Donic Desto Rubbers

DONIC’s speed-oriented series, and the first rubber designed with FORMULA DONIC, which made speed gluing unnecessary. A fine-pore sponge and a spin-elastic topsheet with thin, long, widely spaced pimples give a relatively flat ball flight and outstanding speed.

F1 is hard and fast, F2 medium, F3 relatively soft with excellent control, and F3 Big Slam extremely soft. The newer Desto F1rst and N2xt are here too.

Inside the rubber

Fine-pore sponge on the whole series: outstanding dynamics and a harder feel, so topspins fly flatter and straighter.

Long, thin pimples in the topsheet: a softer playing feel and more speed.

Full tension: the speed-glue effect built in to the maximum, as in almost all of DONIC’s newer rubbers.
