Donic Waldner Senso Carbon

Brilliant blade — lightweight but powerful. Feels great in the hand.

This blade is quite fast, still adapting to it. Cannot comment how long it will take to get used to its pace and develop control.

A notch up from the senso, more power and good control, speed, and spin, this carbon blade is perfect for larger venues.

Excellent, faster with more control.

Light wood and flexible, but for heavy hands accommodates a bit hard.

가벼운 블레이드이나 뿜어내는 파워가 상당히 만족스럽습니다. 센소 기술이 타구 시 소리도 경쾌하고 컨트롤이 진짜 좋습니다.

Strength: — Excellent flat game (all kinds of blocks, hits) — Good features close to table games (speed and control) — Light

Weakness: — Spin games — Far and 2nd zone game, it lacks speed and dynamics.

Fine blade for players close to the table looking for a balanced light blade. I played it for quite a long time before changing.

TableTennis11 ist sehr bewusst in der Konkurrenzpreisgestaltung. Ein Blick auf ihre Webseite ist fast ein Muss für Schnäppchenjäger.

Lovely feedback from this blade. This is a do-it-all blade for looping under spin, smashes, blocks, and punches. Not the fastest, but does everything well.

The racket is good for those who are learning the game as well as for those who know how to play, since you can tune it to perfection and to your liking using the right rubbers that are the best for you personally.

Unreal !

I chose this blade because of its sweet spot and offensive stats. So far, I feel that I made an excellent purchase.

I used to have an allround blade. Now more power has entered with my strikes. First the ball went out of the table many times. Then I adapted to the new blade by feeling the strike more and more. A funny thing is that the concentration I am now using with this new blade has been transferred too to other vital things, like increasing my meditation and concentration overall. This blade is very good for someone moving into the offense!

Отличное основание для любителя.

The blade has good control, giving me 95% consistency with fast pushes. It’s not too bouncy or too fast, achieving a perfect balance. The blade also has a large sweet spot, making it easy to control the ball.

It performed exceptionally well with the Palio CJ8000 rubbers, giving me the best control in my game. BH openers and flicks were effortless and easy.

The only minor issue is that this blade has a slightly different shape than other blades, which required me to trim the rubbers, sand the blade, or buy new rubbers. I believe this blade will be my last purchase, as it outperforms all my other blades and I plan to sell them.

I bought this blade for a friend at my club. He is happy with the overall performance of the blade after a few weeks of using it. I haven’t got an in-depth review from him yet, but he is happy as he moved from an all-wood to a carbon blade.

After using this blade for one year, I realized it is designed for close-to-table play. If you attempt to play mid or far distances, you will lose some power and require more force to hit (this may depend on the rubber used). I used it with Nittaku Fastarc G1 on the forehand and Sanwei Ultraspin T88 on the backhand. Overall, this is an affordable and suitable blade for beginners like myself.

Beautiful, very good control, spin.

The Donic Waldner Senso V2 blade has seven plies, not five (as stated on the Donic website). It weighs approximately 85 grams and is classified as a medium-fast blade, renowned for its exceptional touch. When paired with medium-hard or hard rubbers, this blade delivers impressive spin and performance. Minor grammatical adjustments have been made for clarity.

It is light and nimble, offering good control due to the combination of limba and inner alc. The small head size reduces the sweet spot somewhat, but this is a worthy trade-off for the increased maneuverability. It also provides good feedback with the senso handle.

Good speed.

Great blade, recommended. The FL handle is comfortable, not too fast, with a decent feeling.

I bought 2 rackets. In one of them, the handle broke after two months. There may have been a problem when I got the rackets.

This is the second time I buy the same rackets, and I am very happy with them.

It is a very light blade. It has high control, good spin. Every topspin will land on the table. Won’t go off the table, unlike some bad quality blades. But lack of power. Especially if you put soft rubbers like Xiom Vega Europe, it will be almost impossible to smash. It suits well with DHS Hurricane 3. After changing the blades, there will be enough splintering. Very thin outer layer. Weak in construction.

This blade is one of the best you can find on the market if you want to be able to do everything with a blade. You can play offense with it, as well as defense. All strokes are very controllable with it. Speed is more than adequate if you have the correct stroke and don’t just rely on the blade for power. It is a versatile blade with tremendous control. Well done, Donic!

