Quality of blade is as good as the blade with average and budget level should be. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the blade quality and would recommend it for the amateur and beginner players that do not know what to select out of the massive range of offers available in the market. The blade was equipped with Andro Rasanter 45 max thickness for FH and Yasaka Rakza 7 with max thickness for BH that I believe was a good match, though a bit faster than needed for my skills. In short, the blade is highly recommended!

Приобрёл данное основание по совету своего друга, который играет им уже более года. Мне оно тоже очень понравилось. Довольно контрольное, быстрое основание. Удобно держать в руке. Спасибо магазину за качественный товар по отличной цене!

#3October 2024

Very good blade, fast, good control.

#4October 2024

A bit heavy, can’t feel the vibration too much. But it has great speed and control.

#5October 2024

This blade has a really special structure. The 1+7 and 2+6 layers are spruce. Then it comes with soft inner carbon and a Kiri core. Nice finish and good looking.

While for me this blade is too bouncy to control, I prefer solid hitting. Firstly I used Z1 turbo on FH, that is way more bouncy. I had to change to a softer rubber later.

I still believe this blade would work well with suitable rubbers. Anyway, its cost performance is excellent.

#6September 2024

I would say it is the best blade for a reasonable price. You can play in offensive or defensive style with unlimited creation. It holds the ball longer so you have more control of the ball placements. You will be happier to have it for your games.

Thanks TableTennis11, always provides the best delivery in time and method.

#7September 2024

This is the third blade I buy. I honestly think the quality changed in time. The wood is very soft. I just removed yesterday the rubbers to reglue them, and I noticed many places on the side of the blade are like damaged.

I paid a lot of attention not to hit the racket on the table, but seeing pieces of wood peeling off the blade turned me off.

Anyways, from the very first day, I felt the blade different, even though I used the same rubbers (I don’t like to change).

#8July 2024

Beautifully balanced offensive blade that offers consistent control and power when applied. I bought this blade and have now purchased 3 more for players at our club who really liked how the blade played.

#9July 2024

Lowest price. High service. Nice blade. I will buy the next product from TableTennis11.

#10May 2024

KUNINGAS!!! STILL MY FAVORITE: One of the best original SZLC inner-fiber blades on the market (IMO). Polished GERMAN craftsmanship. Best feel for me. The blade is well balanced and well made. Super nice blade with great characteristics and very enjoyable to play with, and can be as powerful as you want it to be (depending on the rubbers used). For me, the blade matches up very well with Tibhar Evolution MX-P Max on both sides (my favorite with a total weight of 195 grams, perfect weight for me). Provides excellent ball control if proper technique is used when delivering and receiving the ball. Great blade when opening up and creating a topspin rally. The balance between speed and control is astonishing. The touch and feel of this blade IS LIKE NO OTHER, and the ease of BLOCKING is what makes this blade stand out. Great blade for counterattacking the ball with excellent control. Huge sweet spot with epic sound when powering the ball (music to your ears). The flared handle feels very comfortable with or without soft grip tape (I’m using Nittaku Soft Grip Tape, the best for a very secure grip). Beautiful blade of immense quality and top-notch craftsmanship. For me, the WALDNER WC89 OFF blade performs better than any blade that I’ve used, and the price is very reasonable and well worth it. I like the Spruce, Spruce, Carbon Fleece Zylon, and Kiri combination. The blade gives you the confidence of winning every point. Great offensive blade for modern table tennis. I give it 5 STARS and a 10 because it does what it is supposed to do in every category. SUPER NICE BLADE and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Tabletennis11 website has the best pricing for the Donic Waldner WC89 OFF blade. The other 2 blades in the World Champion 89 Series are also very nice (Persson WC89 OFF+ and the Appelgren WC89 AR+). Give one a try, and you won’t be disappointed.

#11April 2024

Great blade, does everything so well, what more can I say. Very happy!!!

#12April 2024

So I wanted to come down a bit in speed. I usually play with my trusted Viscaria or Viscaria Super ALC. Both blades always have H3N, 40° bs boosted with Haifu Black on forehand. The regular Viscaria has Dignics 09c and the Super ALC has Dignics 05.

While I really like these blades, I wanted to have a blade that has a bit more control and less speed. My W89 has H3N bs 39° boosted, and H3N os 37° boosted.

