Donic Xtreme
Blade description:
The Donic Xtreme is a composite blade featuring a 5+2 construction that incorporates Spread Tow Carbon. Designed for an aggressive, spin-oriented game, it provides high-level speed and performance similar to traditional carbon blades like the Viscaria, yet offers a more distinct, substantial feel and improved feedback. The blade exhibits a unique dynamic: it maintains moderate, controlled speed during passive play, such as blocking, short pushes, and service returns, but delivers significant power and acceleration when executing hard, attacking shots.
Playing Characteristics
- Feel and Feedback: The blade is noted for its high degree of touch and precision, allowing players to feel the ball clearly on impact. The outer plies provide a soft, slightly flexy sensation that aids in generating spin.
- Performance: It is highly effective for loops, counter-looping, and flat hitting. It produces a long, aggressive arc that causes the ball to kick and accelerate rapidly off the table.
- Consistency: The blade is characterized as stable and reliable, rewarding users with refined technique. Due to its performance levels, it is generally recommended for experienced players who can execute full strokes.
- Construction: The Spread Tow Carbon technology allows for high power without the weight penalty often associated with traditional carbon fiber, resulting in a nimble, balanced feel.
Handle and Build
- Handle Design: The blade features a thin handle profile, often compared to the dimensions of pencil-like grips found on some DHS models. Users with a preference for thicker handles may find the grip slim, occasionally necessitating the use of grip tape to optimize comfort.
- Weight Distribution: While the blade is generally perceived as light and thin, users should be aware that the center of gravity may shift toward the blade head depending on the weight and choice of rubbers applied.

Woke. Super fancy woke blade.

What a blade! In the past, I used some Nittaku, Butterfly Viscaria, and Korbel blades. In recent years, I experimented with Donic Dotec & Dotec carbon (for sure I loved the handle—length, thickness).
Based on my Dotec experience, there is coming only one con—handle thickness on Xtreme. It feels like a pencil in the hand (most probably it is only my issue due to Dotec thickness). I am forced to use Yonex tape (I really recommend), causing improper evaluation of blade vibration for me, as it is just great.
Control is incredible—passive play, blocks, or short receives are very easy. On the other hand, still enough power for powerful smashes or spins, nice trajectory for under-the-table spins. Technique needs precision—open racket shots are going off.
Also, what surprised me, with Z1 & Z2 both in max+ (total weight 194g), the center of gravity is too far in the blade head—it feels very uncomfortable for the wrist. Luckily, in my case, it was slightly compensated by the Yonex tape (which also relieved pressure). With the Dotec blade and the same rubbers, the center of gravity was closer to the middle (on the other hand, it was missing power, maybe because of this).
I cannot be more lucky to choose this blade—super power with incredible control. 10/10