Allround+ speed, good control and quality. Doesn’t suit me, and its head size is too small for kids and juniors perhaps. Mine is only 152 mm long and 150 mm wide. Is Donic trying to be too cheap?

Very good for the price. I think Waldner really played with it. Good for the intermediate level.

Very good control for a carbon blade like this. Love it.

It is good for beginners like me. It helps you really feel the ball, has a good dwell time, and is a spinny blade.

This blade is amazing, can’t beat its price in my opinion. I used to play with Tibhar Samsonov Pro with MXP rubbers FH and BH and it was actually a very good racket, but I find myself with this blade. I use Donic Acuda S2 and Donic Bluefire m2 rubbers. Thought it would be more difficult to control, but actually feels great. I will keep it for some time for sure. Great service from your site, delivery to Albania in less than 2 days, very pleased, not the first time.

I’m sure this blade could adapt to any style of play. It’s a very balanced blade. It is very light. A carbon blade that gives you a fantastic feeling.

I have tried it with Bluefire M1 and Bluestorm Z2 on my forehand, and Spectol Red (short pips) on my backhand. I can do anything with it. Loop, smash, counter topspin, chop, etc.

I’ve tried many blades before (Butterfly Gergely 21, Primorac, Stiga Clipper Offensive Oversized, Donic Waldner Legend Carbon), and I could say that this blade is my favorite of all.

Имел удовольствие поиграть этой доской пару месяцев, в меру контрольно и усилить вполне возможно. Ее я строил игру возле стола, и все мои ожидания она оправдала. По цене и качеству одна из лучших. Использовал мои любимые накладки Yasaka Rakza 7 с двух сторон, в разнице только толщина: 2.0 и 1.8.

Для начинающих вряд ли подойдет, для вас — что-нибудь из пятислойного дерева и обязательно ALL, а вот для опытных игроков, имеющих школу за плечами, вполне сгодится.

Справедливости ради надо отметить: через пару месяцев я ее поменял на Nittaku Violin — пятислойка, чистое дерево и чуть быстрее.

Set up with TSP Super Ventus FH and Razaka 7 BH, great speed and control.

For me, this is the best blade, an ideal blade for me, with well-balanced control and speed. It has many gears.

My verdict: excellent blade.

Great wood, just what I have expected.

Excellent blade. It’s easy to play with, very forgiving, and has excellent control.

- Do you think the Andro Rasanter 42 ultramax could be an option for an all-around, attacking blade?

- Andro Rasanter 42 ultramax, a slightly tuned blade for all-around attacking play.

29 October 2019: I use an anatomical handle, which is great for backhand (BH). Rubbers: Nanoflex FT 48 + Rakza 7 Soft (great BH rubber, very spinny).

The blade is a blocker’s dream. Great flex, nice feeling in hand (ball hitting blade), no annoying vibrations. Control is less than Joola Rossi Emotion.

Jan-Ove Waldner used this ply—just perfect.

It has been a while since I have held a custom-built racket, and I can truly say that this was definitely a good value for the money, given that I was able to buy it at a discount. It gives great feedback, and the racket itself is an all-rounder that adapts well with your type of play.

Me encantó esta madera, trasmite bastante y la tengo emparejada con Evolution FX-P. ¡Mucho control y gran giro!

My review for this blade would be: Control: 10/10; Speed: 7/10. You can really feel the ball in every single shot.

Excellent blade with good control and speed, and the price is excellent. I am currently an advanced player, and this bat is more than enough for my level.

Blade Review:

As an intermediate attacking player, I’ve equipped this blade with Omega VII Euro 2mm on FH and Musa I max on BH.

The blade exhibits excellent control and generates impressive spin. Its versatility allows for a wide range of shots. It provides ample power for decisive play.

I occasionally switch between this blade and the Xiom Musa Asia blade, depending on my preference for a carbon touch.

Me gusta mucho, no pesa tanto, ya que el mango es hueco.

Really love this blade for the feeling it gives when contacting the ball. For those vibrations/feedback that I get when hitting, it is very informative. Great feel.

Also, control and power are very well balanced.

Very comfortable handle (FL).

Use it in combination with Donic Bluefire M2 and M3 (2mm) on my forehand and backhand respectively. Very pleased with the combination. Thanks TT11 for fast and high-quality service!

Great blade!!

With Donic waldner senso carbon blade, you can feel the ball while hitting. It is 5+2 (wood + carbon) layers.