This Waldner blade delivered! The build quality is really, really nice. It’s a Soulspin blade if I’m not wrong. I had to sand the surface to get the glue to stick.

But the feeling, oh, it’s almost like an all-wood blade. Huge sweet spot! And has the punch when you engage. The handle is a little thinner than Viscaria, suits my small hands. It’s smooth. Can only say good things about this blade!

Though, I still prefer the directness and extra rigidity of the Viscarias; they do require extra precision and technique compared to this blade. My technique has developed since me and my partner started practicing with slower inner-type blades.

#13March 2024

Perfect blade for blocking. Blocking is effortless. Very good control. The drawback is the flare handle, which is quite slim on the grip but wide on the bottom.

#14February 2024

Good blade for all-round and offensive players!

#15September 2023

Molto controllo e una buona potenza, ma pensavo un po' di più: secondo me è un OFF-, non oltre. Ne ho uno da 81 g e uno da 85: tra i due il più leggero è il meno potente. Ho anche un Appelgren della stessa serie, ma più vecchio, che mi pare abbia il legno superficiale (abete) di miglior qualità. Finiture buone, oltre la media ma non perfette.

#16August 2023

Mi piace, anche se non ho trovato ancora il setup definitivo. Tocco morbido, è abbastanza veloce ma non velocissimo. Tutto sommato non è così distante (e diverso) dall’Appelgren wc. Ne ho comprati 2, di circa 82 e 86 g; il più pesante è poco più veloce.

#17August 2023

Amazing blade for professionals

#18July 2023

I need to shot more slowly for to have control. But the control is efficient and the offensive style is clearly there. It is so good to play with this wood. Too much power for beginner.

#19May 2023

I’m very happy with the Best Donic for me. The feeling is great, I can send the ball anywhere on the table, near or far. Always T11 is very professional with the shipping and my orders come quickly. Thanks T11.

#20May 2023

Good blade, nice finish. Average bounce. OK for spinny stroke.

#21April 2023

A very good blade! Very stable and controllable, with the feeling that there is almost no speed limit.

#22January 2023

Spruce Zylon-Carbon (ZLC) is a relatively thick wood, therefore stiff. It has a Spruce Kiri Zylon-Carbon (ZLC) Spruce Spruce composition, making it a good offensive tree that is well controlled. The internal structure is composite, which makes it faster than what was written on average.

The surface is relatively hard, therefore 42 or 45 degree sponges go well with it. For hard sponges, 48-50 degrees requires good technique. In the ZLC category, it is well worth the price.

Nice work.

#23November 2022

Soft feeling, but quite fast and controllable.

Suits fast rubbers, medium sponge hardness, or hard is still okay. Maybe with soft rubber is good too.

Blocking and spinning are easy. Build quality is very high.

This is my favorite blade.

#24November 2022

The blade has a great feel and a very large sweet spot. I find it to be very well balanced, not head-heavy as I have read. The range of speed is really good and linear.

#25October 2022

I’ve read many reviews on this and other websites, and after much deliberation, I decided to buy one, and I am not disappointed. From the first practice session, it felt like this blade was made for me! I am an attacking player and wanted more control from the blade than an outer carbon, and I definitely found that it felt woody, as many other people have said, but definitely has enough power when you hit through the ball. I am using Xiom Jekyll and Hyde H52.5 black on the forehand and Xiom Jekyll and Hyde V52.5 on my backhand, both in max thickness, which makes it head heavy, but it suits my style perfectly. Thanks to TT11 for the awesome service as usual with blade assembly. For the J and H V52.5, I had to source the H52.5 locally as it wasn’t available from them.

#26July 2022

Наверное, одно из лучших на мой взгляд оснований SZLC. Оно очень хорошо сбалансировано, что больше всего поражает — это контроль, его там реально много, подставки и блоки очень стабильно возвращают мяч в стол, им реально приятно играть, это волк в овечьей шкуре. Баланс между скоростью и контролем поразителен. Хорошо подходит для вариативной игры и контратакующего стиля. Имеет большое пятно отскока.

