balanced between speed and control, its similar to viscaria with less spin and speed, and the materials is not that good as bty, but its good enough for its price

Donic Skachkov Carbon
by Donic
The blade of a world-class player, Kirill Skachkov, who qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games. This blade has an outer-ply construction – the carbon being located just under the top layers. The blade has a much greater feeling and offers greater ball control than other aggressive carbon blades, which are very difficult to control.
Class: OFF+
Ply: 7 ply 5 + 2 aramid-carbon layers
Speed: 90
Control: 70
Weight: 85g

Reviews of Donic Skachkov Carbon (6)
its very good blade, and its balanced between speed and control, its similar to viscaria with less spin and speed, and the materials is not that good as bty, but its good enough with lacquring
Very popular blade in Russia, even one of the most popular. It has good price and a lot of value for this money.
This blade doesnt have a lot of speed (8 out of 10), but feelings are excellent. A liittle muted but clear feeling and some elastic in the center of blade. So hardness I think between medium and medium-hard, but It feels as medium, clear and unique.
I haven't been playing it on long distance (cant say anything), but on close and mid distances it is great.
I tried it at the same time as dhs 301, pro01 and harimoto alc.
***Speed: Pro01 > Harimoto > 301 > Skachkov
***Block: Pro01 > Skachkov > Harimoto > 301
***Control: Skachkov (great job with low speed balls) > Pro01 (very good) > Harimoto (I dont know, perhaps It needs other rubbers, now T19 & Bluestorm Z2) > 301 (not enough energy to return rotten flat balls over net)
***Feelings: Pro01 (exceptional clear) > Skachkov (bouncy everywhere) > 301 (flexible & no linear speed) > Harimoto (bad feelings, but you can play if you havent learned it)
***Loops: not sure, every blade is not bad there
***Handle (FL): Skachkov = Pro-01 > 301 (a little bit small) > Harimoto (sligtly uncomfotable)
I really love play Skachkov close to table and mid distance using tactical game, changing tempo and directions.
My Skachkov is paired with Dhs Goldarc8 (perfect) and Dhs 8-80 (I need to get used to this). Two Dhs Goldarc8 would be excellent set.
Recommend to try!

alc outer carbon.
koto, alc, ayous, kiri, ayous, alc, koto (with a very beatifull scales pattern in the koto surface and a thick ayous layers).
Speed: Skachkov carbon ? Viscaria (very similars)
Control: Skachkov carbon > Viscaria (a lot of control)
A pro blade with a high performance for a third of the price of similar blades. (I got it for 47 euros, i suppose its a product focused to east europe or south east asian markets but, its cheaper than Viscaria alternatives of alc outer from alliexpress...)

Great blade, can do everything well. Ive been playing with G1 in the FH and p1r. It can block close to the table, chop from mid and long distance with the pips with good control, and it gets a good amount of reversal! With the FH it can attack very well, I like it with higher throw rubbers like g1, rakza z or t05, all of them work well, I did try it with a nittaku factive and it had great control, very easy and consistent to flat hit.
Its fast but not too fast, something between a Viscaria and a if alc or a korbel (for example a 100g korbel is faster). The feel is slightly muted but has good vibrations and feedback from the ball, similar to a IF ALC but a bit crispier contact from the koto outer piles. The blade is quite linear on power delivery, not like others that have clear and distinct gears once you engage the carbon.
The blade size is larger than normal, about 159x152mm. Weight is about 85g with the balance towards the head, the wood in the handle is very light, gets head heavy easily. The ST version is square and thick, very comfortable for big hands and great to twiddle.
The finish quality is ok, far from premium blades that cost three times more, it can use some sanding and requires lacquering, or you'll rip off the outer ply when changing rubbers. Considering the price I think it's a hit from Donic!
