Description
The Donic Zhang Jike Original Carbon blade is dynamic, powerful, has sensitive touch at impact and excellent feedback. Recommended for dynamic offensive players who play with powerful shots but expect good control.
This offensive blade corresponds to the veneer combination Zhang Jike used during his active career. The Chinese World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist worked closely with the Donic development department, which precisely implemented his specifications: an inner veneer of extremely light Kiri wood, covered by Ayous veneers and two layers of cured aramid carbon. The outer veneer consists of two layers of hard African Koto wood.
Zhang Jike was not only incredibly ambitious as a player, honing his technique to perfection; he is now doing the same in material development. Under his direction, a dynamic offensive blade has been created that represents a powerful weapon for ambitious players. A blade like the one with which Zhang Jike has won everything there is to win in the world of table tennis.
CL –
Quite fast blade from Donic (but a lot less speed than a Synteliac ZCO for instance wich would be 10 in speed for me). At first it’s a little stiff but after some practice you get used to it. The feeling is great for 1st attacks, especially in backhand even if the sweetspot is much less large compared to other blades. You still have control in the serve & receive part of the game. Amazing blade overall, worth every penny in my opinion (150€ in France) and a great alternative to carbon Butterfly blades. Paired with Thibar Hybrid K3 2.0mm on both sides.
