Donic Waldner Legend Carbon

excelent

Excelente madera, con muy buena velocidad y sin perder control. Con un precio muy asequible para la calidad que proporciona.

Es un excelente producto, además el servicio de entrega fue muy puntual.

I have used this blade, but it fell short of my expectations. The performance was different from what I had been led to believe. I am also perplexed by the positive reviews this blade has received.

Out of the numerous blades Donic produces, the ones I genuinely admire are the Donic Waldner World Champinon 89 and the Donic Li ping Kitex.

Es una madera muy completa, muy accesible por su valor.

This blade is amazing, has a lot of speed, but at the same time a lot of control. My game has really improved.

Thank you TT 11 for the great service and quick delivery to Australia. I will recommend you to some of my TT friends.

6.3mm thickness, 80g weight, large head size, comfortable FL grip, good quality, medium soft, low flex, fast speed, nice feel, relative control, low vibration, large sweet spot, consistency, thick hinoki construction, carbon, very good with Golden Tango PS Hybrid tires, Donic R1.

6.3mm thickness provides good stability and control. 80g weight is lightweight and easy to handle. Large head size offers a wider hitting area. Comfortable FL grip ensures a secure and ergonomic hold. Good quality materials guarantee durability and performance. Medium soft feel provides a balanced combination of touch and power. Low flex allows for precise ball placement. Fast speed enables quick and aggressive shots. Nice feel offers excellent feedback and control. Relative control allows for consistent and accurate shots. Low vibration reduces hand fatigue during extended play. Large sweet spot provides a wide range of effective hitting areas. Consistency ensures reliable performance shot after shot. Thick hinoki construction contributes to the blade’s overall strength and stiffness. Carbon layers enhance speed and power. Pairs very well with Golden Tango PS Hybrid tires and Donic R1 rubbers.

If you tend to mess up, or if your blade is fragile and not sealed, this is not the glue for you. This is a very runny, but very, very adhesive glue that will definitely keep your rubber in place. But as someone who likes changing rubbers frequently, this is not the glue for me because it doesn’t remove well from the blade. It left a very sticky mess after I peeled off the rubber. If you want to glue and use that rubber to death, this is your glue.

Great speed! Enough control! Straight squared handle!

A very light and fast blade with good control. Forehand and Backhand Fast, strong and with a lot of effect. I use an MX-P on the Backhand and a Donic Barracuda on the Forehand and I think the blade and these rubbers get along really well. I could trade an MX-P for a Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 Soft, and a Barracuda for an Andro Rasanter.

The blade is so awesome you feel the touch of the ball; great speed, but very controllable.

The blade is versatile and enjoyable to play with, provided proper technique is employed. Weighing 86 grams, it reaches 198 grams with rubber and side tape, ideal for modern gameplay. Paired with Donic Bluestorm Z1 Turbo (Max) and Tibhar Evolution MX-P 50 (Max), the rubbers feel less firm than expected. Blocking is effortless, and ball placement is intuitive. It excels in counterattacking and can adapt to both slow and fast-paced games. Power and speed are accessible when needed, and the sound is pleasing. The flared (concave) handle is exceptionally comfortable and smooth, with an attractive design and craftsmanship. This blade ranks among my favorites, alongside the Donic Waldner World Champion '89 inner-fiber blade. Both are excellent choices for modern table tennis. Tabletennis11 offers competitive pricing, quality packaging, and prompt delivery.

It is a high-quality blade. Even though I bought it one month ago, I can still say it is difficult for me to get used to the speed of this blade, but when you get the timing, you will love it. The price is fantastic.

Good

Good blade, but the weight is light. It is really good for attack, spin, and control.

Excellent

Výborný odraz, lehká, dobře sedí v ruce, údery jsou přesnější a jistější, výborná kontrola. Doporučuji pro již pokročilé hráče. Potahy 2,0 a výše jsou hodně rychlé na této čepeli. Není vhodná pro začátečníky.

