Persson Power AR Senso V1

Sweden

Donic Persson Power AR Senso V1 is a 5-ply all-wood blade crafted for players who want to play aggressively without sacrificing control. Its signature Senso technology features a hollowed handle that enhances ball feedback and reduces weight, creating a unique, responsive feel. With limba outer plies and an abachi core, this blade delivers a balanced mix of speed and dwell time, making it ideal for powerful topspin attacks and consistent defensive play. It's a versatile, professional-grade option that empowers you to take charge of the point.

5-Ply Construction

This symmetrical 5-ply construction uses limba outer layers for responsiveness and abachi inner layers (including distinctive red abachi) for balance and dwell. The wood combination creates a classic feel with modern performance characteristics.

TT Sensei Ratings

Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics

Speed
8.0

This blade delivers impressive speed for aggressive all-round play. The Senso handle design contributes to its acceleration, making topspin drives and counter-attacks feel quick and direct. While it's clearly an offensive tool, the speed remains manageable and integrated with its control characteristics, preventing it from becoming uncontrollably fast. Players report it feels faster than many traditional all-wood blades, giving you that extra punch when you need it.

Control
8.0

Control is a major strength of the Persson Power AR Senso V1. The direct feedback from the Senso handle lets you feel every ball contact clearly, enabling precise placement and consistent strokes. Even when playing offensively, the blade maintains a predictable, secure feel that builds confidence. This excellent control comes from both the wood composition and the technology, allowing you to execute complex shots without sacrificing stability.

Feel
Medium-Hard
SoftMedium-HardHard

You get a responsive, solid feel with good ball retention—classic wood characteristics with modern refinement. The Senso technology enhances feedback without making the blade feel harsh or numb. It strikes a nice balance between being tactile enough for touch shots and firm enough for powerful drives, creating a confident connection with the ball.

Throw Angle
Medium-High
LowMedium-HighHigh

Expect a medium-high throw angle that facilitates aggressive topspin shots and helps clear the net with margin. This characteristic supports offensive play by allowing you to attack with both power and safety, making it easier to pressure opponents with deep, spinning balls.

Dwell Time
7.0

The wood combination provides sufficient dwell time for effective spin generation, especially useful for brushing topspins. While not exceptionally long, it gives you enough contact time to shape your shots deliberately. This characteristic supports modern offensive play where spin and placement are crucial.

Flexibility
6.0

This blade offers moderate flexibility—enough to help generate spin and absorb impact, but leaning toward stiffness for powerful strokes. It's not overly flexible, which supports its offensive orientation while still providing some feeling for the ball. This balance makes it effective for both driving through the ball and brushing for spin.

Vibration
6.0

Vibration levels are well-managed, providing useful feedback without being distracting or uncomfortable. The Senso handle channels vibrations in a way that enhances feel rather than dampening it completely. You get clear information about ball impact while maintaining a solid, stable sensation during play.

Quality
8.5

With years as a best-seller and professional endorsements, this blade has proven its quality and durability. The Swedish manufacturing suggests high standards in construction and material selection. Players appreciate its solid finish and reliable performance over time, noting it offers good value for its performance level. It's a well-made piece of equipment that holds up to competitive use.

Technology

The core innovation is Senso technology—a hollowed handle design that reduces overall weight while enhancing ball feedback. This creates a more direct connection between your hand and the ball, improving control and feel, especially on faster shots. Combined with its 5-ply all-wood construction using limba and abachi veneers, the technology optimizes the blade for responsive, aggressive all-round play where touch and power must coexist.

Pro Players Using This Blade

Similar Blades

Donic Persson Powerallround

This is the non-Senso version of the same blade line. It shares similar wood construction but lacks the hollow handle technology, resulting in slightly different weight distribution and feel. Players choosing between them should consider whether they prefer the enhanced feedback of the Senso system.

Donic Persson Power Carbon Senso V1

For players wanting more speed and stiffness, this carbon hybrid version offers significantly faster performance. While sharing the Senso technology, the carbon layers create a distinctly different feel—more direct and powerful—suited for ultra-aggressive play rather than balanced all-round offense.
