Awesome control. Produces a lot of spin. Gentle Carbon feel. Plays almost like all wood. Not 2 fast. Good quality. Handle is great. Looks very nice. Weighs less than most of my blades - 84g. Has just enough feeling for developing players, even with rubbers that tend to mute the feeling of the ball - Ten05FX. Sweetspot is alright. Best blade for a beginner IMO. Lobs are easy, blocks ez, putting ball back on the table is so intuitive to me with this blade, banana the best you will ever do, strawberry even better, cuts go on table nicely. Real joy to play with. If you put very spinny rubber like Ten05-FX it can produce truly comical arc on slow, controlled brushes. I think this blades shines with spin oriented rubbers. Wish it was tiny bit cheaper, so I would buy 2nd one. The only downside is that it doesn't outright destroy the oponent on flat hits or far from table, but to me this blade has no faults and is close to perfection. Only Hurricane Hao 3 comes close and that blade is almost perfect aswell - more offensive, less spin, even better feeling.
Other similiar blades to this I would say is Yasaka Ma Lin Soft Carbon, but it has less feeling and speed, control though the same. I highly recommend this blade. Huge props to Donic for this one and actually listing which wood they've used to make a blade. Probably only company that does that. TY DONIC! That is my first Donic blade and certainly not last.

Ive tried many fast blades like the Carbospeed, Waldner Legend, Timo Boll ALC, and recently the Stiga Wavy... But this Donic blade is the one Ive been looking for all along. The handle is the perfect size for my average-sized hand, and the 85g weight feels perfectly balanced when paired with two 50 hybrid rubbers in 1.9mm. The racket even feels light.
In the short game, its easy it feels like a classic 5-ply all-wood blade: short, controlled, effortless touch shots. The blade is stiff, yet the ball doesnt shoot off uncontrollably unless you really engage the stroke, and topspins are loaded with spin. Its surprisingly easy to lift backspin balls.
I get the feeling this racket offers several well-defined gears: soft, controlled short play; heavy, high-arching topspins or fast, direct loops; and powerful flat hits that blast through spin. Its become my number one blade (in my opinion, even better than the red Zhang Jike), and for the price, its a no-brainer.

I switched from a Butterfly Gergely Alpha blade to this Anders Lind one. Overall, it gives you more confidence in every shot—almost everything lands on the table. It’s excellent for topspin, smashing, and short play. Passive blocks might not be as good as with the Gergely, but with a small adjustment, it’s easy to get used to. It has good control, which even allows for effective chops. I paired it with a Victas V>22 Double Extra 2.0 on the forehand and Omega V Tour 2.1 on the backhand—it was perfect. The Banco Power Ultimate 50 or even the same Omega V Tour mentioned earlier would also work well on the forehand.
The only downside, though it’s more of a personal preference, is the blade’s weight: 89.5g. I would’ve liked a slightly lighter version.
In conclusion, I recommend it for players from beginner to advanced levels.
By the way, the lacquering service was excellent—highly recommended.

It's a good blade, and very good price performance ratio.
Crisper and faster than an innerforce, a bit harder feel.
