Extension AC

Donic Extension AC is a moderately fast blade, offering a good balance of speed for offensive play without being overwhelming. Our testing shows it provides enough pace for attacking shots while remaining controllable for a wide range of players, making it suitable for developing offensive techniques.

Control is a major strength of this blade, with ratings consistently at the top end of the scale. This exceptional control comes from its thin construction, the combination of soft and medium-hard wood plies, and carefully placed PBO-fiber/carbon layers that provide stability without sacrificing feel.

Extension AC offers a medium-soft feel that provides good feedback to the player. The combination of softer outer plies and underlying PBO-fiber/carbon layers creates a sensation that's both sensitive and stable, allowing for excellent touch on delicate shots.

The blade's ability to generate spin and its control-oriented nature suggest a medium-high throw angle, which is conducive to topspin play and allows for effective looping techniques.

The blade's high control and excellent feel suggest moderate to long dwell time. This allows for good ball pocketing, enabling players to generate significant spin on serves and topspins while maintaining precision.

Described as 'speed-elastic' with some flex, the blade balances stiffness and flexibility well. This characteristic allows for both power generation and good ball feel, with the thin construction contributing to its responsive nature.

The hybrid construction incorporating both wood and PBO-fiber/carbon results in a medium level of vibration. The carbon layers provide stability and dampen excessive vibration, contributing to a more controlled and comfortable playing experience.

Players report excellent build quality and craftsmanship with high satisfaction levels. The precision in construction and material selection contributes to consistent performance and excellent feel, making it a reliable choice for serious players.
