Donic Coppa

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!

This rubber may have been around for some time, but it still delivers exceptional performance. It is one of the best rubbers I have used to date, and it serves as my forehand (FH) rubber.

This rubber allows me to play creatively and offers impressive flexibility to suit many types of playing styles. I can produce slow, spinny loops, loop drives, and flat hits with ease. Additionally, blocking and the short game are also very controllable with this rubber.

I couldn’t ask for more!

I have a strong appreciation for the old Donic Coppa rubber. It excels in looping and chopping, offering great control and an impressive dwell time factor, which I consider the best ever. Additionally, it is reasonably priced, making it my favorite overall rubber.

It’s worth noting that legendary players like Waldner and Persson used this rubber during their prime years. Waldner, in particular, is often regarded as the best player of all time, which speaks volumes about the quality of this product. Furthermore, the old Donic Coppa allows for speed gluing, unlike its newer versions.

This rubber is essentially designed for players seeking a balance of speed and control, along with a significant amount of spin.

I have primarily used it on the backhand, paired with a Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Blade in a shakehand grip.

When you develop a good feel for this rubber, you will undoubtedly feel like a champion while playing with it.

Rubber speed is very slow.

Review text:

As for me, Donic Coppa can be used for intermediate players as FH and BH, as all-round and offensive rubber.
My flexy Yasaka Sweden Classic (ALL+) plays as OFF- with Donic Coppa red max and it’s only with classic topspin technique.
I see no difference in speed with my previous fiberglass setup Yinhe Mercury-13 with FH Palio AK-47 Red.

Not bad. I have not used it for very long. I am getting more used to it but I agree with the review that said they wanted more spin. I got it because it was $21 at TT11. I think I would prefer Mark V. Still, I think Donic has good quality and I would prefer this to something cheap for sure.

Good for offensive players but not at the same level as Donic Acuda or Tenergy.

Excellent rubber with good spin and speed. It’s medium-hard and is perfect for players looking for control, spin, and speed. It can’t be compared to tensors in terms of speed if you are looking for high-speed rubber. I got this at a discount and justified my purchase with respect to other rubbers available in the market having similar characteristics.

This rubber provides good spin and speed. You can control the placement of the shots. I am completely satisfied with it.

Classic rubber with a medium-hard sponge, offers a lot of spin, very good control, and enough speed for beginners and all-round players. For offensive players it fits well, of course, but needs a carbon blade and/or booster, so you will have the old speed glue sensation.

Soodsa hinnaga tasub proovimist (ostsin allahindlusega). Olen ise lauatennist mänginud alla aasta, seega algaja vaatenurgast täiesti korralik kumm. Panin MAX mõõduga Stiga Allround Classic WRB alusele ( nii eeskäsi kui tagakäsi), ilmselgelt oleks õhem kumm parema kontrolliga, aga saab hakkama. Vinti tõmbab täiesti korralikult, kiirus on algaja taseme kohta vägagi hea.

Got this rubber in 2.1 black on the FH of a 5-ply off-wood blade.

Speed: Acceptable. Slower than my 2.0 Mark V but faster than my 1.9 Sriver, but nothing compared to things like tensors and Chinese rubbers like Skyline/Hurricane.

Spin: Decent spin, more than Sriver/about the same as Mark V, but still nothing special compared to Chinese rubbers. To be honest, while the spin is good, I was frankly disappointed, as spin is supposed to be this rubber’s greatest strength.

Control: As expected, the control is excellent. This rubber shined in touch play and helped a lot with serve placement (It even allowed me to chop when I did). Better than all tensors I’ve played with (not an exhaustive list though).

Summary: While it’s good, if you are more than a beginner there is no real reason to get this rubber. Without the discount I got it for, it’s quite expensive for the performance, and there are a number of good faster/spinnier and still controllable rubbers out there such as the Mark V, DHS Skyline, DHS Tin Arc, Target National, Gambler Wrath, and the many Euro tensors such as the Andro Rasants.

While I enjoyed playing with this rubber for a while, I’m switching it out for a Chinese/Euro hybrid rubber: the DHS Tin Arc 3. In my opinion, this DHS rubber is better than the original COPPA rubber in every way, except for maybe the price.

Final verdict: If you are a beginner looking for a forehand rubber with acceptable spin/speed, good control, look no further than this rubber. If you are past the early stage, go for something faster. The only time I would recommend this rubber to someone more advanced is if they are a chopper who wants something slow but still capable of attack on their forehand.

Very nice rubber.

Отличная накладка после бустера Falco Long Booster.

Отличная накладка на FH и BH отлично играет с бустером FALCO LONG BUSTER.

Отличная накладка на FH и на BH. Только надо положить два слоя FALCO BUSTER. Играет супер.

Excellent control, good spin, perfect for all-around players. Also suitable for offensive players.

Excellent control, good spin. Perfect for all-around players.

Este hule está muy bien para ser usado por una niña que está en etapa de iniciación de entrenamiento del tenis de mesa. Nos gusta su calidad y está a muy buen precio.

Unbelievable! I thank Tabletennis11 for including the missing item (Donic Coppa rubber) in my previous order to the order which I received some minutes ago. I commend the sincerity & honesty shown towards my plight. I must say your services are also excellent & your prices and quality of your products are commendable. I am also happy for JOOLA RUBBER which has recently been introduced but prices are on the high side. Buhari.

Nice rubber with good spin and speed!

I am using this Coppa series for the first time. Good feel, spiny, and controlled rubber!

Don’t buy it if you expect speed :)
Old classic rubber, quite hard, yet I prefer it a lot over Sriver L which should be the equivalent.
Great rubber if you like to play a controlled all/off game, but you have to win the points, it won’t do it for you.
It is a bit overpriced when not on discount, but you guys have great prices here, so no complaint at all!!!.

Great rubber for speed and spin! And the price was pleasing! The only downside - there is no laminate on the rubber.

This rubber blocks just fine! It isn’t as fast as hell and I’ve seen more spin on other rubbers, but it is nicely balanced, more all-round than offensive-oriented.

Awesome rubber. I have it on my Donic Applegren Allplay S2 and it feels great. I’m a beginner but I can feel the difference between this and a cheap preassembled racket. The spin capability is top-notch. I use a lot of backspin on my serve and 80% of them go unanswered. It does whatever its master commands. I can’t imagine what it can do in the hands of an advanced or pro player. On the cheaper side compared to other beginner rubbers like Butterfly Sriver or Yasaka Mark V.

It’s basically for players who want a mixture of speed and control with a lot of spin. I can produce slow, spinny loops, loop drives, and flat hits with ease. Blocking and the short game are also very controllable with this rubber.
