The artificial Aramid-Carbon fibre in combination with high quality wood plies ensure a precise ball return and outstanding offensive quality to the blade. In addition to being very fast, the Baum Esprit ensures maximum ball control in every playing situation. It is particularly suited for counter top-spinning and for touch play. This blade is ideal for attackers who value spin but require sufficient speed from their strokes.

DONIC Baum esprit I have in my hands has an approximate weight of 87 g does not feel as heavy and most of the weight is in the head but does not feel very different from the weight of the handle , has a bit average finish very thin fibers are aramid-carbon out of the wood and the wood finish on the handle is very rough, fl handle is very comfortable and feels great, the probe with DONIC bluefire m2 in FH and Joola Xplode to BH, has a feeling stiff much more than the power in July and was very similar to andro Super Core Carbon light off + but a bit more solid, control was nothing bad had a good time retention of the ball, the speed is similar to Butterfly Timo Boll Spirit but a little slower and not so easily to the topspin, but took a heavy spin on the ball. I think the strength of this wood is in blocking block was very confident and could leave the ball wherever I wanted, away from the table was not bad was good curve ball and a speed luxury. overall I liked the sheet if somewhat Desepcionante finish quality of the leaf. engeneral people recommend this wood for your game is based on active locks and close to the table game speed, and away from the table plays very well with them eh rubbers already named, I think it would be an excellent wood with tenergy rubbers 05. respect to the layers having 7 layers and I think the core is in kiri. the outer layers are extremely deslgadas continues aramyd charcoal layer that has the same appearance Arylate-carbon, then follows a layer a bit thicker than the outer layer and the core width really think it is more than 60% of total thickness of the sheet that is 6 mm

When i first used this blade, I did not like it. The blade was not as powerful as I hoped. The sounds made upon ball contact was just as if the blade was shattering inside. However, after some time, I started to appreciate this blade better. For a carbon blade, it sure has nice control and feeling. Overall, it is a solid blade. I am currently pairing it with a unboosted commercial Hurricane 3, and the looping is consistent as heck. I quite enjoy the feeling i get from the blade. I still think it lacks power and speed, as compared to an ALC such as Yinhe V-14 pro. I would say this blade is not ideal unless you are intro control and spin.

This is very good blade specially for looping it is slightly slower to that of the viscaria, the precision is better during flicks and Backhand, to get the best of this blade, and get a similar feel like that of the viscaria use the traditional DHS Skyline 3 boosted on the Fh and Rakza Z hard on the BH, serves go real deep and the defense mechanism of this blade is very good, this blade is similar to the Xiom Stradivarius , the donic baum has a softer touch whereas the stradivarius has a stiffer touch, overall its a very good blade which will not disappoint you

Good offensive blade when put fast rubber on the forehand. But you may need a rubber with softer sponge to control with backhand side. This blade is not recommended for beginner. Because it may be too fast for them. But if you are an intermediate offensive player, this blade can be used as the step stone before you moving to a faster blade

I play the donic baum esprit with baracuda on both sides in maximum thickness. The blade is well manufactured and looks very nice. The blade is a little bit slower and softer than spirit because the 3. + 5. layer is abachi instead of limba (in spirit). The blade has a very big head (160mm x 152mm). My racket is head heavy, but i need this, becuase i have a little longer movement with the forehand so the headheavyness helps me to accelerate better.
