Donic Rackets

The DONIC Zentra Carbon – Desto Next complete table tennis bat is the perfect choice for the next development step. It is ideal for ambitious beginners and slightly advanced players who want to systematically improve their table tennis game. This perfectly balanced racket combines an allround-plus blade with spin-oriented rubbers, offering an excellent mix of speed, control, and spin – perfect for the transition from allround to modern spin-based play. 

More Power & Precision with the Zentra Next Carbon Blade

The 7-ply Zentra Next Carbon blade forms the heart of this racket. As a consistent evolution of the Zentra First Allround version, the carbon layer provides more speed, a larger sweet spot, and a more direct ball response – ideal for players who have already developed basic techniques and are ready for a small power upgrade. 

Thanks to integrated DONIC GO technology, you benefit from innovative features: 

• VibSpot Technology: Focuses vibrations for precise and clear feedback on every ball contact 
• Carbon Touch: Internal carbon fibre increases stability, power, and expands the sweet spot 
• ErGO Handle: Ergonomically shaped handle for maximum comfort and control in all playing situations 

The Next Step in Table Tennis with Desto Next Rubbers

On both sides, the Desto Next rubber (available in 1.8 mm and 2.0 mm) delivers a noticeable upgrade in performance. With a slightly harder sponge (42.5°) compared to Desto First and a spin-friendly surface with a higher arc, it enables excellent ball grip and supports the learning of modern spin techniques.

Here, too, DONIC GO technology is used as a complete system to help players develop a modern and technically clean playing style: 

• AirGO-FX Technology: porous, sensitive sponge with flexible pimples for controlled speed and fine touch 
• GO2Spin Surface: grippy top sheet for strong spin, secure ball contact, and fast learning progress 
• The purple sponge with integrated P2Ctrl technology stands for exceptional control and a highly secure playing feel on every shot 

The Desto Next is Made in Germany, representing top-quality manufacturing, modern technology, and long-lasting performance. In this price segment, it offers an outstanding combination of playing characteristics, consistency, and quality that sets new standards.
