All-Wood Blades

The Butterfly Falcima is the newest 5-ply all-wood blade. The Falcima has an excellent balance of bounce and stability. This blade is designed with a moderate weight that is neither too light nor too heavy, making it easy to swing and generate power.

The Falcima is an excellent choice for people that are just starting their table tennis journey as well as those that want good speed from a maneuverable wood blade. Players that are just getting started could benefit from the feel and control of Butterfly Sapphira rubber.

Butterfly Rozena and Roundell rubber model lines provide controllable power and high levels of spin to players transitioning to their first High Tension rubber.

To add more grip to this blade, you can get the Soft Grip Tape, providing grip and comfort to the racket handle. Another great choice to extend the longevity of your racket is adding side tape to the blade, protecting the wood in the event it is hit on the table.

The PROline AW7 is JOOLA’s latest all-wood7-ply construction. As the game speeds up and players look towards carbon fiber composites, JOOLA has adjusted the 7-ply all wood blade with a bit more heaviness and stiffness – adding power where it counts.

Two blackened Kiri inner plies create a stable core unit and add overall hardness to the blade. It weighs in at 90 grams, a heavier composition that helps add acceleration into the ball contact, with a total blade thickness of 6.9mm.

Despite its added weight and stiffness, the AW7 stays true to its allwood composition, with a high arc topspin game, flexibility and a natural feeling.

DONIC Zentra sends a clear message: beginners and ambitious players should get the perfect blade in their hands right from the start – light, intuitive, and forgiving, yet with enough potential for the next level. Table tennis is all about feel, control, and fun.

Your Perfect Start into the Game, from the First Stroke to Further Development

The Zentra blades are part of a carefully designed overall concept that supports players at all levels of their development, from the very first training session to the next performance leap.

The Zentra Allround series reaches its full potential in combination with the new Desto First and Desto Next rubbers: blades and rubbers are finely matched to support your development from the first contact to targeted optimization of your game.

With Zentra, beginners don’t just start—they start right—and grow with every stroke. It is a new overall concept that guides, motivates, and inspires players – FROM ZERO TO HERO.

DONIC Zentra First Allround – The Perfect Start in the World of Table Tennis

More than just a first table tennis blade, the Zentra First Allround is the starting signal for enthusiasm. It is light, sensitive, and immediately controllable, and guides beginners, children, and young talents with reliability that builds confidence, so that every stroke becomes a moment of success.

True to its name, the Zentra Allround is the center of your game and the entry point into the DONIC blade range. It supports you in all basic techniques, provides perfect ball feeling, and enables controlled, forgiving play.

The Center of the Game – Allround for Beginners

The five-ply veneer construction gives a harmonious mix of feel and speed: a soft Kiri core for very soft, sensitive ball contact, and a Koto outer veneer for stability, precision, and the necessary speed for controlled attacking play. From the very first training session the Zentra is a reliable partner that builds trust. Ideal for:

• Learning basic techniques
• Controlled ball feeling for beginners and children
• Forgiving play in all game situations

GO-TECH Technology – Optimal Entry into Table Tennis

DONIC developed its GO-TECH technology specifically to support beginners and children optimally in learning table tennis strokes: the right equipment is used from the start – easy to play, controlled, and with maximum learning effect. Several coordinated core elements are combined in GO-TECH to make learning techniques easier and faster.

VibZone Technology – Feel and Sense the Ball

DONIC’s new VibZone technology transmits vibrations from ball contact directly and extensively from the rubber through the handle into the hand. This allows:

Very intense ball feeling through enhanced feedback 
Faster improvement of stroke technique 
Better control in demanding game situations

Feeling the ball is especially important at the beginning, and the Zentra First Allround makes this particularly easy and educational.

Lightweight, Balanced, and Child-Friendly

The weight-reducing veneer combination with Light2GO technology makes the blade particularly light and well-balanced. With the ergonomic concave handle and the ErGOHandle for kids, a specially designed grip size for children, the Zentra Allround fits comfortably in the hand, encourages quick reactions, and prevents premature fatigue.

Perfectly Matched with the New DONIC Desto Rubbers

The new Desto First rubber is the ideal choice for maximum control. Later, if you want slightly more speed and spin, you can simply upgrade to Desto Next – without losing the familiar character of the Zentra blade – so your equipment grows perfectly with your playing ability.

Conclusion – The Perfect First Allround Blade

For beginners, the DONIC Zentra First Allround is the perfect table tennis blade: light, sensitive, dynamic, and very child-friendly. It forms the center of the game, true to its name, and is ideal for training, technique exercises, and first matches.
