External Review for Donic Zhang Jike New Era on August 12, 2025

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.