I have played competitive table tennis representing my University, and anyone would agree that table tennis is all about the feel for the ball because the racket is considered just an extension of the hand.

The hollow senso technology handle gives a good feel (though initially I was not sure how good the hollow handle will feel).

Some users have commented it to be head heavy, but in reality, it is very balanced.

This blade is good for blocking and an offensive game. Superb control.

If you are looking for a blade with good speed, superb control, and an all-round game, then you can’t beat Donic waldner senso carbon, as it is a bang for the money. I got it on discount.

Awesome blade.

Мой экземпляр 85 г, ручка ST. По качеству исполнения скажу, что не впечатлен. Верхний слой имеет неоднородную структуру и нуждается в лакировке (заказывайте её прямо здесь, делают качественно и бесплатно), есть неровности на ручке. Хоть мое основание и распродажное, такие же акционные основания от Yasaka и Tibhar качеством получше.

Теперь о хорошем. Основание всеядно к накладкам. Стратегия игры от All до Off в зависимости от выбранных накладок. Даже Хуриканы на нем играют хорошо, единственное — нужно следить за балансом. Основание среднегибкое с информативной вибрацией в области ладони.

Рекомендую тем, кто хочет перейти с чистого дерева на карбон, но не хочет слишком быстрое основание.

Very pleased with the quality..... Excellent!!!!! Recommendable.

This is the best blade out of 50 that I have tried, and the service that TABLETENNIS11 provides is the best you can get. Thank you, TABLETENNIS11.

Outstanding blade! I found the Donic Waldner Senso Carbon to have great feel and touch. I attached MX-P rubbers to it and even though I was using hard rubbers, I still felt like I had lots of control and feel. The Senso handle really works. Later, I tried Tibhar Evolution EL-P rubbers to see how well it performs with softer rubbers. This blade handled every type of rubber that I put on it and continued to give me a sense that it was a mere extension of my hand. I am an absolute fan of the Senso Carbon series. Donic makes outstanding blades and you don’t have to spend all of your savings to afford one. I highly recommend this product.

Отличная доска. Нескольким игрокам пошла в руку отлично. Очень контрольна, подойдёт для атакеров — 1-я, 2-я зоны.

Waldner is my legend

Yep, the title pretty much says it all. I love DWSC so much, I actually bought this blade as a spare one (my primary is also DWSC).

Un peso excelente, gracias a su fibra de carbono, la combinación perfecta entre peso y potencia.

I love this blade! It’s a dream made real. My first real weapon! I’m an allrounder so the speed is enough for me, the control is really awesome, and the consistency is 100%. I was afraid because the carbon will be stiff and not flexible, but with the techno senso, they really hit the spot! It’s assembled with a Rakza 7 and an MX-P, and I’ve got great control. I am a beginner though. A marvelous blade. Top notch and a must try. If you’re an allrounder and want to feel the ball even with a carbon blade, then go for it!

I purchased the Waldner Senso Carbon (WSC) and Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon (WUSC) simultaneously and equipped both with Tibhar 5Q 2.1mm on the FH side and FX-P 2.1mm on the BH side. Both bare blades weigh 85g, resulting in a total weight of 178g with rubbers attached. The WUSC features equal thicknesses for its third, center, and fourth layers. In contrast, the WSC has a thick center layer flanked by four thinner outer layers, resembling traditional 5-layer blades. Both blades have carbon layers adjacent to the center layer.

Хорошее основание. Очень доволен.

This is a good blade with decent manufacturing quality. I used it with Xiom Vega Pro on forehand and Vega Europe on backhand.

This blade is flexy, and with tensors at high impact stroke acts as a cannon, and the shot becomes uncontrollable, and the ball travels beyond the table edge. With a powerful stroke, the flex of the blade and the release of the ball from the rubber sponge combined together make a force which is difficult to control. On slow strokes, there is no problem and it works fine, but on powerful strokes with a tensor, there is a huge problem in the form of an uncontrollable catapult effect.

I tried this blade with Mark V and Mendo, and it works fine with classic rubbers.

I won’t recommend this blade for tensors, but for classic rubbers it’s ok, though nothing exceptional.

Полностью удовлетворен, для меня это самое сбалансированное основание. Более подходит для агрессивной игры, хороший контроль. Приобрёл два таких основания, для ACUDA Blue P2 и ACUDA Blue P3. Разница сразу заметна: на P3 больше контроля, а значит, точности в попадании на стол. Советую!

