Donic Table tennis racket cover Desto First

Thanks to the DONIC Desto First, you'll make a great start in table tennis. It's a balanced allround rubber that provides a good compromise between speed and control. Firm, with very good feel and excellent control, this rubber helps you develop your ball touch and learn the basic techniques. The Desto First is available in two sponge thicknesses: 1.8 mm for beginners - optimal for maximum control and easier learning of techniques, and 2.0 mm for more advanced players - offering a bit more speed, without losing control. Every rally helps you improve, so your technique gets better, you progress, and your table tennis career is on the right track - FROM ZERO TO HERO.

Innovation for more feel - GO Technology

The GO concept was developed by DONIC to optimally support beginners and children in learning technique. Right from the start, appropriate equipment should be used relative to the skill level. The GO concept combines several key elements that fit together perfectly and ease and accelerate the learning of technique. The two rubber technologies, Air-GO-FX and GO2Spin, follow the same fundamental principle, which is to facilitate the entry into table tennis. According to the different stages of learning, they are the basis of a future playing system. The AirGO-FX technology combines a purple sponge focused on control (Purple2GO-CTRL) of 37.5° with slightly longer flexible pimples. This results in a soft and gentle contact with the ball, during which you get a precise feel for the ball. At the same time, the sponge is elastic enough to provide the necessary speed. The GO2Spin rubber offers a tacky, slightly sticky surface that is especially suited for beginner players and learning. The ball doesn’t slip but grips perfectly, allowing for reliable spin, secure ball touch, and rapid improvements in learning. The perfect match between sponge and rubber ensures the rubber is particularly easy to play and helps beginners achieve quick success.

A well-thought-out overall concept.

In combination with DONIC Zentra blades and the following Desto Next rubber, a comprehensive concept has been developed that allows both beginner and more advanced players to benefit from the best conditions right from the start for learning table tennis. The subsequent Desto Next rubber plays harder (sponge 42.5°), is more direct and focused on spin than the Desto First. It helps you take the next step - only if you already have a more advanced level and your technique is already more developed. Made in Germany, the DONIC Desto First rubber not only impresses with its playing qualities but also with its excellent durability. It signifies reliable and lasting quality alongside remarkable playing characteristics.
