Donic Zhang Jike Original Carbon

Quite fast blade from Donic (but a lot less speed than a Synteliac ZCO for instance which would be 10 in speed for me). At first it’s a little stiff, but after some practice you get used to it. The feeling is great for 1st attacks, especially in backhand, even if the sweet spot is much less large compared to other blades. You still have control in the serve and receive part of the game. Amazing blade overall, worth every penny in my opinion (150€ in France) and a great alternative to carbon Butterfly blades.

Paired with Tibhar Hybrid K3 2.0mm on both sides.

What an epic release from Donic! This blade is truly one of a kind — it doesn’t resemble any existing Butterfly blade. It’s faster than the Viscaria, ALC, and even the Super Viscaria, yet it offers better control than the standard Viscaria and FZD!

My blade weighs 85g and has a frequency of 1580 Hz — incredibly fast, yet the control is exceptional. The sweet spot is wide and comparable to most Butterfly ALC blades. There’s virtually no vibration, and the feedback is crisp and clear. The handle feels excellent in hand.

It also generates a tremendous amount of spin when serving!

I paired it with Dignics 05 on both sides, and the performance was simply outstanding — overall, one of the best blades I’ve ever used.
