Donic Ovtcharov Feat

Review of Donic Ovtcharov FeatIve tried many blades before this one......Ultra Senso Carbon......Nexy Calix 2.......Senso Carbon(pen).......Palio Cat.......Yinhe T11. Why did i try the Feat? My shakehand grip requires me to change my grip on my backhand which forces me to use a lighter setup or im not able to do it fast enough during counters. This is the first ALL wood blade ive ever played with....I guess when i started playing I assumed everyone uses carbon. What i like about this blade.....the weight works for my transition from backhand to forehand and the return of serve. There a player in my club with a short topspin/underspin serve and with the carbon blades i couldnt return the serve when i wasnt sure which it was. With this blade the ball doesnt spring off it making it much easier to keep those serves on the table even when you guess the spin wrong......also keep serve returns extra short. Ive tried slower rubbers on carbon or chinese rubbers but nothing did this better than this blade using a Focus Snipe 3 rubber. im a close to table player and i finally gave up using carbon for this. Donic says this blade is a Off but its slower than all those blades mentioned above....Decent sweet spot....the edges play of the blade dont bottom out. What i liked most was serves.....aggressive serves land more with wood than carbon.....serve returns much easier than using carbon....if you touch push every serve back....even topspin it wouldnt give the other guy a big pop up....too slow to pop up long.....and if its backspin youll get an awesome short touch push close to the net. Over the table play is what this blade is great at and its blocks are perfect.......where faster blades require perfect blade angles to be returned this thing is impossible to block long with but fast enough to always go back over the net. weaknesses are passive play behind the table balls may not get returned back over the net. You must swing hard with this blade it wont do the work for you.Dec 05, 2016 | |||||||||||||

Review of Dr. Neubauer Barricade DEFIm a close to the table blocker. A tactical player who uses SP on FH and inverted on backhand. Sometimes i switch them for serve variation or 3rd ball attacking underspin. THIS IS THE BEST BLADE IVE EVER OWNED. It solves every problem ive ever had......First off its oversized so i cut off extra head size to make it a normal size and then i sanded it. I always struggled with any setup over 140 grams (which for most people is already light). I use a 2 finger shakehand grip and have to adjust when i switch to backhand. With this blade and Desto F3 with spectol i have made a blade thats 117 grams....a perfect speed for close to table blocking and countering. Blade isnt very flexy but with soft rubbers my backhand flicks always land. There not as dynamic as with a blade like Walder Senso but they land.....ANY close to table Blocker should be using this blade.....its still more than fast enough and the reduction in weight will make your transition from FH to BH twice as fast. Cork handle is awesome....very light....and after using Waldner Senso....Nexy CAlix 2....Yinhe t 11....Palio Cat.....Waldner Ultra....Donic Feat nothing compared to this for lightness and control. and Yes you can hit off the table with it too..........in a sport where there arent enough blades in the 50 gram weight class this blade is KINg!Apr 01, 2017 | |||||||||||||