For all kinds of strokes, best for block, light, for rookies, for professionals, evergreen.

Very nice blade with good control and medium fast!

Good feeling blade with a cheap price. Fast delivery, thanks tt11.

This blade is not 5-plies, but rather 7-plies with a thickness of approximately 5.55mm (Limba0.5mm*2, Ayous0.5mm*2, Carbon0.025mm*2, Ayous center ply3.5mm). All plies are made from soft wood.

Overall, the blade provides excellent flex for topspin, as the carbon layers are very thin and positioned on the third ply. This results in a blade that feels like natural wood while providing an increased sweet spot. I have been using this slow carbon blade with Tenergy05 on both sides, resulting in a weight of 177g. The speed is moderately high, and spin is generated easily, making it an excellent all-around blade, which is well-suited for my playing style.

I got this blade with Acuda P2 on my backhand and Bluefire M1 on my forehand. For the backhand, it’s perfect in all things. For forehand, it’s really fast, taking into account that it’s originally Off-All+.

For me, it’s more like Off-. It’s a good blade, and I will see how it goes with time.

Update: Absolutely perfect in everything. My flat hits with the backhand are effective, and the serves have a lot of spin.

Fast blade, control not so good, anatomic handle makes control even harder.

I like this blade. I can’t tell if it’s a 3+2 or 5+2, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s evenly balanced, probably because of the handle coring process. I was a little bummed by the hollow sound and corresponding hollow feeling that this produced. So I stuffed it with lightweight Styrofoam and capped it off with natural cork from a champagne bottle ('09 Taittinger: very nice:). This totally changed those characteristics to a much better feel and sound. It added about 1g to the handle weight. Overall, IMO, it’s an ALL+/OFF- blade. For the price, it’s a good buy. Intermediate and advanced players who are offensively oriented will enjoy the way it plays (although it lacks speed). If you use all-wood and are considering switching to carbon, this is a good blend that maintains the flex and feel of a wood blade yet gives you the extra carbon punch and sweet spot. It’s economical enough to not feel like you blew all your hard-earned money on another quest for the holy grail of table tennis blades. Try it, I think you’ll like it! Thanks TT11, your prices and customer service are top-notch!

Гуд!

Хорошее основание, покупал для друга.

Lemn foarte bun cu un control mare. Se potrivește cu multe tipuri de fețe. Stimă.

My first composite blade ever. I stuck with it for a year, then I left it for Maze Passion. My blade was 87 gr. This blade is categorized OFF-, but I would rather say it is AR+ due to the soft touch and flexibility. It works well with all Bluefire rubbers, Joola MAXXX 500, Tenergy 05, and DHS Tinarc 3.

The main point is to equip it with nearly the same rubbers in hardness and weight; otherwise, the blade will resonate hard. I often found that the blade did not have the rigidity to support a harder rubber like JP 01 when hitting. This feels like you are just hitting with the rubber surface, but where is the sponge and the power?

Even with M2, the setup becomes very head heavy, which was good for my backhand but gave a slide curve to my forehand loops. But because of the elasticity of the blade, it is a very nice looping blade up to mid-court, with high throw and big spin. Close to the table, the softness comes in handy when blocking or placing the ball.

The neck of the blade is very wide, and the handle goes into the head deep. The head is butterfly-shaped, but the handle protrudes into it 2 mm. I had to sand down the neck of the blade to match the Butterfly neck shape, and the blade became a bit more flexible with even more spin.

I really loved this blade. It made me feel like nothing was impossible to mid-distance, but after that, my shots became weak. So this was the reason I went to faster blades.

Mine weighs 92gr (10 gr more than my korbel), so I was slightly disappointed about that. However, this is a very controllable offensive blade that is not too fast and can handle a wide range of shots.

I confess that I was expecting more from this table tennis blade. It has good control, decent speed, and is light in weight. This makes it a good overall blade; however, it doesn’t excel in any particular aspect.

I have been using WSC for a few weeks. The feel is solid, and the control is great. It is easier to loop with than most carbon blades. It is not too fast.

This blade is amazing!

As a beginning pro player, my focus is on getting the ball on the table smartly. I have DHS Hurricane Neo rubbers on both the forehand and backhand. Surprisingly, this blade was designed for softer rubbers, but I have put hard Chinese rubbers on it, and the results are fantastic. The straight handle is my personal favourite.

