The Donic Coppa X2 Platin Soft is a table tennis rubber designed for players seeking a blend of speed, control, and durability. With an impressive speed rating of 105 and a spin rating of 98, this rubber is well-suited for a range of play styles, particularly those emphasizing precision and counter-hitting. While it features a lower throw angle, providing a flatter trajectory during play, the X2 Platin Soft demonstrates a commendable ability to handle various incoming spins, albeit with some sensitivity to extreme topspin.
In terms of tackiness, the Coppa X2 Platin Soft boasts a rating of 2.2, indicating a slightly tacky surface that aids in generating spin without excessively hindering control. It weighs a moderate 3.1, ensuring that players can handle it with ease while maintaining stability during intense rallies. This rubber is highly regarded for its consistency, scoring 8.7, which translates into reliable performance over long periods. Durability, rated at 6.9, reflects its ability to withstand wear, though some users have noted that edge durability can sometimes be an issue, particularly for aggressive play styles.
The Coppa X2 Platin Soft is an excellent choice for those looking for alternatives to tensor rubbers, as it does not incorporate tensor technology but still manages to deliver strong offensive capabilities. If you prefer a rubber that offers superior control and enhances blocking techniques, while still providing a decent amount of spin, the Coppa X2 is a solid option. Alternatives to consider might include the Donic Acuda series or the Rasanter rubbers, depending on specific playing requirements and preferences. Overall, this rubber is an excellent match for players focusing on strategic play close to the table, making it a worthy addition to any player’s arsenal.
The perfect rubber for blocking. Incredible control and very spin insensitive.
Spin is not as much as Acuda, but control is immensely better. Drives and hits are great. Hits well through the opponent’s loop.
Loops are controllable but not spinny. Good catapult: speed is like Acuda S2, maybe a bit less. Throw is low, lower than Acuda.
Many blockers don’t use Coppa because pushes are not spinny enough, and they prefer Acuda or Rasanter. For forehand, you might choose X1 because X2 might be too slow (unless you have fast carbon). But I would use something with more grip on forehand.
Very durable: since it’s not a grippy rubber, topsheet decay has very little impact.
I have been using this rubber for a year in the 2.0 mm red version on my forehand, paired with a Donic Epox PowerAllround blade. I bought it for 30 euros. It has an adequate speed for me - it is fast but not too fast, slower than fast tensor rubbers. It is also very controllable, made for precise smashing and blocking.
Due to its medium-low throw angle, it is weak in using topspin strokes against heavy incoming backspin, and that stroke needs special effort. It is also slightly sensitive to incoming spins, so the very heavy incoming topspin also bounces off sometimes. Its pair, the Donic Coppa X3, gives more spin, despite it having an even lower throw angle.
I do not recommend this rubber for spin-oriented top class players, but it is a good choice for players who rely on strong counterhits.
For the backhand rubber, I put on the Donic Coppa X2. I like this rubber a lot! It is somewhat the same as Donic Bluefire M2, but I think Donic Coppa X2 has a little more control and a lower trajectory. This rubber is really fast, but not as lightning fast as Donic Acuda S1 Turbo. However, it is still much faster than any convenient rubbers on the market, and it also provides a decent amount of spin.
Why do I say this rubber suits my backhand? I use the traditional backhand to push when near the table, but as I step back, I start to use the reverse backhand. Since the reverse backhand makes the ball spin more than the traditional backhand block, this rubber is just what I need. I can use my wrist to add more spin, but the rubber helps me have a faster ball.
The weight is quite light, which is definitely comfortable for both backhands. The throw angle is quite low, but you will still find that you can play comfortably with this rubber.
