Donic Waldner Allplay

Just a very good blade. Reasonably cheap and very good quality for the price.

My current setup is a red Tibhar Q5 VIP on the backhand and a Nittaku Fastarc G-1 Super Thick black on the forehand. I had previously used composite blades (XVT Knight 7, Palio Energy 3, Donic Epox Carbotec) but I was happy to downgrade to a slower blade when I switched to this one.

The control and feeling are outstanding, and with the correct stroke speed, it is also impressive. I have a club colleague who uses the Donic Appelgren Allplay, which has a similar build to this blade. It is incredible how much speed he generates with his strokes. Once we are able to practice together again, I will let him test my blade and get his comments.

I need to play a little more with this blade to give a better review, but so far I am very happy with it and I will stick to wooden blades. I will update my review once I have had more time to practice.

Anyone who has problems controlling the ball or pushing balls long over the table should give this blade a try. You won’t regret it. Topspin strokes also feel very good and controllable.

Very nice feeling, good control and dwell, but lack of speed and power. This makes it impossible to play away from the table. Perhaps with very fast rubbers like mx-p, it could be more playable.

The low speed allround-blade is a 5-ply Limba-Ayous-Ayous-Ayous-Limba blade with a thickness of 5.4mm. Its brown-wood color handle gives it a classic look.

When I set it up with DHS H3 Neo on both sides, it weighs only 172g and generates tons of spin, making it fantastic for playing close to the table. The soft blade combined with hard rubber is exactly how I like it.

For pro-level play, consider setting it up with Donic BluestormZ1 or Butterfly Tenergy05, which should provide a balance between speed, spin, and feedback control.

Mon bois allround préféré. Bonne vibration, sensation de jeu, léger. Le dwell time permet un topspin confortable, mais la dureté du bois permet des blocs solides. Quand on est battu sur un jeu, la balle tombe encore sur la table. Le bois qui rallonge la table d’un pied à petit prix.

Bought this for a friend as a first table tennis blade and I have to say I’m impressed. Paired with Donic Liga and Acuda S3, it came out great.

I have been using this blade for the past 3 months and I am pretty satisfied with its all-round play. The blocks are perfect, as is the offense. I am just a beginner and will stick to it for a while to get my technique and footwork right. The only thing that it lacks is the chops and pushes, which are long and a bit higher than expected. This may be due to some flaw in my technique, but otherwise, you will love it and its feel.

This is a good blade, but you should try the carbon ply of the same model. I liked this one, but I think the handle is small. Overall, it’s a good ply.

It’s great to block with, because it gives you a direct response. However, if you need more power or speed, you have to play stronger to feel it. It’s a good all-rounder. You can do everything with it (block, topspin…), but not everything to a satisfactory level.

My combination was a Mark V (max) on the backhand and a Coppa Jo Gold on the forehand, along with an FL grip version of the Waldner Allplay. The ply is pretty fast for an all-wood blade. The sweet spot is pretty large, and blocking is easy. Looping is easy, and with a little practice, you can get a surprising amount of speed on your strokes. The only negative I found was that my backhand blocking in match play seems to have suffered. I think Mark V is not the best rubber for this blade; I am going to switch to Stiga Mendo soon.

Very good blade for beginners to start. Feels soft because of the limba outply. Any kind of stroke can be done. Can pair with long pimple, medium pimple, short pimple. Can pair with Acuda S1, Acuda S2, Barracuda, Xiom Vega Europe, Andro Rasenter R42, and hard rubber like Nittaku Hammond Z2. The best all-around blade to learn the correct stroke FH BH. The best blade to learn and improve your BH stroke, BH Topspin, BH Loop, BH Banana Flip due to having dwell time to spin the ball. Vibrates a lot when smashing the high ball. This is due to the flexibility of the blade. Need to use your own power to do loop drive, topspin away from the table around 4 feet. Only suits for fast attack and loop drive near the table strategy. Speed can be compared with hard rubber like with Acuda S1 Turbo, Hammond Z2.
