Burn OFF
Donic Burn OFF is a high-performance offensive blade designed for players who demand speed without sacrificing control. Its signature Thermic Burned Technology heat-treats the wood veneers at 200°C for 24 hours, hardening the material and removing moisture to create exceptional stability and a large sweet spot. This 5-ply all-wood construction uses Mahogany, Awan, and Kiri plies, with a thinner Kiri core than its faster sibling for enhanced feel and spin potential. The blade delivers a stiff yet flexible response with a satisfying click on impact, making it an excellent choice for controlled offensive play and modern, variable attackers.
A symmetrical 5-ply all-wood construction with Mahogany outer plies for speed, Awan mid-plies, and a Kiri core veneer. The core is thinner in the Burn OFF- variant compared to the Burn OFF, enhancing feel and spin potential. All veneers undergo Thermic Burned Technology heat treatment for increased stability and a larger sweet spot.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Donic Burn OFF delivers very fast performance in the OFF to OFF+ category. The thermic treatment and hardwood Mahogany outer plies contribute significantly to its speed, though it retains a woody feel and isn't as stiff as some carbon blades, allowing for controlled offensive play.
Despite its high speed, Donic Burn OFF offers surprisingly good control, particularly in short game and active blocking situations. The thinner core veneer and thermic treatment create sensitive feedback that aids control, though some players notice slightly reduced control in very short-range exchanges. Many players find pairing it with softer or medium-hard rubbers helps maximize control.
Donic Burn OFF delivers a stiff feel with an excellent click on center-hitting shots while retaining a woody character unlike all-carbon blades. The thermic treatment creates a solid, direct feel, though some players find it less sensitive in the short game compared to blades with more pronounced feedback for touch shots.
This blade produces a medium-high throw angle that supports powerful topspin shots and aggressive loops. The trajectory provides good net clearance and attacking pressure.
This blade offers medium-to-long dwell time, especially when paired with softer rubbers. The extended contact allows for greater spin generation on powerful strokes and aids control during active blocking and counter-looping.
The blade plays stiff due to the thermic treatment and hardwood construction. While its all-wood design provides some inherent flexibility, the overall characteristic leans toward stiffness, which benefits fast, direct attacking play.
Donic Burn OFF features low vibration that contributes to a stable, direct feel without energy loss. This characteristic enhances feedback and makes the blade feel solid during powerful shots.
Donic Burn OFF receives high marks for build quality with excellent stability and a well-crafted feel thanks to the Thermic Burned Technology process. Our testing shows no significant imperfections, and the overall finish is consistently good across production samples.
Technology
Donic Burn OFF utilizes proprietary Thermic Burned Technology where wood veneers undergo heat treatment at 200°C for 24 hours. This process hardens the wood, eliminates residual moisture, and significantly enhances blade stability while creating a larger sweet spot. The treatment delivers performance characteristics often associated with high-quality tropical woods, making the blade faster and stiffer for modern offensive play while maintaining unique playing feel.
Similar Blades
Donic Burn OFF-
The direct sibling to Burn OFF shares the same construction and Thermic Burned Technology but features a thinner Kiri core veneer. This results in slightly lighter weight (around 85g vs. 90g), increased control, and enhanced feel and spin potential. Players report it as a controlled offensive blade ideal for those prioritizing spin and finer control within an attacking game.
Donic Epox Offensive
Some comparisons suggest Donic Epox Offensive is generally heavier, stiffer, and faster than Burn OFF. Many players find Burn OFF preferable for its lighter feel and better control, while Epox Offensive serves as a more powerful though potentially less forgiving option for maximum offense.
