Description of Donic Cayman

All-round with good feel
DONIC developed with the CAYMAN, an extremely light and relatively fast all round blade with high rigidity and excellent control. This blade is especially suitable for players using pimples. The hard outer plies are particularly effective when using long or short pimples. Blocking and counter attacking become more deadly and more troublesome, especially for long pimpled players. Amazing control, with no lessening of speed, permits the player using this DONIC blade to attack and defend and enjoy his game. This does not only apply to players using pimples

Reviews of the Donic Cayman

Review noob hacker said this on August 16, 2011:

got the blade for only $26 off ttnpp - good stuff! this is how the blade plays:

blocking/flat hitting: this thing blocks and flat hits extremely well - especially when near the table. Many times it'll surprise the opponent because the ball gets returned before they can recover from their stroke

looping: I found it a bit tough to produce some spinny loops. So far I've been experimenting with a bunch of different rubbers and it seems a medium sponge has been working the best

chopping: not the greatest for chopping because the blade lacks feel. Like for looping, medium rubbers seemed to work best for me.

A very good blade for the full-offensive player, but a finesse-oriented player should look elsewhere.

Super light, stiff allrounder, as proclaimed works well with long pimples !
Review Arise said this on June 3, 2012:

Stiff light blade, the best blade I tried for pimple. Good control, ALL+ speed, good hiting but not really good for looping, it's better to use soft rubber
Review epicjose said this on September 4, 2012:

Got this as my first "real" blade. Its very delicate since the inside is made out of cork and uber light. No vibration, very soft feel. I don't like this blade since I don't feel that i hit the sweet spot often and its just way too soft for a counter hitter like me.

Speed: ALL
Control: high

Used this with Donic Vario Soft & Mach 1 rubber, this blade is faster than advertised with great control. This blade can loop well with soft rubber and counters fast. Worth a try as backup blade.