Ручка подойдет не каждому: если у вас большая ладонь, то вам она скорее будет мала в объёме (подматывал). Основание WALDNER 89 я бы назвал по своему характеру младшим братом BUTTERFLY T. Apolonia ZLC. Нет, не по составу (внешние слои ели, зилон карбон, центральный слой кири) конечно, а по мягкому контакту с мячом и зашитой в глубину основы мощью, которой бывает не хватает при игре во второй и третьей зоне, поэтому мой совет по накладкам — это hard-50 градусов и выше, под FH будет отлично.

Я играл новинкой DONIC BlueStorm Pro справа и BlueStorm Pro AM слева, контроля и вращения вагон, чего не скажешь о скорости, думаю, поэтому оно подпадает под OFF-.

Одним словом, к покупке (за эти деньги) точно рекомендую!

#27July 2022

Nice and well-balanced, does everything nicely. Due to inner force nature, you have high control and stability, powerful too when you crank the upper gears. Nice throw angle medium-high.

#28June 2022

Very happy with this racket plus the two rubbers I bought together, a very good value and good quality.

#29June 2022

Wonderful balance between speed and control.

#30May 2022

Tabletennis11 helped find me a light blade, and super fast delivery to where I am—Hong Kong. Highly recommend this shop!

#31May 2022

Did not find any issues with talks of the button. Mine was a nice flared 91g blade with a nice finish.

Experience using the blade: My first carbon blade moving from a 5-ply Stiga NCT offensive. Very easy to block with, but the difference in thickness from my earlier blade meant I took some time and effort to generate spin on serves and loops.

Due to blade thickness and inner structure, very easy to control the short game for varying short and long pushes. Quite easy to open up as well. The feeling is there but a bit duller than the pure wood plies.

The blade allows for punching and flat hitting decently well, and can suit short-stroke players. There is power from the blade when you want it.

Overall, I really like the blade and will take more time to appreciate it.

#32April 2022

Setup: I have this blade (FL version) with Bluefire M2 on FH and Bluestorm Z2 on BH.

The setup is more control-oriented and has good speed and decent dwell time to generate a generous amount of spin. It allows for good short-on-the-table play. Hitting outright winners isn’t easy (since it isn’t fast), but this setup is super consistent and has helped in developing/improving my game. It’s serving the purpose for now. I will buy the Persson WC89 OFF+ version next with the same rubbers once I am ready to move to a faster setup.

#33April 2022

KUNINGAS!!! One of the best original SZLC inner-fiber blades on the market (IMO). Polished GERMAN Craftsmanship. Best feel for me. The blade is well balanced and my favorite. Super nice blade with great characteristics, very enjoyable to play with, and can be as powerful as you want it to be (depending on rubbers used).

For me, the blade matches up very well with Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max on both sides (my favorite with a total weight of 199-200 grams, perfect weight for me). Provides excellent ball control if proper technique is used when delivering and receiving the ball. Great blade when opening up and creating a topspin rally. The balance between speed and control is astonishing.

The touch and feel of this blade are like no other, and the ease of BLOCKING is what makes this blade stand out. Great blade for counterattacking the ball with excellent control. Huge sweet spot with epic sound when powering the ball (music to your ears).

The flared handle feels very comfortable with or without soft grip tape (I’m using Nittaku Soft Grip Tape…the best…for a very secure grip). Beautiful blade of immense quality and top-notch craftsmanship.

For me, the WALDNER WC89 OFF blade performs better than any SZLC inner-fiber blade that I’ve used, and the price is very reasonable and well worth it. I like the Spruce, Spruce, Carbon Fleece Zylon, and Kiri combination.

The blade gives you the confidence of winning every point. Great offensive blade for modern table tennis. I give it 5 STARS and a 10 because it does what it is supposed to do in every category. SUPER NICE BLADE and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Tabletennis11 website has the best pricing for the Donic WALDNER WC89 OFF blade. The other two blades in the World Champion 89 Series are also very nice (Persson WC89 OFF+ and the Appelgren WC89 AR+).

#34April 2022

I purchased this blade based on positive reviews highlighting its suitability for blocking—a crucial factor for me in blade selection. However, this blade exceeded my expectations, showcasing versatility beyond blocking. It offers a solid feel with excellent touch and also excels as an attacking blade. Despite its weight (92g), I found myself favoring attacking shots over blocking. Notably, this blade performs best with looping and driving strokes rather than smashing.

As mentioned by others, its handle is unique, boasting a fully rounded contour where the thumb rests. It offers exceptional comfort and fits like a glove. I can confidently rate its handle 10/10.