After a 20+ yr layoff from table tennis, I started back about 2 — 3 yrs ago with a Joola Uniply racket with Xiom Europe on both sides. This new racquet was a nice step up, and the larger carbon sweet spot has a great feel. The racket isn’t as fast as I thought. I had Rakza 7 Max Soft put on it, and all is good.

Nice blade, can produce fast and safe attacks. You can catch one more ball because the blade is in big size XXL, especially those who have faster footwork. Fits very well in hands, worth the money.

A very good blade with great feeling and spin. It is the best choice for my attacking game.

Very fast, good control, almost stiff

Great blade for topspin play. The hard surface provides stability, while some flex makes looping more comfortable. It offers a good feeling when blocking. For optimal performance, I pair it with Vega Pro (FH) and Rigan (BH), creating an excellent combination.

So far, I am happy with it.

This blade is AMAZING! It’s been a long time that I’ve been looking for a blade that is like a Gergely Classic black tag. Finally, I found it! Feels like Gergely Classic black tag but with more control.

The thing is, this is much cheaper than the cheapest Butterfly carbon blade, half the price cheaper. Must have blade…

Compared to the Ovtcharov Carbospeed, which I used to play with, the Legend Carbon has a similar construction but a reduced thickness of 6.2-6.3mm, while the Carbospeed is 6.7-6.8mm (Primorac Carbon: 6.9mm). This slight reduction in thickness results in a decrease in both speed and stiffness.

However, the Legend Carbon offers a crisp feel of the carbon layer upon ball impact. Especially when hitting harder, I experience a longer dwell time, which allows me to generate more spin.

If you possess good attacking control, accuracy, and timing, the Waldner Legend Carbon is an excellent choice. It excels in low-arc topspin drives, passive quick returns, and devastating smashes. Additionally, short quick loop counterattacks are effortless with this blade. It also handles short pushes effectively.

I have paired it with Donic Bluestorm Z2 rubbers, which provide a safe and controlled setup with a total weight of around 183g. I do not recommend using overly soft sponges, as this will compromise speed and spin due to the reduced dwell time. Grammatical adjustments were made to improve clarity and readability.

Good feeling and finish blade. Very weird head size 160×152 mm like Chinese blades. Should be produced in standard size 157×150 mm.

Big head size makes the feeling very odd. I had to sand to normal size. Then everything was OK. Good price.

La verdad tengo dos años con este marco pero cóncavo, y no lo cambiaría, ya que brinda una velocidad muy alta pero con un control muy bueno. Dentro de la mesa puedes bloquear con gran velocidad y control, a pesar de ser un marco muy rígido.

Fuera de la mesa puedes jugar de manera ofensiva y además brinda un giro alto a la pelota al momento de atacar. Yo le combiné un Bluestorm Z2 en derecho y un Hexer Duro en el revés, y me permite jugar de manera ofensiva y defensiva, pero imprimiendo un alto giro en la pelota durante el juego.

I am using this blade with 2.0 Donic Bluefire M1 on FH and 2.0 TSP SpinPips on BH. You can feel the drive and blocks, but it doesn’t vibrate a lot. This blade is perfect for any type of offensive players. Your shots are going to be taken seriously. But because of its speed, I don’t recommend it for beginner players.

¡Es una excelente madera! ¡Muy rápida y con muy buen feeling! Y además, ¡se entrega en los 5 días prometidos!

Volveré a comprar aquí sin dudarlo pronto.

Great blade for aggressive players. Even with harder rubbers such as Donic’s Acuda Blue P1 Turbo, I can slow loop, push the ball short, block with a lot of pace and also finish the point with amazing speed.

Requires good technique tho, still struggling a bit sometimes.

Lightweight.

Once you get the hang of it, the ball goes wherever you want it to go, superb control for such a fast blade!

Great, well-made blade. Quality is good. I suggest you get the correct type of handle. The ST is a bit bulky for me since it is a square straight (the bigger kind).

Thank you, Donic, for making a great product. Thanks TT for fast shipping.

This blade works best with mid-hard rubber like Xiom Omega IV/V Europe on the FH… if hard rubber, I found it too fast for me. This blade is quite balanced… it has both speed and control!

very good

Good quality blade.

