Donic Vario - An allround table tennis rubber

The Donic Vario - A universal rubber with many facets

The Donic Vario is a real allrounder among table tennis rubbers. The word "Vario" is usually referred to as diverse or varying when using the lexicon. And this is what describes this model best. Below we will see why this is the case.

The meanings of the word "Vario" can be perfectly projected onto the gaming styles and strategies this rubber is able to cover. Prior to the prohibition of speed-gluing, this rubber was advertized with an outstanding spin-elasticity and speed. Depending on the chosen sponge thickness (the thinner, the slower; the thicker the faster), nowadays, this rubber can be used for almost any tactic.

This rubber stands for good control and flexibility. With this rubber, Donic was able to unite and combine speed, control, and the possibility to induce an aggressive backspin.

Please consider the sponge thickness when choosing! In summary, the main recommendations are: 1.2 and 1.5 mm: Allround (ALL). 1.8 mm - max: Allround plus (ALL+) to Offensive minus (OFF-).

This rubber series is no longer quite as common as it was the case in the past. This is because most offensive players exclusively trust on the technology of an integrated speed-gluing effect. The Donic Vario product series, however, is definitely worth a recommendation for beginners, and in terms of a variable allround game. Below you can find the main differences between the models.
