Donic Bluefire M2, a Table Tennis rubber with great spin and speed

Bluefire M2 giving Tenergy great competition! Now available with us at lowest price (rate)!
Waldner, Ovtcharov, Persson, and Baum have played with Donic equipment. Now here is a great rubber with more qualities!

The blue miracle. The new DONIC Bluefire is a completely new rubber development offering top speed and spin as a result of the perfect combination of the large pored blue sponge with an extremely spinny top surface rubber. Bluefire M2 has a medium hard sponge which results in excellent balance between speed, catapult effect and feeling. Recommended for offensive players that like to play with a slightly softer rubber with a lot of spin and still fast.
