Review of Donic Waldner Dotec HinokiA very good blade for almost any offensive style. It has very good touch, but also has the speed and flex for good pace and spin from any distance. The ergonomically designed handle felt comfortable in my hand straight away, although i noticed the bulge where it sits in your palm did subtly change the way i would normally fold my wrist while looping on the backhand, but it didn't take long to get used to and if anything actually improved my shot. I use fairly tacky Chinese rubbers, and so typically play quite close to the table; this blade hasn't compromised that at all, but it has made me far more dangerous from the deep. The blade is light, vibrates enough to give good feedback, but not enough to distract and has a large and powerful sweet-spot. It is exceptionally well put together and of very high quality, but the downside to this is of course the price. I was lucky enough to receive this as a gift, but for that amount of money it's almost inevitable that you could find something cheaper, which would behave at least similarly. But, as a now officially cured EJ (at least as far as blades go), if you have the money - or a wealthy sugar-mommy - and know what to expect from Donic's unique Dotec handles, then this is an absolutely brilliant weapon to own.
