Donic Vario Soft

Similar to the normal Vario, this rubber offers a slightly softer feel and slower speed. It provides more control while maintaining the same level of spin.

I am disappointed with this rubber, perhaps because I use it for my backhand (BH). I find that this rubber is too soft and lacks the necessary elasticity to effectively counter hit or counter loop.

While I can use this rubber for a good return of service with my backhand against average rubbers like Sriver or Donic Coppa, it falls short when faced with rubbers like Tenergy. When someone serves long with Tenergy, this rubber lacks the power needed for a solid counterattack, as it feels too soft and weak.

I plan to try using it for my forehand (FH) instead, but I suspect it will also struggle with the power needed for counter-looping at mid-distance from the table. Overall, I believe this rubber is too soft to offer effective countering, especially when used for the backhand.

These rubbers are excellent for beginners in table tennis. They help you learn about spin theory while providing a great sense of feel. Additionally, they offer superb control and are not too fast, which allows you to practice without fear.

These are excellent rubbers for beginners, and they are very similar to Sriver FX.
