Customer review for Donic Desto F4

External Review for Donic Desto F4 on August 2, 2022

RUBBER Facts: extra light selected red rubber with 1.8 mm sponge thickness ( ... and 40 degree sponge hardness). Packed 90 g, uncut 55 g, cut on my Zhang JK SZLC replica (150 x 156 mm) only 38 g !!!! I bought this rubber, because I was looking for a lighter BH rubber. In the past I always played BH rubbers with 36-38 g weight and so my blade had a maximum weight of 170 g. (- ... which my wrist likes much better.)
In my opinion, the Desto F4 is relatively hard for a 40 degree rubber, which is probably due to a very tight top sheet. (- my Bluefire BigSlam or my Andro Hexer Grip SFX with 40 degrees, feels much softer.)
Conclusion: It is advisable not to choose the hardest and stiffest blade for this rubber! In combination with my very hard blade, the feel of the game is ultimately too hard and too direct for me, and I lose the actually quite good control that I'm used to . What surprised me in an absolutely positive way about this very inexpensive rubber,is, the very decent spin development. This rubber is an excellent alternative for beginners, advanced users and players who are looking for a controlled BH rubber.
PS: I can recommend the following (German) review to anyone, who would like more detailed information about the rubber. ( ... however, the rubber is specified here with a sponge hardness of 37.5 degrees !!!)

Addendum: This is a call to everyone who thinks they have to rate something (especially speed, spin or control) and use the maximum rating of 10. The rating 10 stands for the maximum possible !!!! - and something like that will only be sold to you by a dealer who lies to you in order to sell his goods.
... AND, please do not enter any ratings in the tables without having written a report !!!!! - with that you are helping "nobody". Please everyone think about it!