Overall, the Waldner World Champion 89 ranks among the finest blades I have owned. While it is not inexpensive, costing approximately 100 dollars, it remains significantly more affordable than comparable offerings from Butterfly or Joola.

I enthusiastically recommend this blade to attacking or all-around players. I am even considering purchasing a second one. I see no compelling reason to consider the faster Persson WC89 at this time.

#35April 2022

Perfect wood for attacking play! Beautiful control! I recommend it for every attacking player.

#36March 2022

The control and feeling of the blade are very good. The touch is soft, and the blade is firm. It’s simply amazing!

#37March 2022

The craftsmanship and quality of this blade are outstanding. The blade is quite fast on powerful strokes, but with plenty of control for its speed category. The top wood layer is a bit softer spruce, but overall the blade seems durable. Both medium-hard to hard inverted and short pips rubbers seem to pair well with this blade (haven’t tried other types so far on it). The ST sample I’ve got is ~90 grams.

#38January 2022

This blade has an extraordinary balance between control and attack. I think that it could be used for allround players, but it is most appropriate for attack players.

I play with two Coppa rubbers: Gold for drive and Platin for back. The Gold one is amazing for topspin, and the Silver is pretty good for blocking, but not too much for pushing; it does its work, but you do not have the feeling.

If you like Donic because of the quality and the performance, this could be a pretty good choice.

#39December 2021

The CONTROL and FEEL are amazing! No wonder it was the No. 1 blade on Revspin. This blade is suitable for hard rubbers. Must try. Thanks, TT11, for the best service and very fast delivery.

#40December 2021

Hi, can I use long pips rubber on this blade?

#41September 2021

Head-heavy. Good quality and nice price with TT11 discount.

#42August 2021

#44June 2021

A quality paddle that has a very good feeling. Can be powerful when hitting hard. Donic Bluestorm Z1 Turbo (max) is a nice fit along with Tibhar Evolution MX-S (max) if the proper strokes are done correctly. Very nice when changing the pace of the game. Blocking is what makes this paddle stand out. Well-finished paddle with a unique handle that feels good in the hand. QUALITY-SERVICE FROM TT11 and QUICK DELIVERY. All good!!!

#45May 2021

Основание хорошего качества. Минимальная вибрация, отличный контроль, но по скорости ближе к OFF. FL ручка весьма небольшая. Вес 81 грамм. Хорошо раскрывается с накладками Stiga Mantra H. Первые впечатления очень положительные.

#46March 2021

This is a fantastic blade with excellent feel and the ideal weight. I installed MXP Max on both sides, and it performs exceptionally well with remarkable speed and impressive control. It’s the epitome of inner-fiber blades. Bravo to Donic for creating such a masterpiece. I’m thrilled with it!

Tabletennis11 offers the most competitive pricing for this blade, along with exceptional customer service and meticulous packaging and shipping. They also provide discounts on their products. Definitely check them out!

#47March 2021

Build quality is OK… The blade is fast, with nothing to do with off-rating. Nice feeling.

#48March 2021

Beautiful blade. Provides speed as needed with control. Will definitely frustrate your opponent with multiple counter blocking and attacking as long as proper technique is used. Good sound when powering the ball. Offers speed acceleration when hitting hard or soft with excellent touch and feel. Awesome satin-finished inner-fiber blade made with high-quality German craftsmanship with the right amount of weight for the modern game and great to look at before attaching the rubber. Flared handle is unique and the texture is very smooth and feels right at home in your hand. If you like inner-fiber SZLC blades this one will definitely please you. 5 STARS and a 10.

#49March 2021

Quality with polished German craftsmanship at its best. Awesome feeling when using Tibhar Evolution MX-S Max on both sides. Offers everything you need to play at the top level. Perfect tempo and pace are what make this blade stand out with unsurpassed blocking. The blade has a large sweet spot when hitting hard or soft. Offers enormous speed acceleration when powering the ball with a musical sound. The blade has the perfect weight and balance for modern table tennis when using the poly ball. Out-matches any blade with the same INNERFIBER construction and origin. One of the best blades on the market, if not the best. Flared (Concave) handle feels very nice in hand (perfect size). A jewel!

