Blades
Table tennis blades — the wooden frame a racket is built on. A blade is bought once and kept, and the rubbers glued to it are replaced as they wear, so this is the part of a setup worth taking time over.
Construction is the first decision. An all-wood blade flexes more, gives the clearest feedback and is the usual recommendation while a stroke is still being learned. A composite blade carries a fibre layer that stiffens the frame and adds speed at the cost of some feel — carbon is the most common of those, with arylate-carbon, ZLC, aramid and fibreglass each trading stiffness against touch differently.
Then match the blade to how you actually play. Offensive blades are built to throw the ball back hard and suit a game played away from the table; allround blades give up some speed for control and are the easier place to develop a stroke. Where a blade sits on that scale matters more than its price does. Our blade selection guide places every blade we carry on that scale, brand by brand.
Weight and stiffness are the fine adjustment. Lighter blades are quicker to move into position and more forgiving over a long session; heavier ones carry more through the ball. A stiff blade returns energy directly, a flexible one lets the ball sit on the wood a fraction longer, which is what players mean by dwell.
Handle shape is a variant, not a different blade — flared (FL) widens toward the base and is the common choice, straight (ST) is even along its length and suits players who change grip, anatomic (AN) is contoured to the palm. Pick by what is comfortable in your hand, and remember a blade needs two rubbers to become a racket.

One of the classics: the classic allround blade, and the best-selling DONIC blade. Its excellent feel and optimum ball control are just like Mikael Appelgren, who became a three-time European Champion in men’s singles and World Champion in men’s teams using this blade.
It is for allround players that value reliability. Excellent control, lightweight, great feel with good speed reserves.
Technology of the series: 5 veneers made of abachi (core veneer), limba (2+4) and limba (outer veneer).
Available in normal, Senso V1 and V2 (hollow spaces in the handle) versions, as well as a Junior version (narrower, concave handle, smaller blade face).
Nine plies, two of them made of synthetic fibre, in an allround table tennis blade: that is an absolute novelty. How much the modern materials differ from those of previous generations is shown by the core of the DONIC CLASSIC ALLROUND. The Aratox fibre used is more of an adhesive layer than a veneer in the conventional sense and cannot be compared to the classic carbon inlays of the past.
The use of well-proven woods such as Limba and Koto, combined with the harmonious position of all materials, brings a result that grants the best control, a lot of feeling and also the necessary speed.
Technology: 9 layers of aratox (core), awan (4+6), limba (3+7), soft carbon (2+8) and koto (1+9)
Character: Medium hard, controlled, sensitive
Recommendation: For allround and offensive table tennis players who want to place precisely and attack safely with their racket.
Straight, concave, anatomic
The new DONIC CLASSIC POWER ALLROUND is a table tennis blade whose playing characteristics live up to its name. Its classic veneer structure, with two layers made of ayous, is supplemented by a new type of textile fibre (flax cloth BF3). It offers the necessary power to attack forcefully, but also enough control to operate flawlessly in longer rallies.
The outer veneers made of the of soft wood – Spruce, ensure that you will get sensitive feedback when hitting the ball, despite the harder inner veneers.Technology: 7 layers of ayous (core), flax cloth BF3 (2+6), ayous (3+5), spruce (1+7)Character: Fast, medium hard, sensitiveRecommendation: Table tennis blade for offensive players who want to attack in a controlled manner.Straight, concave, anatomic
DONIC DEFPLAY INNER CARBON
A REAL INNOVATION
The DONIC DEFPLAY INNER CARBON is an innovative defensive blade that features a synthetic inner carbon layer. Similar to the WHIPER INNER CARBON, it has two layers of Hyramid Carbon surrounding the inner Kiri wooden veneer. However, there are two key differences that set the DEFPLAY INNER CARBON apart. Firstly, its inner veneer is 0.4 mm thinner, and secondly, its blade size is slightly larger, resulting in an enlarged sweetspot. These factors contribute to a lower vibration amplitude and significantly improved control. Additionally, the Hyramid Carbon provides the necessary striking power for modern defensive players' attacks.
WHIPER + DEFPLAY INNER·OUTER·CARBON
The latest DONIC innovation introduces fresh possibilities for various playing styles with its special synthetic fibre. While all three models are constructed using the same type of wood and feature two layers of Hyramid Carbon, they each possess distinct playing characteristics. This is because the placement of the synthetic fibre layers directly beneath the outer veneer significantly enhances the speed of the blade. The size of the blade and the thickness of the inner veneer also contribute to the performance of the new DONIC DEFPLAY INNER CARBON defensive blade, making it a valuable addition for defensive players who are frequently overlooked.
Technology: 7 layers of Kiri (inner), Ayous (2+6), Hyramid Carbon (3+5), Limba (1+7, outer).
Character: Outstanding control, sensitive, discreetly dynamic
Recommendation: For modern defensive players who want to surprise with attacking strokes.
Characteristics: DEF +, ALL+
Elasticity: elastic
Speed: controlled
Control: high
Veneer structure: Veneers with synthetic fiber
Layers: 5+2
DONIC NEW IMPULS TECHNOLOGY: for over 30 years DONIC has continually been an innovator, and one of those innovations is the soft gluing process used for the veneers in the IMPULS blades. Individual plies are glued together with a latex/epoxy adhesive film, which gives the Impuls blades their very unique, iconic damping and playing characteristics.
Phenomenal ball acceleration, unmatched control, edge protection as a standard feature and a high level of breaking strength are just some of the benefits of Impuls technology. Three different models provide an option for players of all levels, so this series is sure to have the ideal blade for you.
This one is for allround players looking for that special playing feel. Great feel, lightweight and excellent control.
