The rubber with vicious spin.

The new FORMULA DONIC BARACUDA rubber with inbuilt speed glue effect produces fantastic spin.
With DONIC BARACUDA the ball leaves the blade in a conspicuously higher arc, giving considerably more spin. The increased rotation of the ball stabilises the flight and increases speed.
The results are convincing after a few hours of training to become used to this modern rubber. Accuracy of placement is visibly improved even for top players. DONIC BARACUDA offers that extra margin of safety even in the tightest situation, and not only when engaged in a high risk top spin game.
DONIC BARACUDA’s top rubber surface has been newly constructed to minimise abrasion and damage to the edges. The happy result: more playing hours with a surface that remains intact without noticeable damage.

For more than two very successful decades the DONIC Vario rubber series has had a lasting impact on the sport of table tennis. Now, for the first time DONIC presents a rubber sheet in this series labelled “Made in Germany”.
The DONIC Vario Big Slam is the result of the world famous Formula DONIC technology with inbuilt speed glue effect.
DONIC Vario is known as the pioneer in the soft generation of rubbers. The team of DONIC rubber experts set about developing a soft Vario rubber sheet, adjusting its properties to the present high demands of the sport.
With Vario Big Slam, the DONIC team designed a rubber sheet which allows control and all round players with a tendency to an offensive game to advance to a new playing level.
Due to its extremely soft 35 degree sponge, you get perfect feeling on the blade. This is the ideal rubber for spin and rotation players who prefer soft rubbers and like to hear a fantastic sound when hitting the ball.

developed by DONIC, „made in Japan“

Technically competent players put great emphasis on a taut and grippy top surface to impart maximum spin for service, return and topspin. When using topspin this rubber produces a higher arc to the ball in flight.

DONIC Coppa Speed is the perfect rubber for players who value a varied spin game. Another advantage is that this rubber has excellent long-lasting qualities.

DONIC Coppa Speed’s taut Japanese top surface rubber is extremely fast and spinny.

Made in China

The very grippy top surface of the DONIC Akkadi TAICHI ensures maximum spin and rotation to a level never before experienced.
This is the reason why so many of the world’s top ranked Asian players play with this black rubber on the forehand.
Due to its special black sponge the black Akkadi TAICHI is a bit harder and stiffer than the red version.
The red Akkadi TAICHI is more elastic and, thanks to its Japanese sponge, produces an even better bounce of the ball.
The black version is especially recommended for the forehand. It creates possibilities never dreamt of when serving to open the game and to produce the first top spin in the rally.

The most striking feature of this latest innovation in the classic series with short pimples from DONIC is its enormous variety.
It is very easy to play dynamic blocks and counter attacks due to the NEW FORMULA DONIC sponge with high tension.
The BAXSTER LB offers great advantages, due to its high control for returning serves as well as the possibility of adding rotation and spin by using a good technique, and generating a twist by the flick of the wrist.
The BAXSTER LB is the ideal rubber for experienced pimple players who would like to play a more variable and effective game without giving up outstanding control.

Get cracking with this loud and powerful blade!

The legendary DONIC Persson Power Carbon „Made in Sweden“ remains extremely popular. DONIC now present a further development with the EPOX and Fineline Covered System. The EPOX POWERCARBON blade has a carbon-fleece fibre layer between a Fineline outer veneer and an Ayous middle veneer. It is, therefore, even more dynamic and stiffer when compared to the EPOX Carbotec.
A high speed and aggressive blade of excellent design and outstanding quality.

Carbon-fleece fibre is more elastic than ordinary carbon fibre. This produces a lively blade with good feel despite it being stiff.
The carbon fleece fibre lies between the Kiri centre veneer and an Ayous middle veneer. This is the reason that it is somewhat softer and easier to control than the EPOX Powercarbon.

The ideal blade for attacking players who value spin and speed variation.
The new Formula DONIC rubbers such as Coppa JO Platin Soft, Sonex JP Gold or Coppa JO Silver are a perfect match for the EPOX CARBOTEC blade.
