This is the quickest model in the new blade series.
In its construction it is similar to the Waldner Legend Carbon, but differs slightly because of its somewhat thicker inner ply in combination with a high class Hinoki outer play.
It is a very fast carbon blade with great stiffness and almost impossible to break. Despite the high speed the blade is great fun to play with.
For all out attackers with hard top-spins who prefer to counter-attack.

chameleon (Experience: ２〜３ years) Too fast

It's fast, but the control isn't great!
It has a solid feel, so I think it works really well paired with a powerful rubber.
My friend Shio-chan also said the ball feels heavy. Using this racket, my takeaway is: avoid overly bouncy rubbers. When you smash, there's a chance the ball won't even land on your opponent's side of the table.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

I used this for both regular hardball and large-ball play.
For regular play, with max-thickness tension rubber on both sides at 92g, it felt really heavy, but personally the bounce felt more subdued than I expected.
For large ball, it really grips the ball and had a very easy-to-hit feel.
If it bounced just a bit more and the blade itself were lighter, it would be a really wonderful racket~
The grip design looks cool.
The blade is a bit on the large side, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who dislikes heavy rackets.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

Fast! Just plain fast! I did feel the spin on drives was a little on the low side.

When I decided to switch to a defensive style, I only changed my rubber and forgot to buy a new blade, which left me pretty down.
Once I actually used it, lobs from far off the table go in easily, and smashing on the backhand is easy too. You have to hold back a little or the ball flies long, but you can attack really fast.
Pushes also go in deep and to the middle, and depending on the opponent, that can be quite effective.

It bounces well and generates good speed — both are great.
But because it's so fast, spin and control are a bit tricky.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch

Wow, this really has a lot of bounce.
The people I usually practice with tell me my drives have gotten faster and heavier, to the point they can't block them anymore.
That said, I do feel like the curve on my sidespin drives has gotten a little shallower than before, but that's a fair trade-off. This racket is worth it and then some.

I bought it because I was drawn in by the "Donic's fastest" label (lol).
Mine happened to be lighter than I expected at 84 grams, so I can really swing it fast.
It has a hard feel and the ball flies straight, so it's perfect for someone like me who hits fast, relatively flat drives. I used to use a Butterfly ZLC racket, but my shots always ended up on a high arcing trajectory and went long — with this one I can really punch through cleanly.
