Customer review for Donic Desto F1

External Review for Donic Desto F1 on June 8, 2010

This rubber from Donic is soft yet very fast since the rubber/sponge combo is pretty springy. I switched from an OFF blade and JO Waldner rubber to an ALL + blade with this rubber and the results were more control, more power, better looping. I only lost slightly on spin of serve. The top sheet is not tacky and spin is generated by getting the ball into the sponge creating more surface area for contact.

I would suggest the control is good for a rubber of this speed as the linear. IE some rubbers if you hit a bit harder the ball goes flying, this one if you hit a bit harder the ball goes a bit faster. I'd recommend it for aggressive players 2000+ that have good control of their attacking game. Below that the F2 or even the F3 would be better to learn control of the game.

I had no problems using this rubber with speed glue and the sponge held up fine, it reverse domes a lot, and the built-in speed glue effect goes away anyways. The top sheet will look aged very quickly, make sure you use the sticky donic plastic protector
