Donic Akkadi Taichi

The Donic Akkadi Taichi is very similar in terms of texture and playing behavior to the well-known Chinese rubbers of today. Therefore, it is not surprising that this rubber, also manufactured in China, was played by various top players from Asia some time ago.

The Akkadi Taichi is particularly characterized by its relatively sticky and thus incredibly grippy surface. What is also remarkable is the difference between the black and red versions.

The popular black variant is designed to be harder than the red version, thanks to a special underlayer. As a result, the black Taichi provides a bit more power and a direct playing behavior. On the other hand, the red version offers better ball feedback and is therefore somewhat easier to control. However, what both versions have in common is the incredibly high rotation potential. This is especially noticeable in the opening play. With extremely spin-rich serves and returns, you will enter rallies more effectively. And with offensive openings with massive spin, you can put your opponent under direct pressure. Getting these extremely spin-heavy shots under control, let alone blocking them precisely, will cause your opponent considerable headaches.

Whether you choose the Donic Akkadi Taichi in red (better control) or in black (more power) is up to you. However, you can definitely act with more spin and rotation than before.
