I have the Epox Top Speed.
I don't prefer the blade. It's fast, but less control. Less feeling(hard feel) , less dwell time. And it vibrates to much for me. And H2 is not a good combo with TopSpeed. Butterfly Kong Linghui is much better. More feeling. And it's not loosing control and feeling if you hit fast balls. Good combo with H2. Medium feeling, normal dwell time, good control, good speed. |

I had/have a Donic Epox Offensive. Had Cermet 2.1 FH / Solcion 1.9 BH. I wasn't landing too many shots with it. Then again, my skill level has greatly improved since then, so I'm not to sure. From what I remember, it was a pretty hard blade. The handle was really nice though. It broke on me after it flew out of my hand.

I've only played with the donic epox offensive for a little bit from a friend. One thing I noticed was it felt fast compared to my YEO.
One thing of note, the donic epox offensive my friend was using broke after about 5 months of play at the handle and where the head connects. It can be possible that it was bad quality control or random bad luck. |

I really like the Epox Offensive. It feels very light and balanced, pretty fast, better control than other blades I've tried. Pairs well with a variety of rubbers.

I have the Epox Topspeed and it seems like a nice enough blade. I didn't play with it long enough notice any distinctive faults.
It is one of the fastest all wood blades but I prefer faster blades than all wood construction can provide.

"JRSdallas, whats the speed of the topspeed comapred to oher blades you have tried
"
The picture below shows a graph of the relative speed of the EPOX TOPSPEED versus a number of common blades that I have tried and have measured the performance of. When looking at the graph, the curves with peaks that are more to the right (higher frequency) are faster than those blades with peaks that are at lower frequencies. NOTE: Unit-to-unit manufacturing differences for every model of blade can result in some shift in the frequency which might result in a slight shuffling of the relative order of the peaks but in general this is a reasonable snapshot of relative speed ranking of the below blades.  |

I play now with epox topspeed, combined with gewo proton (soft) rubbers.
Compared with my older galaxy t11, this blade is faster, and has more control (or more sweet spot). It also has better impact sound. It's really good on passive blocks and backspins. Great on smashes, buy I think it lacks on control when "topspinning". I've not spent too much time training with it, but I think i'll be able to control in not much time. |

I play the Donic Epox Power Carbon with BTY Tenergy rubbers and the combination is great. The Donic Epox Power Carbon is rated at OFF+ but the speed is more like OFF. It is a stiff blade but has great control and has the best feeling handles I have ever experienced. No sharp edges to sand anywhere! Quality is the best of any manufacturer I have seen in years.

Kokutaku 868 Tokyo on Topspeed are a good (very powerful) combo.
