Donic Desto F1

Bought for a friend in our club. He loves the rubber. He beats me more times after using the rubber. He blocks my shots with ease.

Excellent fast rubber with minimal effort. Good for long shots and even defensive play.

Easy control.

Fast and easy to control. Particularly suitable for softer blades.

Bom dia

Para mim, essa borracha adere mais do que os 8,5 marcados. Fora isso, é uma borracha de 45° de dureza, boa para tudo.

Good, fast rubber.

Very good for all-around use.

This rubber was recommended to me by my cousin, who used to be a provincial player in China. Even now, the lower level players and provincial players use either this rubber or the Xiom Omega V as a substitute for the Tenergy 05.

Good.

This rubber is great for medium to high-level players. It’s a great choice after using F3, much faster than F3.

Classic rubber with excellent control for looping from all distances. It can be used for both backhand and forehand. However, it is not particularly suitable for drop-shots and chopping.

I compared XIOM Vega to Xiom Vega and it is cheaper.

Great rubber for a decent price. Lasting quality and great performance.

Donic Desto F1 is an older generation tensor rubber; very fast with good spin. Everything is good except the durability - it does not last.

Very fast, with a lot of spin.

Typical tensor rubber offers great speed and spin away from the table, but sacrifices a little (or a lot, depending on who you ask) in the short game.

When paired with a 5/7-ply wood blade with a hinoki-top veneer blade, it creates a beautiful combination, but may come at a slightly higher cost. Despite this, there are still many dedicated F1 users who continue to value it as a solid option in today’s market.

It brakes when the rubber just slightly touches the table!
There is almost no spin for serving, but there is a lot of spin when you loop the ball.
It is best to combine with Donic blades, especially the hard ones.

The rubber offers good speed and spin, though control is slightly poor.
In comparison to Baracuda, it generates less spin.
In Thailand, Baracuda is priced at 1300 bahts (38 USD), while this F1 rubber costs 1100 bahts (32 USD). Based on these factors, Baracuda is considered the better choice.

Cons:

• Holy $@!%… Wow… No durability at all. I’ve played with this for half a year, and the edges of the WHOLE rubber are broken and teared off…

Pros:

• Very good speed for such a price.
• Spin lacks a little for a rubber, but good speed sacrifices for spin, so it’s okay to assume.
• Control lacks a lot for this rubber.
• Looping and smashing are a breeze, I’m sure of it.
• It has a “CLICKY” sound to it.

If you want to keep using this rubber sheet and get the best results every time, you will have to buy it every couple of months because this loses its quality AND the amount of top sheet on, haha…

If you are just going to loop, this rubber is awesome! On the other hand, short pushes and spiny short serves are next to impossible. But it is still a fun rubber to use.

I love the tacky surface of this rubber. It provides a lot of feel and speed for both close to the table and mid-distance attacks. It’s also good for serving. Unfortunately, the durability is extremely poor.

Hmm… Quite the interesting rubber! I put this on my Arylate-Carbon Butterfly Ishlion (MAX sponge). It’s quite the offensive fiend! It’s fast and very spinny, but it lacks a lot of control and is relatively heavy. My blade is only 76g, but it feels like a ton with this rubber. However, it has great offensive potential if you can control it.

One of the most fun rubbers to play with, this one is a looping monster. You can easily get lots of power away from the table.

On the downside, short games and serves suffer quite a bit. But if you’re looking for good exercise from looping, look no further.

Unlike its softer counterparts, F1, the third-generation tensor rubber, features a harder sponge. This difference significantly reduces the glue feel “click” associated with softer rubbers. However, F1 retains the speed characteristic of tensor rubbers. It can generate spin effectively, similar to other tensor rubbers, but only on full, high-quality strokes, comparable to the Bryce rubber.
