Donic Epox PowerAllround merges classic all-round play with modern innovation, delivering a dynamic yet controlled offensive experience. Its unique epoxy resin gluing process adds stiffness and power while eliminating harsh vibrations. Built from five carefully chosen wood veneers, this blade offers a balanced feel perfect for aggressive all-rounders and controlled attackers. Lightweight with durable Fineline wood edge protection, it provides a comfortable, long-lasting playing experience that excels in speed, control, and tactile feedback.

5-Ply Construction

The blade features a symmetrical 5-ply all-wood construction. Outer layers are dark-blue Fineline for stiffness and speed, while inner plies use Ayous wood with a thicker core ply for added rigidity and power. The unique epoxy resin adhesive between veneers is heat-pressed to create a highly rigid, vibration-free bond that enhances dynamic properties.

This process creates an exceptionally rigid, vibration-free bond between the five wood plies, enhancing dynamism, speed, and control. Additionally, the Donic Fineline Covered System provides 360° edge protection from Fineline wood, boosting durability and aesthetic refinement to maintain performance and appearance over time.
