From First to Next – the next step in table tennis With the DONIC DESTO NEXT, you take the natural step after the Desto First. The slightly harder sponge (42.5°) ensures a more precise, direct game and helps you develop a spin-oriented playing style.

Together, they provide the perfect foundation to make the transition from allround play to modern, spin-oriented table tennis especially easy. With Desto Next, you develop the coordination of arm, wrist, and stroke angle, taking your game to a completely new level.
