The DONIC Desto First is the perfect way to get started in table tennis. It is a well-balanced all-round rubber that offers the right mix of speed and control. Soft, responsive and very easy to control, it helps you develop your feel for the ball and learn stroke techniques. Desto First is available in two sponge thicknesses: 1.8 mm for beginners – ideal for maximum control and easy learning of techniques – and 2.0 mm for advanced players – offering a little more speed without losing control.
