Customer review for Donic Skachkov Carbon

External Review for Donic Skachkov Carbon on April 9, 2025

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!
