Donic Coppa

Rubber description:

The Donic Coppa is a high-performance table tennis rubber celebrated for its advanced blend of speed, spin, and control, making it an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced players seeking a competitive edge. With a speed rating of 8.4, the Coppa delivers explosive acceleration, allowing for aggressive offensive play while maintaining a notable spin rating of 8.8, which enhances its ability to generate spin on serves and loops. Coupled with a control rating of 8.7, players can confidently execute complex strokes with precision and predictability.

In terms of tackiness, the Coppa is rated at 3.8, indicating a moderate level that provides a good grip on the ball without being overly sticky. This characteristic allows for effective spin generation but may be less effective for players favoring a more tacky rubber. The weight of the rubber is rated at 4.9, categorizing it as medium, which strikes a balance between ease of handling and the ability to generate power.

Durability is another essential aspect of the Donic Coppa, with a durability rating of 7.3, which suggests it can withstand regular play without significant loss of performance. While some players might seek alternatives for higher durability, the performance benefits of the Coppa may justify its longevity for many enthusiasts.

For players considering alternatives, the Donic Coppa competes well with products like the Butterfly Tenergy series or the Yasaka Rakza, each offering their unique spin and speed characteristics. However, the Coppa’s excellent consistency rating of 10 ensures reliable performance, making it a standout choice among table tennis rubbers.

This is a “classical” rubber, which means it is not very bouncy. It has a slight amount of tackiness.

It is a bit harder, faster, and spinnier compared to Mark V or Focus III Snipe. Weighing 43g and glued in 2.1 mm, this rubber is still going strong after 70 hours of play.

I have found that while using tensors, the classical rubbers are easier to control, both over and close to the table. This makes it very easy to keep pushes low. Blocks and counters are also performed well. However, I do find that looping is an area where I need more assistance.

Overall, this table tennis rubber performs well in all aspects. It can be fresh-glued easily and offers a variety of gears. Additionally, it provides a good amount of kick during play.

The old reliable is still excellent; it’s a tad faster and better than Mark V. I am using Donic Coppa on both my C-pen blades: Avalox BT777 and Stiga Hybrid Wood.

This rubber is a true classic from Donic and is worth the money. I definitely recommend it!
