Rackets
Complete table tennis rackets, ready to play out of the box — no gluing and no choosing rubbers.
Two genuinely different things sit here, and it is worth knowing which you are buying. A factory pre-made bat is a single sealed product: the rubbers are part of it and are not intended to be replaced, which is what keeps it simple and affordable. A pro setup is a real blade with real rubbers glued to it — the same components sold separately, put together for you. The second can be re-rubbered indefinitely and the blade outlives several sets of sheets; the first is a bat you replace whole.
Buy for the player, not the specification sheet. A beginner bat uses a slower sponge and a more forgiving surface, which is exactly what somebody learning to keep the ball on the table needs; a faster bat makes that harder, not easier. Rackets built for competition assume a stroke that is already there. Our racket selection guide places every racket and set we carry by the player its maker says it is for, brand by brand.
If you already know which blade and rubbers you want, buy them apart instead — the blades and rubbers collections are where a custom racket starts. For a first table at home, a set that pairs bats, balls and a net is usually better value.

• 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

GO TECHNOLOGY – An Innovative DONIC System for Learning Techniques Quickly
GO technology is an innovative DONIC system that helps beginners, recreational players, and children learn table tennis techniques more quickly and effectively. Several coordinated core technologies, used in both the blade and rubbers, are combined so that proper stroke technique and consistent ball control are easier to develop.
ALLROUND TABLE TENNIS BLADE – Light, Balanced & Soft Feeling
Lightweight, ergonomically shaped, and highly controlled: that is the ZENTRA FIRST ALLROUND blade. A soft Kiri core in its five-ply construction gives a soft and very feel-oriented ball contact, and the Koto outer veneer ensures stability, precision, and appropriate speed.
GO-TECH – Innovation for ZENTRA F1RST ALL
Integrated VibZone technology transfers vibrations from ball contact through the blade into the handle, which enhances feedback and helps players improve their technique and ball feel more quickly. Light2GO technology keeps the blade especially light and well balanced, and the ergonomically shaped concave ERGO handle supports a natural grip position for fast reactions, intensive training, and fatigue-free learning.
For children, the GO-TECH concept also offers an ErGO-HANDLE-KIDS version with a shorter handle and smaller blade, specially designed for small hands.
DESTO F1RST – High Performance Made in Germany
Both sides of the bat carry DONIC DESTO FIRST rubbers, which provide excellent control, dynamic ball feel, and strong spin development. Sponge thickness options of 1.8 mm and 2.0 mm let players choose the ideal balance between control and speed.
GO-TECH – More Feedback – Fewer Errors – More Fun!
AirGO-FX technology combines a porous 37.5° control sponge with flexible pimples: ball impact is soft and controlled, with clear feedback, while sufficient speed is still maintained.
