Donic Waldner Legend Carbon

Really nice blade from Donic's 2012 range. Soft core, carbon, quite thick outer plies of hinoki. Wood and build quality is incredible for the price, and easily matches Butterfly blades despite being 1/3 of the price of some of them. Not as fast as Donic advertise, IMO. A really dependable blade, very linear, but has a slight flex at the very top end to add a bit to massive swings far from the table. Short game control is excellent, looping excellent, blocking good, hitting good. No real negatives for me, so as long as you like hinoki-topped blades then you will have no complaints.

Great blade for aggressive players. Even with harder rubbers such as Donic's Acuda Blue P1 Turbo, I can slow loop, push the ball short, block with a lot of pace and also finish the point with amazing speed. Requires good technique tho, still strugling a bit sometimes. Lightweight. EDIT: Once you get the hang of it, the ball goes wherever you want it to go, superb control for such a fast blade!

I have used this blade and I feel it is very far from what was expected whre the taste is different, not as informed. I also don't know why they have good reviews on this blade? To be honest, Donic's products that I really really like out of the many blades they produce are Donic Waldner World Champinon 89 and Donic Li ping Kitex

A very light and fast blade with good control. Forehand and Backhand Fast, strong and with a lot of effect. I use an MX-P on the Backhand and a Donic Barracuda on the Forehand and I think the blade and these rubbers get along really well. I could trade an MX-P for a Rakza 7 or Rakza 7 Soft, and a Barracuda for an Andro Rasanter
