Review of Donic Burn Aratox** 5/25/15 Update **I have since switched rubbers and found my great combination: Andro REVOfire - 2.1 blk-FH Andro Impuls powerspongs 2.0 red - BH Loops fantastic, blocks great, and easily flicks. Everything I wanted in a Bat. Now to find some extra blades and stock up. With above setup, it's OFF to OFF- ** originall review below ** This is a nice semi-flexy AR blade. Because Donic has three similar (Burn) models that look similar, I think this confuses the consumer as to what they're buying. It did me as I wanted the AR version (not OF). This blade is softer and flexible. A nice AR blade. The sweet spot is large, and the only minor point is it doesn't impart much spin (remember, there are rubbers attached. we can blame them!) It's head heavy (my ST blade weighed 86g) and it has good power at the mid-table distance. It's not a powerhouse as I play an AllRound game. Build quality is good, some glue oozing out this sides (easily fixed with light sanding). My ST blade weighed 89g. Tested with Palio CJ8000 2-Side (FH) and 729 Trans. Cream (BH). Better control as I can place the ball well. I like playing with this blade. The ST handle has an oval shape, is comfortable in my large hands (see my Joola Medium Falcon review if you have large hands). Some dimensions below: Donic Burn Aratox (ST) L= 102mm W= 30.25mm CS= 29.75mm head 151mm x 156.5mm I'm suprised nobody has reviewed this blade? May 24, 2015 | |||||||||||||||

JOOLA Falcon Medium

Review of JOOLA Falcon MediumI'm suprised nobody has reviewed this blade?I like this blade as I have good contol with it and it balances good in my hand. It's not a powerhouse as I play an AllRound game. build quality (2014) is good and could be finished better (easily fixed with light sanding). There is some flexibility in this blade, I bought the FL handle for my son and ST for myself. The FL handle has more flexibility and may be due to the narrowing of the grip (FL handles have a curvature). Tested with Focus III Snipe (FH) and 729 Faster with German sponge, it imparts spin easily. Good control. It fills-up my large hand when I wrap my fingers around the handle. I have been sarching for a handle like this and now have found it! My ST blade weighed 82g. Having large hands and wanting an ST blade that I could comfortably grip, I compared the Medium Falcon against: Donic Burn Aratox. and, Stiga Allround Classic. All with ST handles. The dimensions are below: Joola Medium Eagle (ST): L= 100mm W= 31mm (this is wide!) CS= 31.25mm (a square-ish handle) Donic Burn Aratox (ST) L= 102mm W= 30.25mm CS= 29.75mm Stiga AllRound Classic (ST) L= 101mm W= 28.50mm CS= 28.75mm The Joola Medium Falcon just feels right in my hands with it's square-ish handle. It's medium-light (82g) with good control and moderate speed (mid-distance from table). What's not to like? Feb 14, 2014 | |||||||||||||

KTL (LKT) Instinct

Review of KTL (LKT) InstinctAs others have written, this is a good beginner/starter blade. The control is good. I found the flared handle too thin for my hands.Recommend the beginner start with a thin sponge (~ 1.5 - 1.8) and the 729 General rubbers are an excellent combination (this is one example). If using a max sponge, you can obtain good speed. Meaning you can continue to use this blade as an intermediate player. Feb 14, 2014 | |||||||||||||
