Extension Green Carbon
Donic Extension Green Carbon is a 7-ply hybrid blade built for offensive players who want speed without sacrificing control. It features a walnut outer veneer combined with Ayous wood and distinctive green-black Aramid Carbon Fiber layers, creating a balanced feel that enhances touch and spin generation. This blade delivers high acceleration for powerful attacks while maintaining the precision needed for nuanced shots. Its quality craftsmanship and unique aesthetic make it a compelling choice for players looking to elevate their aggressive game.
This symmetrical 7-ply stack pairs hard walnut outer layers with softer Ayous and a central Awan core, interspersed with Aramid Carbon Fiber. The hybrid design aims to deliver carbon-enhanced stiffness and speed while preserving the tactile control associated with wood blades.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
This blade is consistently rated as very fast, offering high acceleration and impact that suits aggressive offensive play. The carbon fiber layers are a key contributor to its swift response, making it ideal for players who rely on powerful strokes and quick counter-attacks.
Despite its impressive speed, the Extension Green Carbon delivers exceptional control, allowing for precise shot placement, steady blocks, and consistent ball manipulation during fast exchanges. The hybrid construction balances wood feel with carbon response, giving players confidence in their touch even at high tempo.
The feel offers a nice touch with a direct response, leaning towards stiffness while still providing good feedback. The blend of wood and carbon creates a sensation that is firm yet communicative, not overly harsh.
The blade produces a high throw angle, which complements its spin-friendly nature. This helps in creating lofty, spin-loaded arcs ideal for aggressive topspin loops and serves.
Our testing shows a medium to medium-high dwell time, enabling effective spin generation and good ball contact. This characteristic helps players load the ball with spin for more aggressive and controlled shots.
This is a stiff blade, contributing to its directness and speed. The low flexibility supports powerful shots and quick transitions, making it responsive for offensive maneuvers but less forgiving on mishits.
Vibration levels are manageable, offering clear feedback without being overwhelming. The hybrid construction helps dampen excessive vibrations, resulting in a comfortable and informative feel during play.
Players report excellent craftsmanship, with a nice finish and well-balanced construction that meets the standards of more expensive equipment. The blade feels solid and reliable, offering a premium experience that enhances overall play.
Technology
Donic Extension Green Carbon employs a 7-ply hybrid construction that marries Aramid Carbon Fiber with select wood layers—walnut, Ayous, and Awan. This design harnesses the stiffness and speed of carbon for enhanced power and acceleration, while the wood veneers contribute essential feel, control, and spin potential. The distinctive green-black carbon fiber is not just an aesthetic mark but a functional element that improves touch and overall performance, creating a blade that bridges the gap between raw speed and refined control.
