Reviews Summary

✨ AI-generated summary of customer reviews.

Pros

  • The Donic Appelgren Allplay table tennis blade is praised for its excellent control, solid feel, and sufficient speed for attacking. It has a perfect balance, not being head-heavy despite having max rubbers applied. The blade's control is much more than one can imagine, opening up new dimensions in the game.
  • The blade is highly recommended for beginners as it allows them to explore and learn all strokes. It is suggested to pair it with high-quality rubber without high tension for a better learning experience. Most of the speed and spin come from the player's ability, not their setup, and this blade allows for high speed and spin generation.
  • This blade is considered an all-time classic and is perfect for developing all the strokes. It is nice and flexy and feels absolutely solid and reliable, no matter whether you mainly chop, block, push, drive or loop. It is also a great choice for modern allrounders and defenders.

Cons

  • Despite its many advantages, the Donic Appelgren Allplay blade has been reported to feel heavier than it is rated, which could be a disadvantage for some players. The handle of the blade has also been criticized for its feel, with some users preferring the feel of other brands.
  • The blade's speed is not considered excellent, requiring more effort for loop drives, which could be a disadvantage for more aggressive players. Some users have also reported that the blade is a little too slow for their liking.
  • The flared handle of the blade is considered fairly big, which might not suit everyone. Some users have also reported that the blade lacks feeling, making it difficult to feel the hit.

Along with the Stiga All Round Classic and Yasaka Sweden Classic, this is a solid and affordable all-round all-wood blade. It does everything well from loops, blocks, and pushes to chops and serves, and it is well balanced (tend to be around 80g, but can fin them lighter than that). It has good feeling, then, and it is more in the ALL+ category I would say (the Yasaka Sweden Classic is a little slower) and definitely has enough speed to end a point, especially if you pair it with Tensors. It has an abachi core and then layers of limba, so it's flexy and has quite a lot of vibration. Many people spend far too much money on equipment in search of the perfect combo, and many players below 1800 (US) and 1500 (UK) level would do well to just choose a do-it-all blade like this and enjoy the high consistency and forgiveness. If you want something slower and equally affordable, go for the Donic Defplay Senso and re-size it as the ayous wood in that makes it more forgiving and (even) more flexy. (Incidentally, I use long pips on one side of the Appelgren for chopping with either 1.3mm or 1.5mm sponge, and it can be quite lively, but the flexibility works well with the pips if you are primarily cutting the ball, in my opinion, and the ALL+ make up gives you more options on the inverted side than a DEF+ blade.)

This is a good first blade. If you are starting to play then you should get an allround blade that has average speed. Avoid anything that is too fast or too slow because those blades make some strokes harder and some strokes easier. In the beginning you want to explore and learn all strokes. If you use high tension rubber on this blade then it will behave more like an offensive blade so I recommend avoiding high tension rubber in the beginning. High tension will make your shots faster, but they may come back just as fast and you may not be ready to make another good stroke. You should use DHS Hurricane 3, Yasaka Mark V or another high quality rubber without high tension. Such a setup is way better than most pre-made rackets for the same price. Once you master returning difficult services you can add high tension to your setup. If you are worried that you will be at a disadvantage by using such a setup then don't be. Most of the speed and spin comes from the player's ability, not their setup. You can generate high speed and spin using an allround blade with non-tensioned rubber. You just need to hit the ball harder and time your body, arm and wrist acceleration well.