If you are an all-around player like me who favours smart play with a lot of control but wants to maintain overall speed and receive (which is unmatched), you know what I’m going to say.

I use a combination of attacking and receiving with a bit of Chinese technique. Despite being on the shorter side, I can still squat, receive, and push back the ball.

I simply adore it. It is my first love blade.

It will be with me for a very long time.

This is a universal blade. Almost all kinds of rubbers work well on it.

I used it with Stiga Fx, Bluefire M3, P7, and finally Neo Hurricane 3. With soft rubbers like Stiga Fx and M3, it provides a lot of feel, control, and enough spin and speed. I recommend this combo for intermediate loopers. Using spiny medium hard rubbers like P7 makes it a perfect looping machine capable of doing spiny serves. I found it really good for blocking, but my forehand flat hitting was not accurate enough when I used P7 for the forehand. Also, power looping (over the table) and doing very short, spiny serves were a bit tricky, so I decided to find a rubber for my forehand side, the Neo Hurricane 3. It was my first experience with Chinese rubber (really hard and tacky).

In the first session, during the warming up, I realized that my forehand counter hits became faster and more accurate. After one hour of practice, I was able to execute deadly loops and really spiny short serves. It took three sessions to learn how to block well.

Therefore, my perfect combination is: Forehand: Neo Hurricane 3 (black 2.2mm) Backhand: Adidas P7 (red, MAX)

And my last word: WSC is a great blade, and in case of proper set up, it is capable of doing everything you want.

Update: After my playing level improved (need for more speed), I decided to modify the senso handle. First, I filled the handle with rubber sponge, which resulted in less vibration and a little more speed in distance play (short game remaining the same). The second modification was using a 2 mm wood piece to fill the end of the handle, which resulted in more speed with less vibration (in short play, speed increased a tad with soft touch, but in distance play, it feels nearly stiff and faster). The third modification was in the shape of the handle to make it more comfortable. It has good quality wood that can be easily sanded; therefore, with the right tool and patience, you can have your own customized handle.

I got the JO shape, not the regular shape.

WSC is a very good blade!

Very good control and speed with bluefire m1 max on both sides.

First great company to deal with… 100% “buy with complete confidence, wherever you are in the world.” Arrived in UK in good time and all correct. I tried this blade after trying over 10 different ones. I found some too slow and some too hard and fast; this one has an excellent soft woody feel yet has plenty of speed, great loops. I am an all-around attacker and this blade is perfect...... Thank you tabletennis11, expect more orders in the future.

The word “universal” best describes this blade, as it is highly controllable. It may not be inherently fast, but when paired with medium to hard tensor rubbers, it transforms into a formidable attacking weapon.

When playing passively or executing pushes, the blade exhibits exceptional control. It also generates highly spinny loops when used with softer rubbers.

While under attack, this blade excels in blocking, counterlooping, and smashing opponents' topspins.

Nianmor was not my choice. Since tabletennis11.com does not export Butterfly products to India, I had to go for this. It is an extremely fast rubber with fine touch, takes time to settle into your hands, but once done, this rubber is a killer one for offensive players.

Sorry, but the provided text does not contain any information about the head thickness of the blade.

Good blade, but I expected it to provide better control and feeling. Quite disappointed. I sold it after three months.

Update: I played again with my friend’s WSC after eight months while my level increased a little, and now I find it excellent. The control is very good for its speed, excellent for topspin, smashes, or blocks. Not better than my Viscaria (neither in terms of feeling, speed, control), but still a very good blade. Very good with Bracuda but superb with Tenergy 05. I recommend it!

Two of my teammates use this blade. They have different playing styles (both of them are allround attackers, but): 1st player is left-handed, stays close to the table, has a great FH topspin attack and serve, and usually blocks when attacked. 2nd player usually stays close to the table, chops/pushes with variable spin until he gets a high ball which he usually attacks with a BH drive or FH spin/drive, and lobs/topspins away from the table when attacked.

They also sport different setups: 1st player has FH Donic Bluefire / BH Donic Acuda S2. 2nd player has FH Donic Acuda S2 / BH Butterfly Tackiness C.

Both of them literally swear by this blade. In fact, teammate #2 recently broke his bat (he went TOO close to the table, I guess: -D) and ordered a new Donic WSC the next day via my TT11 account.

