DONIC DESTO F3 BigSlam The sound of speed gluing has been captured in F3 BigSlam rubbers: F3 BigSlam generates a loud crack when you hit the ball! This is the loudest DESTO FORMULA rubber that DONIC has ever produced. DONIC DESTO F3 BigSlam reproduces the loud sound that you got during the classic times of speed gluing. However, this rubber does not require speed glue and must not be speed glued! The distinctive sound has been firmly and permanently incorporated into the rubber. BigSlam is somewhat softer, but not significantly slower than its successful sibling DESTO F3. It has the same amazingly simple ball control, but gives the same effect as optimum speed glue. Whether you prefer DESTO F3 or DESTO F3 BigSlam is a matter of taste-or, should we say, of sound preference. DONIC DESTO F3 BigSlam is recommended for players who have previously used speed glue and for those who value sound and outstanding ball control qualities rather than maximum speed. BigSlam will be a popular choice once speed glue is banned.
big slam is a fantastic rubber! it creates a really relaly nice sound when you hit or loop the ball, one of the loudest rubbers i have ever heard! to me, it felt like a very soft rubber that had really really good control. When you block with it, you can really feel the ball dig into the paddle. for looping, its good for getting the job done, but the speed and spin is a bit lacking in my opinion. This rubber is definitely for the players who play a game moer with control rather tahn power. the prevailing characteristic is the control that you can hear and feel when you contact the ball, which i think makes it good rubber!

Fantastic feeling (if you are not too far from the ball)- perfect rubber for allround/offensive players who REALLY ENJOY the game of table tennis. Just a little bit too slow if you want to finish with the fast topspin.
The donic desto f3 big slam rubber is a tensor rubber that is relatively soft and very elastic. It is a rubber for those players who prefer maximum spin and control rather than speed in an offensive rubber. The rubber is not terribly fast, but it is fast enough to loop some good balls. But the loops are not very fast, so do not expect loops like that of tenergy or bryce speed. The spin is great though. It is very good for counterlooping, because the spin and control are both fantastic, so you can be consistent and deadly in your counterloops. It can be a little hard to control the spin when you block.
