Pros
  • Good control
Cons
  • Slow
The Donic Waldner Senso Carbon is a very good allround blade. It is classed as OFF- but I would surely put it as ALL+, if not ALL, maybe because I am used to using fast blades. If you want to get good speed and make it feel like an offensive blade, pair it with tenergy or Donic bluefre rubbers. For more control, you can use slower rubbers like the Donic Baracuda or the Butterfly Rozena. Very good blade for allround players, but I am a very offensive player so I think it needed more speed, and felt like it wasn't good enough.

Pros
  • Weight
  • Control
Cons
  • Breaks if hit by
  • Something hard
  • Bad for doubles
This blade is plenty spinny and feels really good. If I relax, my banana flicks and forehand loops feel easy to do and effortless. Unfortunately I was so relaxed and paid complete attention to the game that I didn't notice my partner suddenly lost the ability to get out of the way. So my blade hit him in the stomach and the racket head flew away. It was really surreal. I never expected to break my first paddle against an actual person. My past paddles have experienced much worse impacts, so this was quite the shock to me. Anyway, get it if you like light weight, feeling, and control and ONLY if you plan to use it for singles.

  • Handle
This blade is very reliable and can be used by a variety of abilities from beginner to more experienced players. I'd say the best feature of this blade is the control it brings to the player. I find serving and touch game is particularly good when using the Senso Carbon. The biggest disadvantage, especially for myself, is the handle. I find this a touch too bulky and can make play, over a prolonged period, become slightly uncomfortable. Apart from this slight negative, the blade is very good and I would recommend!
