Customer review for Donic Original True Carbon Inner

External Review for Donic Original True Carbon Inner on July 21, 2023

Had a robot testing session with this blade. I had DHS H3 Neo Boosted on FH and Tenergy 05 on BH. My blade comes in at 88g before the rubbers. But the total weight is about 193g. I also used Donic Waldner Senso Carbon (WSC) with the same rubber setup for comparison. The blade may be modeled the BTY Viscaria except the placement of carbon layer and type. The blade profile is similar. The handle length and shape is the same as Viscaria. Comparing to WSC, it is faster and more bouncier. On FH drive, the shot is crisp in full force shots. But in slow to medium shots, the feel is a bit mushy due to the boosted H3. But the balls definitely land well on the other end without too much issue. The throw is slightly lower than WSC. The control is very good. On BH drive, the speed is very good. Due to the slightly lower throw, punch block is easier to execute with power. Passive block is a dream. It should be OFF instead. FH and BH loop are also easy to execute. Any shots close or medium distances are well paced. Since I dont have a large garage, I cant test the long distance shots. WSC is weak in long distance shots. On pushes, it is easy to execute aggressive pushes and short control pushes. So nothing too special here. It is similar to WSC. On serves, the blade has enough flex to generate good spin. What this blade really shines is the loop drive back spin. Just hit its sweet spot and the ball just land with speed. Whether cross court or down the line, loop drive is a breeze. Blocking is also very easy with this. So overall, I want to test it with different rubber to find the right mix. T05 on BH is very good. H3 Neo on FH does require some effort to play with pace. It is faster than WSC and throw lower than WSC, had good wood feel on slow shots and carbon feel on hard shots. Update: Razka Z is the perfect FH rubber for this guy.
