Donic launches Carbon Pro 25 blade for clubs with enlarged sweet spot

Donic unveiled the Carbon Pro 25 on January 24, 2026, pitching the blade at club players and serious recreationalists who want more stability on off-center hits while keeping feel. The new blade combines a 5-ply wood core with a 2-layer carbon sandwich, and Donic lists a 25 mm head thickness, a medium-fast speed rating, an 85 g nominal weight, and an enlarged sweet spot designed to broaden consistent contact area.

The company framed the Carbon Pro 25 as a bridge between traditional allround wood blades and thin, edge-driven carbon race blades. Donic’s product director, Maria Heine, summed that intent plainly: “We saw demand from clubs for a blade that retained feel but added more consistent power across a wider hitting area. Carbon Pro 25 is our answer.”

Donic also announced a matched rubber pairing available as a pack option. The rubber is an inverted sheet with a 48-degree sponge for varied speed characteristics and a medium-grip top sheet aimed at preserving spin control and serve/receive feel. Donic will sell the blade alone and as a blade-plus-rubber pack, giving players an out-of-the-box setup targeted at club practice and league play.

Availability is set for pre-order through Donic’s dealer network starting February 10, 2026. The manufacturer posted an MSRP of €99.99 for the blade alone and €149.99 for the blade + rubber pack. Donic highlighted demo opportunities at selected dealers and regional training centers through February and March, letting players test the claimed larger sweet spot in real training conditions before committing.

For club captains and coaches the practical value is straightforward: a blade that reduces the penalty on off-center strokes can keep rallies alive and lower the number of outright unforced errors during practice drills and match play. Players who rely on loop-first, touch-heavy rallies or who are moving from allround wood to carbon will find the Carbon Pro 25 positioned as a compromise that aims to keep the arc and dwell of wood blades while adding carbon’s stability.

Expect initial feedback from regional demos to shape club buying decisions over the spring calendar. Try a demo session to assess how the enlarged sweet spot changes blocking and counterloop consistency, and weigh the €149.99 pack if you want a factory-matched rubber pairing. If Donic’s claims hold up in club halls and training centers, the Carbon Pro 25 could become a common choice for teams that prefer reliable performance across a wider hitting area rather than the pinpoint power of race-style carbon blades.