#50December 2020

As expected, this is an amazing blade if you are looking for more control than power. Although, with the right technique, power is also great. I opted for this blade as my game level is not at an advanced level, and I had to prioritize getting the 3rd and 4th ball on the table with either a proper block or topspin. This blade solves both of these purposes. I’m using this with Dignics05 on FH and Tenergy05 on BH. Overall, it is an excellent blade if you are still not very comfortable with carbon blades.

#51November 2020

Very wonderful blade! The good feeling of the ball! Great control and incredible power for both off blades! Rubber left and right: Hurricane 8 40.

#52November 2020

For professionals, high off blade, perfect quality.

#53October 2020

It is excellent quality wood, not for beginners since it is a high OFF, but it will improve the game of almost any player of intermediate or advanced level, thanks to its dual personality that allows you to hit calm or violent, depending on how you hit it. And, yes, 100% checked: the blocks are from another world. The other versions of this Donic line are also very good: the ALL+ and OFF+ are worth it, top quality, not like the $50 Donic.

#54October 2020

Good for both defense and attack. Able to execute powerful drive or looping and yet good for defense. Need to use a harder forehand in order to execute a more powerful forehand attack.

#55September 2020

The best blade I ever had, and I played with Butterfly, Yasaka, Yinhe, Stiga, Adidas and some more. I agree with all comments, blocking is out of this world. Mine weights 87 gr and I paired it with Nittaku H3 pro turbo orange FH 2mm and Nittaku Sieger PK50 BH 1.8mm (195gr): amazing setup. Short game is amazing, but it does not lack reactivity on strong shots or away from the table. I had to adjust my forehand and backhand tops a bit but I’ll get used to it soon. The sound is super nice and in general the paddle gives you enormous confidence because you know that if you have a very offensive opponent in front of you, you will be able to block everything he throws.

#56July 2020

The blade is probably my best ever blade with the right blend of weight, quality, and characteristic for modern table tennis.

#57July 2020

Awesome blade does everything so well. Blocking is a cinch. Has a very nice soft touch and feel when placing the ball. The flared (concave) handle feels very comfortable in my hand. Most of all this blade can be as powerful as you want it to be with epic sound. One of the best inner-fiber SZLC blades on the market (IMO). The gorgeous looking blade is well constructed with top craftsmanship and gives you the feeling and confidence of winning every point. Nice weapon to have in your hand. NO COMPLAINTS HERE! 5 BIG STARS WITH A SUPER 10.

#58June 2020

I’ve used this blade with T05 on both sides for half a year now, and I must agree with the others—it’s of premium quality. I used an old Alser blade before and wanted to switch to something faster. This one has less feeling, of course, but it’s still awesome compared to carbon blades.

#59December 2019

Little vibration, speed OFF- to OFF. Light and easy to spin. Weird handle design, needs a couple of sessions to get used to. Very well finished.

#60December 2019

This is really a very well-made, high-quality blade. The handle (FL) is very comfortable. The playing characteristics of the blade are pretty much as described. It’s not very fast, around OFF-. It is well-balanced and has a lot of feeling when hitting the ball. This is a very good blade to have, especially for collectors.

TT11's service is outstanding! Highly recommended!

#61October 2019

One of the best blades on the market. VERY HAPPY!

#62October 2019

Very nice blade. Perfect sweet spot, very good control and feeling. No vibration at all, but you can feel the touch softly. Works well paired with Andro Rasanter R37 or R47. The only negative side is the handle. It’s a bit too thin.

#63September 2019

I bought it based on the reviews, but it disappointed me. It is fast with a good sweet spot, but no control. Mine was 91g, a little heavy. The flared handle is not comfortable like Butterfly or Nittaku blades. With the discounted price, it is worth it. Otherwise, there are better blades with the same price.

#64August 2019

Very good racket in both game features and craftsmanship. I couldn’t find a better-made racket; it’s a real craftsmanship! Small hands can find it thick, but I have carved it, and it’s perfect for normal hands. Fancy, too; excellent! I tried a lot of rubber, but the best for me was Gewo Nexxus EL Pro 50 forehand and Nittaku Fastarc G1 (black) backhand.

Very good quality racket for this price! I have two rackets out of this. I tried another way afterward but couldn’t find a better one.