Highly recommend, very good blade.

This racket is heavy with DHS H8 hard and Xiom Vega Asia. I well bought DHS Hurricane 8 blade.

The best looping blade in the market! I used Butterfly Mazunov in the past and I’m finding for a looping blade with consistency and this blade never failed me. It has a wide head that is capable of putting a lot of spin in the ball causing extreme difficulties for the opponent. I didn’t adjust too much. I recommend this blade from beginners to pros who require control, speed, and spin!

This is my second Waldner Legend Carbon; I broke the first.

Nice product. My first non-Chinese blade. Excellent with Bluefire JP01 on BH and FH. Need will to improve technique. :)

Very good blade with “BlueFire JP01”.

Can’t believe Waldner would give his blessing to this fast blade. Only soft sponge rubbers should be used. I tried Tenergy 80FX on FH. Thought it was going to be too fast, but not really. Very easy to do slow loops and loop drives. On BH, I used Stiga Calibra LT Spin. Nice control. The hinoki allowed me to feel the ball in my shots. The FL handle is of medium size and very comfortable. Push shots were nothing special.

Nice light blade, very comfortable slimmer handle. Great service from Table tennis 11.

Muy buen producto, lo que esperaba.

I have been using Butterfly blades till now, tried Jun Mizutani ZLC, Innerforce ZLC, Innerforce TAMCA 5000, all these to replace my old Gergelys, and this is by far and large the best for me. The Jun Mizutani and Innerforce are also excellent but very expensive, and this suits me just as good.

The only thing noticeable is the handle, where some areas are not sanded properly, but that isn’t a big issue for me. However, only for that reason, I have one less star.

Overall, this is a decent blade with a large head size. Thus, it has a large sweet spot and provides great control. As a result, it is a fun blade to play with.

A very good blade, especially for the price.

Good speed, nice hinoki feeling, and good arc.

The dwell time could be better, as well as the control on passive shots.

Overall, a nice offensive blade.

Very good blade.

It’s a very powerful Hinoki carbon blade. Good quality and reasonable price.

Matched with M2 and S1—gives a great combination of control and speed. Enjoyable in practice as well as matches. Not expensive as well.

Comparison: DHS PG7 vs. Waldner Legend

Blocking: 9 — 9 Serve: 9 — 10 Drive: 8.5 — 9 Speed: 8.5 — 9.5 Control: 9 — 9

I really love it.

This blade has to be rated with a big 10 in each aspect including the speed, control, and sufficient dwell time. However, it is not suitable for hard sponge rubbers; only medium and medium-soft sponge rubbers are suitable. The Donic blade is almost identical to the Bty Primorac and the old version of the Bty Gergely. Bravo, Donic!

Muy buena madera y buen precio.

Very skeptical before the purchase! Really surprised during the first test! Absolutely convinced of this amazing blade! Control and feel are outstanding! Speed is sufficient for an off blade! Definitely my final setup associated with soft rubbers! A must-have Donic product!

Very nice blade with hinoki top layer. Excellent soft feel and excellent control. Not too powerful. Good for player who like to exert force themselves. Perfect blade for around attacker who likes softer feel.

First time with this paddle, and with Acuda S2, it is a very good option. Very good power, very good block, and spin fast. Not very fast.

Really very good job by Donic.

It is made out of hinoki plies and one ply of carbon.

It offers very good control and is suitable for hitting, blocking, and looping.

To me, it has a very nice feel and provides the same quality as the Primorac Carbon at a lower price.

Overall, it is a very good blade.

Really nice blade from Donic’s 2012 range. It features a soft core, carbon, and quite thick outer plies of hinoki. The wood and build quality are incredible for the price, easily matching Butterfly blades despite being only 1/3 of the cost.

However, it is not as fast as Donic advertises. It is a very reliable blade with a linear feel, but it has a slight flex at the very top end for powerful swings far from the table.

Short game control is excellent, looping is excellent, blocking is good, and hitting is good. No real drawbacks, so if you prefer hinoki-topped blades, you’ll be very satisfied.
