Donic Crest is a 9-ply offensive blade that offers good control and is relatively lightweight.
Donic Crest is no longer available on the market, but I bought it at a discounted price around $114 at a Donic store in the Philippines during the pandemic (2021).

Weight
The blade feels lightweight even though it is stacked with 9 layers of carbon and wood materials.
Spin Generation
Because the blade is 9-ply and uses ZLC as the outer material, it produces slightly less spin compared to other blades.
Defense
The blade offers good control, allowing you to feel the ball slightly when it hits the racket.
Offense
This blade is designed for power. If you like that crisp sound when striking the ball on offense, this blade delivers it.
Overall Rating
Overall, I recommend this blade, especially if you are looking for something lightweight with decent control and excellent attacking performance. The only downside is that the handle can feel slippery during use. Unfortunately, the blade is no longer available on the market, and I may switch to the ever-popular Viscaria.