#65June 2019

The blade does everything well, from looping to blocking and all in between. When compared to the best with the same origin, the Waldner World Champion 89' rises to the top. No complaints if proper technique is used correctly. Nice quality and craftsmanship. Tabletennis11 team providing nice products at an awesome affordable price and super fast shipping with quality packaging.

#66June 2019

A pleasure to play with. I give this blade 5 stars. Great quality and playing characteristics. Tabletennis11 providing great equipment at affordable prices. A++++++.

#67June 2019

Blade provides everything you need to win at this game. Big sweet spot. Excellent for blocking. Speed as needed. Great touch and feel for ball placement. Flared handle feels right at home in hand. Weight is just right. Gorgeous-looking blade with awesome craftsmanship. Hits very well with Tenergy 05-FX or Rakza 7-Soft for the type of game I play.

This is an excellent blade. Originally owned a Butterfly Innerforce ALC and was looking for a similar blade but with a bit more control. The larger sweet spot due to the Zylon layer certainly does its job. Although the blade is quite fast (similar to the Innerforce), it has a lot more control and gears. I am playing with Xiom Omega VII 2.0mm on Forehand and Yinhe Moon 2.0mm on the backhand.

Although the blade is fairly stiff, I am getting a reasonable amount of dwell time, which greatly helps to generate a lot of spin. Very good in the short game displaying tons of control and good at open-ups / 3rd ball attack. Deals with blocking very efficiently and good for looping away from the table. For smashing, it is a real demon, but somehow it still offers a lot of control. You will not be disappointed.

Usually, if I play with a fast blade, the ball will fly fast. However, if my opponent is very good at blocking, the ball will fly back fast too, and it makes it hard for me to keep returning the ball. With this blade, I can play an offensive style with heavy topspin but still save for the second or third strike. The ball spins a lot, and the speed is enough to make my opponent in trouble. Ball placement is easy.

On the contrary, as compared to all-round blades or some ALC blades, the blade requires proper technique to hit the table. This is because the blade produces a medium and long trajectory.

In conclusion, this blade is very good for topspin and suitable for various playing styles; however, you need to have proper technique to handle it.

It is very high quality.

Perfect handle, perfect tempo, delicate and fine touch, awesome control, huge loops with epic sound. This blade definitely hits the standard of the most expensive butterfly blades. And the price is 23% of a Butterfly SZLC blade. Don’t get fooled by the speed 9.2 atm, this blade is not that fast. It is nearly the same as Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon with a wider range of speed from ALL+ to OFF. This is my all-time best blade: an offensive blade with fine touch, works well with modern offensive and all-around rubbers, has a solid feel when hitting. A very decent attacking blade with outstanding control. Don’t be scared of the head thickness, the handle is very comfortable and slim, you won’t notice it. Before that, I was fond of blades under 6 mm head thickness.

UPDATE 2017.MAY! I bought another for my second blade. Tested rubbers: Baracuda, Baracuda BS, Bluefire M1, M2, M3, MX-P, EL-P, FX-P, MAXXX 500. Despite being stiff, this blade has a very soft touch, which comes in handy when spinning the ball. Nearly every time, I get some compliments that the sound of my blade is music to the ears when I am looping. Works really well with hard rubbers, gives them a fine touch, so it is easier to fine brush some opening loops or to receive serves. My setup is M1 (FH) and M2 (BH).

The blade has a unique dynamic range, so it needs time to get used to. It is better than ALC blades, because it has better touch, more power when needed. It has less throw angle, which is unlucky in some situations but comes in handy when facing a looper. This blade has far enough power far from the table, yet it performs well close to the table, when hitting down the line shots. Serves are slow and spinny. J.O. Signed both of my blades! :).

#74April 2017

A really solid blade. Quite stiff, but has good dwell time.

#75April 2017

It’s one of the best I have ever seen. Beautiful finish and design.

#76March 2017

This is a blade of immense quality. I have had top Butterfly blades, etc., but this is super.

#77February 2017

Excelente madera, buena velocidad y muy buen control; el producto posee muy buenas terminaciones.

#79October 2016

There are many reviews on this blade already, and I think they are all fair about this blade. Wonderful weapon for all-round/offensive players.

#80October 2016

This is my first blade. The first few test games made me feel like I had leveled up. A bit too fast for me, but I will get used to it. Nice quality. Shots are now more powerful and controlled.

