Donic Waldner Senso Carbon V1

I don't normally do reviews, but......I have been trying different blades to get that combination of speed, power and feel. This has it, it's a fantastic blade. It's a bit slower than my other blades, but the control is amazing. At first I didn't like how top heavy it was due to the hollow handle, I may end up filling it, but I have to admit, as i'm getting used to it, and after 3 or 4 sessions, I hardly notice it any more. I'll wait and see how it goes. The blade gives a fairly high throw, and while it feels harder than an all wood blade due to the carbon layers so you get great power when you want it, you get the control of an all wood blade, so it's great for the short game, and you can loop the ball wherever you want to. I have a lot more accuracy blocking and it's a lot easier to balloon balls back on the table if you're ever forced to defend. Seems to have a big sweetspot too, so you still get a solid feel even if you hit near the edge of the blade. My game has improved 10% just by using this blade, and I love the loud crack you get when you hit with it. I got the straight handle and it fits great. Highly recommended, amazing control, and it's a great value if you compare the price with most other carbon blades.

I bought this blade and combined it with 2.0 Sriver FX and 2.0 Coppa. It feels great! I don't know exactly what it is about this blade, maybe because the handle is hollowed out a bit, but I am really enjoying it. I used to play with a little lighter paddle before, so keep in mind that it might feel a bit heavy with thicker rubbers, unless you are used to heavy paddles already. I am very happy with this purchase. And Paddle Pallace did an incredible job putting the blade and rubbers together!

This is an amazing blade.... the sweet spot is huge and has great sensitivity. I have been using this same blade for about 7-8 years now! I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an off blade but still wants complete control of the ball.

Wow ,all i can say this is excellent blade and my search is over I have try many blades like spirit,viscaria,clipper wood and they all very good but waldner senso is diffrent you can feel the ball like with no other blade its very good for looping its easy to lift the ball The only think I dont recomended is putting hevy rubbers on it because makes this paddle had heavy unless sombody like it that way.I have calibra lt sound on fh and baracuda on bh and i love it Best wishes to all tt players.

I bought this blade based on the previous review. I use T05 on the forehand and Yasaka Mark V on the backhand. I would say this blade can do everything. It creates unbelievable spin, it is very easy to lift the ball and loop when a heavy underspin is coming. The control is amazing, Im able to control T05 like im playing with Sriver FX. The serves are very spiny and pushing is just a pleasure. Smash strokes are also good. I have also Timo Boll ALC, Schlager carbon, Amultart and would say this blade combines all their strenghts without having any weaknesses. Will never switch to another blade.

Moving to this from a much heavier blade, it seemed much lighter so had to put more effort out than usual. Probably should have gotten 2.0 sponge. Overall happy with it but will get heavier blade next time.

Love the sound and the power of this blade, the hollow handle gives a great sound on the forehand, and the power and sweetspot are huge. My game improved immediately!
