In 2005 Patrick Baum caused a sensation by winning the World Junior Singles Championships and bringing the title back to Germany for the first time! His victories over the might of China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea give notice that the young generation of Europeans will become a force to be reckoned with.

Patrick Baum favours DONIC Senso Technology. His hard, relatively thick 7-ply offensive wood compliments his extremely aggressive game - fast topspin from both wings, hard smashes, power flips and dangerous solid backhand blocks.

The Baum Carrera blade affords excellent control despite high speed. This is what one would expect from a DONIC Senso blade "Made in Sweden".
