      I used the Original No. 1, 83g, for about six months.
      I put on Kage and Jekyll High H, and V20 DE for rubbers.
      The concept behind this blade is basically a Donic version of the Long 5.
      True to that concept, it's quite similar to the Long 5, achieving that seemingly contradictory feel of gripping the ball and lifting it up while still getting good distance, and I think it reproduces that at a high level.
      The grip shape is similar too, finished quite thin just like the Long 5.
      Also, Donic doesn't list an official size, and there seems to be some variation between individual blades, so I'd recommend picking one you like in person.

      This is a blade that emphasizes gripping the ball.
      Speed isn't a huge strength, but it puts solid spin on the ball, so the end result is a powerful, heavy shot.
      It doesn't fly too far, so you can play the short game with confidence. Overall I think it's a blade with no real weak points.

      The grip looks just like the DHS blade it's apparently modeled after, which isn't really my taste, but since it's slim it gives you a lot of freedom.
      It's expensive, but I don't think you'll regret buying it for the performance.
