Donic Bluefire, spin, speed, control and more

Donic seems to have introduced a winner in the Bluefire series (M1, M2, M3). The rubbers boast extraordinary amounts of spin, and have great control. Speed is very good, but that is not their forte. A very balanced series of rubbers, Bluefire can be very effectively used for middle to slightly far from the table play. The rubber is ideal for both backhand and forehand.

Priced lesser than the Tenergy, Bluefire rubbers are definitely great value for money. An ambitious club level player (USATT rating 1600-2300) can easily adapt from Tenergy since Donic has spent valuable and careful time to research and bring out this rubber. Similarly, for a player above USATT rating of 2300, it is a simple move without major adapting required.

For someone who has money to spare but not a high playing strength, one can still go for this rubber, especially if one is used to the earlier Donic series (Coppa JO Gold, Coppa JO Platin, Sonex JP Gold)

Donic Sonex JP Gold review

Donic Sonex JP Gold is one of the all time great rubber of choice for many players, both professional and club players. It has extra ordinary control and is especially good for counter hitting and blocking. When players first move from traditional rubbers such as Yasaka Mark V or Butterfly Sriver, Donic Sonex JP Gold is an amazingly good rubber to switch to as a top choice.

Service returns are easy with this rubber due to the small amount of effort that is required to just direct the most spinniest of balls. On the other side, Sonex itself allows one to serve well. All in all, it is a great rubber mainly for the mid range to close to table playing style, but can be adapted to serve the experienced far table players too.
