Greetings- well,caught the EJ virus (again) and bought one. 85 gm, GoldArc 9 (38*) and Domination Speed 2 (which
feels about 45* ESN hardness). Have had 2 sessions with it so far.This is a very nice blade, but not really
innovative despite the fact it has a "new" and different composite fibre. It is a high perfomance,modern
blade aimed at the experienced offensive player, and it fulfills it's intended function very well, but does not
stand out amongst it's peers. My impression/rating of it's hardness/stiffness would be 6/10, so the feeling
is slightly hard with some (but not much) flex.It is fairly direct without feeling harsh, and the sensation of
ball on blade comes through clearly. Blade is solid and stable so blocking is easy.Loops and topspins well, but I wouldn't
consider this a dedicated looping blade,more of an offensive blade for all strokes.
So, although I was impressed by the Donic New Era and it has my recommendation,it is just another
very good blade in a market crowded with very good blades.

Donic Zhang Jike New Era
by Donic
The Donic Zhang Jike New Era blade offers the perfect balance between speed and control, excellent ball feedback creates a great feel. Recommended for the modern allround and offensive players who value a good balance between speed and control in both offensive and passive play.
Zhang Jike recommends this new blade to all dedicated players who are offensively oriented but desire even better ball control. The Chinese superstar runs a table tennis school in his home country and knows from experience that very fast blades are not the best choice for all players. This is how the Donic Zhang Jike New Era was born.
The core is made of Kiri wood and two layers of Ayous. But then comes a special feature: not the usual two, but three finely interwoven synthetic fibers give the Donic Zhang Jike New Era an even finer feel for the ball.
