allows for easy looping but is not as fast as the M2 or S1Turbo. However, the S1Turbo lacks control, which can be a drawback.

First impressions of this blade are very powerful. With its dwell time, it is good enough to make the ball more rotating with a little friction. I use the DHS Hurricane 8 in the forehand and Stiga Genesis S in the backhand. The ST handle makes it easy for me to backhand flick on the table. I highly recommend this blade for players who are fast and aggressive. I like this blade.

Fantastic blade! I was using a Waldner Dicon with Bluefire M2 (FH) and Bluefire M3 (BH) and this was a great change. I just changed the rubbers from the old blade to the new one and suddenly I was able to do things I never did before, with great control, placement and a soft-touch feeling I never felt before.

I felt like… Waldner! When throwing some tricky shots it was like I thought of what to do and where to put the ball and it went exactly to the target.

#7 — Long Time Ago...

A good blade for those seeking something similar to Primorac Carbon but with less speed, more control, and more power for topspins. It plays well with rubbers up to 55 degrees hardness, such as Bluegrip C2. I play with Bluegrip C2 on my forehand and Nittaku PK50 on my backhand.