#81September 2016

Быстрое и контрольное основание. Качество хорошее.

#82April 2016

The handle (ST) has an unusual shape. It tapers toward the head of the blade, giving the impression that your hand is “falling” into the top end of the grip. Additionally, it is relatively small in size, which may not suit users accustomed to thicker handles. This can make the blade feel somewhat flimsy.

Despite the uncomfortable handle, the blade itself is quite stiff, resulting in a lack of feel. Compared to the reviewer’s other 10 blades, the Waldner one ranked last in terms of preference. While it is well-made, it did not align with the reviewer’s preferences or playstyle.

If you prefer fast, light, and hard blades with minimal feel, this blade may be suitable for you to try.

#83March 2016

Super blade that can deliver all aspects of the game. Great control, speed acceleration, excellent for blocking with a huge sweet spot for hitting. Recommended to all from beginners to advanced players. Has all qualities that are needed to learn all facets of the sport.

#84February 2016

Super quality blade can handle everything thrown at it if proper technique is used. Blade has exceptional playing characteristics, 5-star blocking, speed as needed, super control, very nice touch and feel for easy ball placement. Handle is smooth, comfortable, and fits very well in hand. Blade weighed approximately 93 grams, and when matched with Formula Donic F3 Big Slam 2.0 on both sides, the blade is very light at approximately 178 grams, just right for me! I have a second blade for backup purposes if ever needed. Definitely my best blade of all time. Tabletennis11 making table tennis fun, enjoyable, and most of all very affordable. Highly recommended.

#85February 2016

It is a very good blade. Ball control, contact sound, and feeling are good.

#86November 2015

Powerful quality blade that offers accelerated speed as needed with great control. Has a nice soft touch and feel that makes ball placement come easy. Using Formula Donic Desto F3 Big Slam rubber 2.0 on both sides and the sound is tremendous and the total weight is 170 grams, which is light and great for me. Flared handle fits very nice in hand and feels great. This is a top-notch blade and best blade in my collection… by far. 5 STAR BLOCKING. Give it a try.

#87October 2015

Powerful blade is well balanced and offers accelerated speed as needed. Blade has a huge sweet spot that offers great control, and placement of the ball comes easy. Very impressive blade when blocking and no other like it. Five stars all the way. I use Formula Donic Desto F3 Big Slam soft rubber, and it matches up very well with this blade. Total weight of blade and rubber is 170 grams (light). The flared handle is very comfortable and fits very nicely in hand. Carbon placed next to the center ply wood gives this blade a nice softer touch compared to the Persson World Champion 89 blade that places the carbon next to the outer ply wood (harder feel). Tried both blades, and the Waldner blade works and feels better for me (self-preference). Blade is more OFF / OFF+. GREAT QUALITY, give it a try.

#88July 2015

Pros: Fast and very controllable, the handle is very comfortable for big hands.

Cons: The head is heavy, the weight is approximately 90 grams.

#89June 2015

非常好,不过有个问题,背面的圆形德国国旗容易掉。

#90October 2014

This blade shows a well-balanced style and stands out as one of the best blades for blocking. I still need to play more to get a full picture, though. Paired with DHS H3-50 FH and Nittaku Renanos Bright Light BH. Total weight: 180g.

#91September 2014

I just love this blade. Great speed. Good control. For my relatively big hands, the handle is feeling fantastic. I tried it with Tenergy 64FX, and its playing is really great, also the weight. And like always, a really fast delivery and great service!

#92August 2014

This blade is really nice. It has a good balance of speed and control, and it’s very well-made. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the blade itself is very durable. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and I’ve never had any problems with it. I would definitely recommend this blade to anyone looking for a good all-around blade.

#93July 2014

Feels great—barely stiff, powerful, and good control with Bluefire M1. Sounds good, also.

#94June 2014

Very nice new Donic blade with two outer plies of spruce, one Zylon/Carbon and Kiri.

I fitted two MX-P in max. It’s a very good looping blade. Compared with the Legend Carbon, it has a nice softer touch, is a bit slower, and has a bit higher throw.

It has less vibration than the Legend Carbon, but you always feel where and how you hit the ball. I like it more than the Boll ALC because of its softer touch. But I like more the ST handle of the ALC or the Legend Carbon, which is the same.

If you like powerful topspins, this is my recommendation.