Absolutely love this blade! I moved from Primorac to this as my level increased, and I don’t regret it one bit. I use a pair of barracuda’s and it’s really great for looping. It’s also great for blocking. The handle (fl) is really comfortable, the best I’ve tried. I’m gonna buy a second blade, just in case, because I intend to use the Waldner Senso Carbon for a long time!

It is a really fantastic blade, thanks to tabletennis11.com.

Last year I purchased this bat from tabletennis11 when I was trialling Mark V rubber for the first time. For me, it was an inspired guess, as this bat has helped me to become much more confident in my all-round play.

More recently, I bought a second Donic Waldner Senso Carbon as a backup blade, which is testimony to the faith I now have in this superb, beautifully balanced, fast bat. I think anyone buying this product will be very pleased with the undoubted quality of this item.

Muy buenos productos, manejando una excelente atención y puntualidad.

I’m unsure if my Donic Waldner Senso V1 is authentic, as it appears to have 7 plies instead of the advertised 5. Examination reveals 5 wooden plies and 2 carbon layers, with the carbon layers situated after the core ply and 2 thin wooden plies after the carbon ply.

Regarding the blade’s performance, it provides excellent control when paired with Haifu Whale 2 Soft for forehand and Nittaku Hammond for backhand. The forehand control and spin are outstanding, enabling confident shot execution. The speed is adequate, not as fast as typical carbon blades but sufficient for generating the required velocity.

As my first carbon blade after the DHS Hurricane Hao, the transition from a soft, high-flex blade to a stiffer, faster one was seamless. I’ve come to appreciate this blade immensely. The Nittaku Hammond on the backhand provided limited spin, but its control and speed facilitated easy hitting and driving. Looping proved challenging, prompting me to switch to Haifu Whale Soft on the backhand.

While this combination may appear weighty, the upgraded Haifu products are noticeably lighter. The overall weight is comparable to my previous combination of Hurricane 2 and Nittaku Hammond on the Hurricane Hao.

Ultimately, the blade’s performance is influenced by the choice of rubbers. With my current combination, I experience high control and exceptional spin. This blade is an ideal option for those considering their first carbon blade.

Great upgrade from Donic Appelgren Allplay Senso V1. More speed, more stiffness, and more hardness, with the same control. Not crazy fast (a bit faster than BTF Primorac).

My brother owns the Waldner Senso Carbon blade, and I got to try it for a while. I own the model after this, the Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon. I thought I would focus on comparing the two since I am in a position to do so, and I imagine more than one person will be comparing the two when they buy.

The first thing I noticed was the difference in the carbon layers: the Ultra has the carbon layers deeper in the plies, like the Darker brand hinoki/carbon composite blades, or the Butterfly Innerforce blades. Only taking into account the feel, I actually prefer the Ultra. It feels more woody, particularly when not hitting hard. The Waldner feels closer to the way Butterfly’s best-selling carbon blades do (Boll ALC, the Michael Maze, Viscaria, etc…), a bit of a “ping” to it since the carbon is nearer the surface. The Ultra and the Waldner are quite different in this respect. I recommend hitting with both before buying if you are unsure.

The Ultra has more power from mid-distance, so much that it can be difficult to control. The Waldner, on the other hand, feels solidly OFF-, as Donic advertises. For a carbon blade, the Waldner has great control, and that is no small compliment. No surprise that Ovtcharov uses the Waldner to reign in the freaks he has to play. It is professional quality, no question. If you are unsure whether you have the technique and experience to steer the wild OFF+ power of the Ultra, or if control is a clear priority for you, then I recommend the Waldner as clearly the best choice.

My brother’s Waldner is a FL handle, my Ultra is ST. Though I have a preference for ST handles (and highly recommend the ST handle of either blade), I have to say the FL handle on the Waldner is the most comfortable, best-designed FL handle I have ever experienced. I am a grown man with big hands, and small handles irritate me. The Waldner FL is fantastic. If I wanted an FL handle, this would be it.

All in all, the Waldner is a fantastic blade. I like it better than my own Ultra. It is particularly nice that it costs half to a third what comparable blades cost. Well done, Donic!

Control, stable, from an average zone quite suffices; quality for this price was pleasant. To shop separate thanks for a gift.

