From manufacturer:

Speed	10.0 / 10
Spin	10.0 / 10
Control	7.0 / 10
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	Yes

From community:

Speed	9.4
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	8.3
Control	6.7
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	1.3 - Slightly tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. For a topspin loop, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle. <br><br><b>Note: This rating refers to the topspin strokes only.</b> On an underspin chop, the same rubber with a high throw angle will actually produce a very low angle on a chop (it is reversed). This rubber should still be rated as high throw since the rating refers to topspin.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.2 - Medium-high
Weight	4.8 - Average
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	4.1 - Medium
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	6.7 - Above average gears
Durability	4.1 - Average durability
Consistency	8.0
Overall	8.7 4.4

Reviews of the Donic Desto F1

Unlike it's softer brothers 2 and 3, the hardness of the sponge on f1 really takes away much of the glue feel "click," although f1 does have the speed of a tensor rubber. It will load spin like a tensor but only on a full, quality stroke, much like bryce.

one of the most fun rubber to play with. This one is a looping monster. You easily get lots of power away from the table. on the down side short games and servers suffers quite a bit. but if you are looking for good exercise from looping look no further.

Hmm... Quite the interesting rubber! I put this on my Arylate-Carbon Butterfly Ishlion (MAX sponge), and it's quite the offensive fiend! It's fast and very spinny, but it lacks a lot of control and is relatively heavy. My blade is only 76g, but it feels like a ton with this rubber. But, it has great offensive potential if you can control it.

i love the tacky(little) surface of this rubber. lot of feel and speed for both close to the table and mid distance attack. good for serve as well. too bad the durability is extremely bad!

If you are just going to loop this rubber is awesome! other other hand short pushes and spiny short servers are next to impossible. But still a fun rubber to use

Cons - Holy $@!%... Wow... No durability at all, I've played with this for half a year and the edges of the WHOLE rubber is broken and teared off...

Pros - Very good speed for such a price. Spin lacks a little for a rubber, but good speed sacrifices for spin, so it's okay to assume. Control lacks a lot for this rubber. Looping and smashing is a breeze I'm sure of. Have a "CLICKY" sound to it. If you want to keep using this rubber sheet and get the best results everytime, you will have to buy it every couple of months, because this loses it's quality AND the amount of top sheet on, haha.

good speed and spin<slightly poor control>
but less spinner than baracuda.
In Thailand Baracuda is 1300 bahts<38usd>.This F1 is 1100 bahts<32usd>. I think Baracuda is the better choice.

It brakes when the rubber just slightly touch the table! There is all most no spin for serving, but there is a lots of spin when you loop the ball. It is best to combine with Donic blades; especially the hard once.

typical tensor rubber. great speed and spin away from the table. sacrifices a little in the short game (or alot, depends on whom you ask).

matched with a 5/7-ply wood blade with hinoki-top veneer blade=beautiful, but hurts the wallet a bit. I know a few die-hard F1 users, and it's still a pretty good option these days.
