About Balsa Carbo Fleece
Donic Balsa Carbo Fleece is a 2015 5+2 carbon balsa table tennis blade made in Germany. It is ITTF-approved, classed offensive (OFF), and uses a balsa core — light, thick and high-throw, popular with defensive and allround setups.
Factory figures: typical weight 72 g, thickness 7 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Balsa (5+2 carbon balsa). Offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin is the intended game.
Combined index: speed 90, control 84, stiffness 80 (official mapping 90 / 84 / 80). Outer fibre shortens dwell and raises the first-ball speed compared with an all-wood of similar weight.
Community score 8.5 / 10 from 30 reviews. Indicative European street price €70. Compare Balsa Carbo Fleece with other balsa OFF blades on TableTennisReview.

Handles
Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.
- Flared (FL)
- Straight (ST)
- Anatomic (AN)
- Flared (FL)
- The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
- Straight (ST)
- A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
- Anatomic (AN)
- An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
