Donic Relevant (Auslauf)

Donic Relevant - A blade with offensive potential & good feeling

The wood types implemented in the Donic Relevant are characterized by a high quality and excellent gaming properties. These materials are ayous (the core veneer, more details on ayous below) and limba (intermediate and outer plies, more information on this wood type below). Both materials result in a sensitive touch of the ball and a pleasant speed, which is easy to control.

In order to constantly mediate much stability and a precise feedback, the Relevant from Donic is equipped with two layers of Certran. Certran is a synthetic fiber with a high degree of stiffness and a relatively low weight. Also, unpleasant vibrations are markedly reduced and this fiber also provides support when doing offensive moves. This is achieved by a great acceleration profile allowing you to constantly exert pressure on your opponent.

The perfect balance and fine-tuning between the different materials leads to a pleasant mix of speed and feeling. Also, the weight of the Donic Relevant (approx. 85 g) is neither too light nor too heavy, resulting in a very comfortable handling.

Donic Relevant - Details on ayous and limba & summary

Ayous (a.k.a. Abachi, Obeche, or Samba) is a tree that grows in tropical regions of West Africa, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, and so on. Ayous trees reach a height of 50 m, and exhibit a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 m. Ayous wood is relatively light (350 kg/m³), medium-strong (Young´s modulus: 6,800 N/mm²), and medium-hard (Janka hardness: 430). As table tennis veneer, Ayous is well-known for its positive gaming properties. The moderate heaviness and moderate hardness induce a pleasant feedback and feeling of the ball. This is particularly important during passive blocks, the short-short play, and during long ball rallies.

Limba is a tree usually native to regions south of the equator. The trees exhibit a height of up to 45 m, and their trunk reach a diameter of up to about 1.5 m. Limba is medium-hard (Janka hardness: 430), medium-dense (520 kg/m³), and quite strong (Young´s modulus: 9,400 N/mm²). This emphasizes the suitability of this blade as an offensive minus (Off-) blade. Also, Limba is known as a topspin wood, which is also quite fast, but not very elastic / springy. Furthermore, Limba has a soft feeling and quite a bit of control.

After this specific information, we would like to provide a brief and general summary on the Donic Relevant. This table tennis blade is highly suitable for active players requesting a high degree of safety, much feeling, and a great price-performance ratio. Also offensive properties are not neglected. Hence, the Relevant is a true recommendation for controlled, spin-oriented attackers (gaming style "Off-") and active allrounders (gaming style "All+").
