RR ScoreUpdated on 2026-10-02

Top model in Donic-Schildkröt's Appelgren line. The blade has 5 wood plies with a concave handle and an AVS vibration-damping system, and the ITTF-approved red and black rubbers use a 1.5 mm sponge. It weighs about 159 g. Donic lists speed 50, spin 50 and control 80. It has more ball output than the Appelgren 300 and is still easy to control, good for those who already rally regularly.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%56
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