This is the most balanced (“do it all”) blade that I have ever played with. With the right rubbers, you can have amazing control in the short game and finishing power at the same time. It is a very good tactical weapon for tactical players.

Perfectly controlled offensive blade. TT11 were very helpful in giving me the right weight. Also, very fast deliverance.

There’s not much that hasn’t already been said about this blade, but it’s a good all-around looping blade. It has enough flex to loop from a decent distance, but it’s still quite solid in the short game. The carbon layers are a reasonable distance away from the outer plies, which gives it a more “woody” feel than a harsh, fast carbon blade.

This is as good an attacking blade as one is likely to find. Certainly the best I’ve played with. The quality of its construction is obvious and the feel of it is a joy. I only wish I’d played sooner with it in my playing career.

I have tried many blades in the past, but this one is my favorite. Excellent speed and wonderful control; the ball feels like with no other blade. Just don’t put heavy rubbers on it because it makes it head heavy and changes the balance. Good luck to all table tennis players.

Wow, what a blade! It’s got the power and the enlarged sweet spot, but who would have guessed that it had so much feeling and control? It’s the best blade I have used so far. I had the Butterfly offensive blade before this as well as the Donic P power speed.

The blade is fantastic but not too fast. It has a good balance between speed and control, making it suitable for a wide range of players. The blade is also very well-made, with a high-quality finish.

Overall, this is a great blade that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good all-around blade.

This is the blade, the Mozart of table tennis, that Jan-Ove Waldner himself uses. Yesterday, he won his 9th Swedish championship in Halmstad with it. He won his first 27 years ago! He played incredibly well, with fast footwork. He made his 16-year-younger opponent, Per Gerell, look old. It was a tactically perfect game by the master himself.

Oh, the review…This is a fast offensive blade with maximum control. It is slightly slower than the M.Maze blade but has greater control. It behaves a lot like it, in my opinion. It is a little front-heavy compared to the M.Maze blade, but with fast rubber, it will come alive. If you want a carbon do-it-all blade, this should be among your alternatives.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating trying this blade for some time now. It’s a solid blade, not excessively fast but with ample speed. The handle shape is exceptionally comfortable.

The only aspect I find lacking is the sound. Additionally, it’s not advisable to use heavy rubbers (such as BWII) on this blade, as they will compromise its exceptional control. However, this is a common limitation for Senso blades.

I’ve achieved optimal results with a relatively light 1.8 or 2 mm rubber on the backhand and Tenergy 64 on the forehand.

Despite its merits, I wouldn’t replace my TB ALC with this blade. When playing at high intensity, it lacks some punch from mid-distance, making my counterattacks somewhat ineffective. However, if you maintain close proximity to the table, this blade becomes a formidable weapon due to its relatively lightweight (mine weighs 82 grams).

My impression is that this blade was specifically designed for close-to-the-table gameplay, where it truly excels.

Wow, this blade has great control and feels great in my hand. It’s definitely slower than my old Gergely, which is incredibly fast. However, with this blade, I can attack with a lot more spin than I could with the Gergely, which may be due to its less stiff nature.

The handle is very comfortable.

On the forehand side, I am using Tinarc 3 rubber, and on the backhand side, I am using Tinarc rubber.

The rubber seems to perform better with this blade, but I can’t quite explain why.

This carbon blade could be the perfect companion for both beginners and experienced players alike. All you need to do is change out the rubber when necessary.

Overall, I’m very impressed with this blade.

I think the reason why this blade was so controllable is that the carbon was placed deep inside, like the inner fiber of Butterfly. It holds the ball really well.

Ever fell in love with a girl who is easy to understand, caring, and at the same time, a firecracker in bed??

You got the same in TT, in terms of your girl, i.e., your bat.

One of my favorite blades!

Unless physically abused, this blade will serve you across generations! You change your playing style? No issues, change the rubber accordingly and you have your perfect TT bat!

Want to play defensive and spinny? My doubles partner plays with Sriver EL and 729 FX, and the blade responses with loops and underspins.

Want to play Allround? My mixed doubles partner plays with the same ply with Mark V on both sides.

Want to challenge your opponent in terms of speed and spin? I play with this ply with Tibhar Genius + in FH (my favorite for some time now while using a fast ply), and Tenergy 25 in BH (my pace is stronger in BH due to the ligament injury on my right shoulder - yes, I am right-handed).

Ask my opponents what happens when I have a good day in “hunting”. Lol!!

