27/01/2023 Its consistent but the throw is a little too high Review by Arunava Chakraborty

Quality

It is a very consistent blade. I have used it with coppa gold and platin. It plays well but the throw of the ball is too high for my liking.

27/01/2020 Light blade with good control & nice speed Review by Benjamin MORIN MULLER

Quality

The DONIC WORLD CHAMPION 89 Appelgren is a light blade for all-around players.
I have used it for a month. I can tell you that it's a reactive blade when you put the required power and still has good control. Though it is a fast carbon blade, of course not as much as the Waldner WC 89 or some others OFF carbon blades.
The fact it is light ease the recovery and facilitate the "small game".
The blade makes a particular noise at impact when you start to put some power which I find quite interesting in order to adjust your shots accordingly.
Good ALL / ALL+ blade.

06/01/2020 Controlled but loses a lot of spin Review by Artan Kroi

Quality

I have played with many blades. Allround minus to offensive ++ . This one is very controlled but loses a lot of spin in the process. Even compared to far slower blades. Don't know why. It perplexes everybody. Shots that look like full of spin are many times 20 percent of the expected spin. Good thing is ,it confuses my opponents. Win-lose I guess?

10/08/2018 Best control All-round I’ve ever seen Review by burak acar

Quality

I play with many All and All+ blades and this one is awesome. Really good control, excellent feel for a carbon blade. As All+ blade nice speed. For pips users for BH like me. I recommend it.

Quality

Very good control, attack & modern defense.

23/06/2017 Mixed Review Review by Jamie Matthews

Quality

I have mixed feelings about this blade. Playing characteristics are great. Good control, large sweet spot, maybe not as "All+" as I thought it might be. More in the OFF- to OFF range. What really disappoints me though are the lenses in the handle. The "appelgren" lens on the forehand is countersunk quite a bit and is actually pretty uncomfortable. And the "made in Germany" lens on the backhand side keeps falling out. I've glued it back 2 times already using different glues. It's a sticker - pretty cheap feeling. And when it actually is attached, it also protrudes enough that it too gets a little irritable on the palm of the hand. It's a shame really. If the handle was crafted a little better, it'd be a great blade. For the price point - doesn't scream quality.

01/04/2017 Very good choice for a carbon All+ blade Review by Levent

Quality

Very light. Very good control. There is some small vibration, which is good for feeling. It is a very good choice for someone who is lookin for a carbon blade but in all+ class.

23/12/2016 Disappointed Review by Guo Lu

Quality

I bought this blade because of the reviews and the fancy description of donic; however, i am very disappointed on its performance. It has a vibration which carbon blades not supposed to have. Forehand looping is bad, and it is the worst or almost the worst carbon blade I ever have.

16/12/2016 Super control Review by Johan Svedberg

Quality

As being a beginner at table tennis again after a 30 year hiatus I was looking for a blade with the best of control and decent speed. Also I wanted something in composite material. I found it all in this Donic Appelgren World Champion '89 All+. Right from the get go I felt totally comfortable with the blade and it has really helped me to develop my stroking. For beginners I can't think of a better blade, this one can do everything and the ball will always reach the destination you want it to go. For more advanced players it can be a good choice if paired with really fast rubbers. High quality product!

23/06/2016 Fantastic blade for my blocking/counter hitting game. Review by Viv

Quality

I previously used an all-round blade and was looking for something a bit faster, yet still maintaining good control. The Donic World Champion 89 Appelgren all+ already had very good reviews and was available at a very competitive price from tabletennis11, therefore an obvious choice for me. I much prefer the lighter weight of this blade over my old one. It also feels very well balanced and has been an instant success in my league matches. I'm mainly a blocking/counter hitting player and find this blade, combined with ANDRO Rasant Beat rubber on both sides, has improved my game considerably. I'm much more consistent against strong looping players and can achieve very good control of the angles around the table with my blocking.

板子漂亮，不过背面的德国国旗容易掉，有点粘不住

27/04/2015 Very nice control blade Review by Omer Erdogan

Quality

Speed ok, but control is great with the right rubber. Rakza 7 is ideal for me... But you may need a faster one for forehand to finish the point..
