Donic Desto F1 Plus

Review

Spin Rating Accuracy:

The high spin rating on the product description is not entirely accurate. While the rubber does produce some rotation, it is more suited for direct strokes and fast drives with moderate spin.

Hardness:

The rubber’s sponge exhibits a medium hardness, while the upper sheet is soft. This combination results in an overall “med-” feel.

Durability:

Initially, the rubber provides excellent grip, enabling spin-focused play. However, after several training sessions, the grip diminishes significantly, leaving it grippy but not spin-conducive. This remaining grip has a longer lifespan, similar to that of the Tibhar Speedy Spin.

Edge Durability:

The edges of the rubber have not shown signs of crumbling. However, the upper sheet has faded in areas where fingers are frequently placed, resulting in complete grip loss in those regions.

Conclusion:

This rubber is primarily suited for a fast, direct offensive style of play. While rotation is possible, it should not be the primary focus of the player’s game.
