Hello Everyone,

Has anyone tried these blades and have any inputs for these 2 blades and their comparisons?

Thanks

I second that question, as a user of DOTCI would be interested as well

@Marvinn8686 How do you feel about your current DOTCI ?

@Marvinn8686 How do you feel about your current DOTCI ?

I can only practically compare with other inner carbon blades I used longer time with same or similar rubbers:
Yinhe Pro 05, FL handle, 90g, layers: limba, ayous, carbon, ayous, carbon, ayous, limba
Yinhe Pro 03, FL handle, 90g, layers: koto, ayous, carbon, ayous, carbon, ayous, koto
Donic Original True Carbon Inner, ST handle, 85g, layers: koto, ayous, aramid carbon, kiri, aramid carbon, ayous, koto.

While both Yinhe blades differ in the outer layer, I don't feel much of a difference between them. Maybe I feel, but I am not sure double-blind study would confirm that. Nonetheless I like them.
DOTCI feels even better for me. It appears to be faster, but still fine enough control. My forehand topspin works better, maybe it just better suits my amateur technique. For backand I don feel that difference. I also like that it is a little lighter, 85g seems just optimal for me with heavy chinese rubbers. I feel better maneuverability with this blade. I guess weight difference comes from kiri core being lighter than ayous.

It looks for me like a really nice blade considering the price. I got mine second-hand for reasonable prices and it was difficult to see any wear on it.

Thanks @Marvinn8686 for the detailed information for Donic setup. I am inclined towards it but since the price range of Hexa Carbon is similar so thought to pick the brain of community.

Any inputs or feedbacks?

Seems like not enough player have played with either of the blades especially the "Donic Anders Lind Hexa Carbon"

I tried Anders Lind Hexa Carbon blade briefly. It is very controllable and speed is based on your own strength. The blade isn't a spring board for the ball.
