All-Wood Blades

For extra feel for the ball – sometimes less is more: in the DICON construction, parts of the handles have been removed using a milling tool. The player gets a more direct feel from the blade as a result, and a better feel for its power and speed. Power is also transmitted more directly between the player and the ball, which provides a greater level of control.

It is for offensive players looking for a direct playing feel and clear ball feedback. Fast and hard, very direct, lightweight and good control.

Technology: 5 plies made of abachi (core ply), pine (2+4) and limba (1+5, outer ply).

Just as the original edition, the shape of the blade is slightly different to the usual DONIC blade shape, more slender and oval. This blade completely presents Jan-Ove`s unique and distinctive style. Waldner Offensive 2016: The legend lives on.

A classic 5-ply allwood blade with a soft limba top layer, the BASEline Allround uses a trusted composition for players looking for exceptional control and increased contact time. At 83 grams it is on the lighter side, while its increased thickness of 6.5mm improves stability and adds power for offensive play. It is particularly suitable for beginners and young developing players.

A step up in the series, the BASEline Offensive moves to a more offensive allwood composition. It keeps the great feeling and the stable, 6.5mm thick composition, and adds a stiffer and more powerful Koto wood top layer, which increases the overall hardness of the blade and gives players a more reactive surface for explosive contact and direct power.

At a lightweight 83 grams, the blade suits attacking focused beginners and developing players who are looking for a touch more offensive capability in their equipment.
