Apart from the blade head shape which is quite unique and can be a bit weird, it apparently adds some dynamics to your shot. If you can live with that, then you’re good.

So the conclusion is it’s a deal of the century. One heck of a blade, not slow at all. It’s loaded with control and speed. Spin generated is extra high with a sweet spot of a 7-ply blade.

Yes, I am not getting paid to boast about this product, hell no. It’s just too good and you don’t need to spend £150+. I really should get paid for testing these blades, never mind I am passion-driven.

Very good blade. It is fast and has a lot of spin. The backhand is powerful, but this blade is picky about forehand rubber. I have tried T05Hard, Valmo, Grip-s, and MX-P, but they are not suitable. Recently, I put Rakza X on it, wow, it’s wonderful! Rakza X is the very good rubber that suits it. I think Rakza X is the modern Mark V!

Review:

Same blade J.O. Waldner OFF limited from Japan package. The Waldner Offensive 2016 comes with a Donic standard box. It is a 5-plies wood without carbon, with a thickness of 5.8mm. Donic rating speed is 9+, which is accurate, as the blade is fast. However, the low-pitch sound provides a confident touch, and the dwell-time is still balanced, resulting in effective performance. This limited edition is worthwhile to collect.
