Customer review for Donic Waldner Black Devil Carbon Balsa

External Review for Donic Waldner Black Devil Carbon Balsa on June 9, 2010

This blade stands out in many aspects: it is very light, very fast. Comparing to other carbon blades it has no that annoying vibration. The kraftmanship is perfect. The controll might be better but it is alway a balance between weight/speed/controll. Since the dwelling time is close to zero the blade leaves very little information for player about the ball. In order to compensate this it is prefferably to use soft or extra soft rubbers on this blade, which will add more controll and consistency. I have tried first this blade with Donic Platinum on FH and Platinum Soft on BH (my usual setup) and I felt that I can toss satelites in the sky. The bat was just too speedy and I think that there are very few players out there who would feel comfortable with such setup. Then I chenged the rubbers to Stiga's TS i max and it was just right. The speed was almost the same but I could control every strike and loop I made. Besides, this setup is extremely light which adds more freedom for movements and more power in attack. I was alwaus sceptical to all carbon and artifficial substances in blades but this one has changed my opinion. An amazing blade! Once you have played it with right rubbers you will be willing to play it againg and againg even if your main setup is slower or different in other ways!