This is one blade that can be used as your first Carbon blade, and your last Carbon blade as well!

With Tensor rubbers, this blade can take up an amazing kind of speed due to the two carbon plies tucked just under the top ply. I can certify that as I do use it. I have heard my opponents using very nasty words towards me after they received my pushes against the service. For services that I could return from close to the net, my pushes worked as fast as lazy smashes, and the receiver had too little time to react to it!

I do get amazing dwell time to put my looping topspin across the board.

Do remember in mind, this IS a docile woman in your hand, but how you put her to use depends on you, and your playing style!!

A really FANTASTIC product from Donic.

I have been using this blade for over a year and I love it! Yes, it doesn’t have the speed of other carbon blades, but with the senso handle (V1), the touch is excellent, giving a great ‘wood’ feel. This, along with the 2 carbon plies, gives good control and great accuracy.

I have been using the Donic Copper X1 Gold (max) for my forehand, and the looping is great, with good dwell (med/med-high dwell) at mid to far distance. The elastic nature of this blade (it is fairly soft for OFF blade) also adds good spin to the ball for loops. Pushes aren’t its strongest feat; they can go high and long, but not too bad.

Overall, it’s a great blade with great touch and feel. It’s especially suitable for looping mid-distance and can accommodate various all-round to offensive styles to a point.

The blade is renowned for its exceptional control and speed, earning it the reputation of the “Mozart of all blades.” Its versatility allows it to pair seamlessly with various rubbers, as demonstrated by the effective combination of FH: Tenergy 05 1.9mm and Yasaka Rakza 7 1.8mm BH. This blade empowers players to execute a wide range of shots with precision and finesse.

This table tennis blade offers a very good balance between speed and control. I have been using it for about 2 years with different Donic rubbers, including Coppa Speed, Baracuda, and Desto F2.

Got it a few days ago. Coupled with Mark V on both sides, I must say that it lives up to the expectations I had about it.

I was a little worried about its control, but well, I am surprised that it provides so much control with the speed. It gives a good feel of the ball rolling/hitting when you execute a drive or a kill.

It’s a good all-round/OFF- blade. I am loving it!

I use it with both sides Andro Revo Fire 1.8 mm. The blade is more than fast enough. I think people who say it is an all-round blade must have very poor technique. It is definitely an OFF blade, but there are faster blades. Good for players who like the larger sweet spot and stiffness of carbon. A better-than-average blade that can produce amazing shots with good technique. Not suited for defenders because it is too fast.

Bad things (from my viewpoint):

- Senso+st handle: Head heavy, may require lighter rubbers. - Produces an unpleasant sound. - Emits an unexplained odor. - Neck shape is uncomfortable and required sanding to improve. - Not ideal for smashes or flat hits. - May send the ball too high for pushes.

Good things:

- Flex: Excellent looping capabilities. - Sufficient power from all distances. - Versatile, suitable for smashes, flat hits, and various styles. - Lightweight.

Overall impression: A very good looping blade.

This blade is a great all-rounder/OFF-. Its control is really good, especially for people used to stiff and fast blades. It pairs perfectly with Tenergy 05, but I have not yet tried the new FX.

Not the fastest among carbon blades, but it offers superb control. Easy to handle for players of all skill levels. With the right rubbers, it can transform into a powerful weapon with exceptional accuracy. My personal opinion: a FANTASTIC blade!

I use a Donic Waldner Senso Ultra Carbon and I would like to know something. I am using it with 2 old rubbers, The Rapid Soft. As I am hitting with the ball I hear a TOK TOK, which sounds like a beginner’s racket. Is it like that or are my rubbers killing, so to speak, my blade? Thanks!.

This is a great blade. I use it with Butterfly Tempest rubber, and it works exceptionally well. The blade provides valuable feedback on every strike, which I greatly appreciate. It’s relatively lightweight and excels as an offensive blade. I highly recommend it.

This is an exceptional blade. I use it with Tenergy 05 and it works beyond belief!!!.

This is a very good blade, and I would recommend it to any offensive player. The blade delivers an exceptional feel. The very light weight allows for a fast stroke, which gives the ball extra spin.

Very good blade with very good feel and control. I really love it!

It is a good blade, a tad faster than the Korbel, but they are very similar. It is a bit stiffer too but still loops well. It is on the higher side of OFF.
