Item details

It is a very fast carbon blade with great stiffness and almost impossible to break. Despite the high speed the blade is great fun to play with. For all out attackers with hard top-spins who prefer to counter-attack.

Original Carbospeed
Pros
  • Fast
  • Decent Control
  • Good for powerlooping
Cons
  • Short serves are more difficult
I’m approximately rated USATT 2100 and I play offensive in both sides. I’m good at the spin game and my backhand is way better than my forehand. With my forehand I struggle in open play because of my weak footwork. When I don’t have the time I struggle to bring power into my loops. I rely on my arm too much to generate power.

Until now I have used mostly limba Outer blades. Good for the spin game but not so much for power with inadequate technique. I tried out many rubbers and blades but nothing really helped. Improving my technique did not really help either. I already play for more than 20 years and it’s not easy to change my acquired technique fundamentally.

Luckily for me I no longer need to change stuff. The donic carbospeed fixed it for me. I still have enough control and spin in my game and now I can generate power with my technique. My results in matches against players around my level improved instantly.

2x Xiom Omega IV Asia MAX

An outstanding product.

I purchased this blade last week and i must say im surprized. Tried Stigas and Btys powerhouses such as Clipper, RW5, TBALC,Primorac Carbon, etc...but none assembled so well the Carbospeed characteristcs.

Tons of speed. Lightning fast. Drives and hits are top tier. You can easily place the ball even close to the table.
Loops are quite tricky due medium dwell you must make a quick movement and use wrist otherwise will hit net or overtable.
The throw is linear compared to most blades. There have to be spin in the ball to it produces an arc.
Paired with Xiom Omega IV Asia short game is a piece of cake. Pretty dead rubber if you dont engage sponge but once you do it has monstruous spin and control. Flicks are quite good when movement is quick.
3+ meters from table is easy, top spin rallies are menageable, id say easy but i lack the technique so wont go further.

In short :
Amazing blade. Easy to use.I dont know if i paired to exact holy grail rubber for this blade but despite slow strokes doesnt work that well, i cant think any drawback.
Finishing and Craftmanship top tier. The handle is so beaultiful that i feel bad to have to dirty it. :/
The blade is so well balanced. Even with medium++ weight rubber. 44g i think.
Price. Ohhh the price. Bought for only 60USD.
Not for lazyass strokes. You must go for every shot. Feet, knee, hips, back, shoulder, arm, wrist, blade!
Very controlable short game. Tricky close to the table due linear throw.

This blade provides a great feeling when you play with it. Relly fast in attack and counter-attack, excellent for topspin and loop. I assembled it with Acuda S1 turbo (FH) and Bluefire M2 (BH).
