DONIC（ドニック）

Explanation

・Blue Grip (tacky tension) 5 kinds
・Blue Storm 7 kinds
・Blue Fire 9 kinds
・Acuda Blue 4 kinds

There are 25 types of blue rubber! Among them, we will review DONIC’s new rubber, Blue Storm PRO, which was released in January 2022. Speaking of DONIC rubber, there are many rubbers that are blue. It also features a large lineup of the Blue Fire series with high spin performance, the Blue Storm series with speed performance and low trajectory, and the Blue Grip series with adhesive tension system for ease of handling and further rotation performance and habit. I think this brings the merit of being able to finely change the hardness and seat according to the skill of the player. The 2022 pamphlet does not include the Blue Fire JP series, but it does appear on the DONIC website in Japan. It may be out of print, but it seems that it is currently available. As a manufacturer, I think that it is a strategy that costs a lot for the company because it handles a lot of inventory, but I think that DONIC’s stance, which has a large lineup of hardness and sponge thickness in each series, is a user-first manufacturer. Let’s check out the hottest rubber, Blue Storm PRO, in DONIC’s latest work.

The performance of German-made rubber has improved considerably these days, and I expect that it will have the same or higher performance as the evolved Tenergy rubber. The Blue Storm PRO this time probably uses the same technology, and it seems that it has high rotation performance comparable to Tenergy.

It seems that Suzuki of Aikodai Meiden, who is a contract player of DONIC and one of the candidates for the Inter-High championship triple crown this year, also used Blue Storm PRO for a while, but now he is returning to Blue Storm Z1 Turbo. It has been done. It seems that he used blue grip rubber for a while, but he seems to be using the Blue Storm Z1 turbo in search of a habit ball that is drawn out by technology, not a habit of relying on rubber.

The information on DONIC’s homepage and pamphlets is as follows.

Professional select version.

The top sheet has been renewed, and the touch feeling, response, and spin of the ball have been greatly improved. Dynamic rubber with extraordinary ball popping out.

In addition, Suzuki’s comment posted on “Table Tennis Goods 2022” is as follows.

In 2022, “Blue Storm PRO” was used for the back in all Japan. Personally, the shot feeling is soft and the bite is good, and I have the impression that it is a rubber that emphasizes rotation rather than speed. Fore uses “Blue Storm Z1 Turbo”, but “PRO” takes rotation even if hit lightly, and it was easier to use the opponent’s ball in blocks etc. I also tried “PRO” in the foreground, but I found it a little difficult to control with my feeling and how to hit. The image of “Z1 Turbo” is that you can make a strong rotation with your own swing, and “PRO” is that you can rotate naturally without being aware of it. I think “PRO” is suitable for players who play in the front team and players who are not good at spinning themselves.

From “Table Tennis Goods 2022”

In this blog, I will review the Blue Storm PRO and compare it with the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo.

Public performance value

Let’s compare the published performance values.

It is the default that it is difficult to refer to the rubber published value of DONIC. You can see that the latest Blue Storm PRO is well-balanced, but there is also an image that the Blue Storm Z1 turbo is better in speed performance, so it is still a little difficult to refer to. Next is the comparison of katsuo000 hardness testers.

When comparing the hardness, I feel that the characteristics of rubber come out. Among DONIC’s rubbers owned by katsuo000, it is lighter than the Blue Fire M1 Turbo and weighs almost the same as the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo. The Z1 turbo was a rubber that bites in very well and feels soft, but the PRO is a little harder, isn’t it? I think it will be about the same hardness as Tenergy 05. As mentioned in the previous reputation, PRO is a rubber with great expectations if it has the same spin performance as Tenergy 05

Blue Storm PRO sticking and weight

Recently, I put it on YASAKA’s Reinforce AC because it’s an inner.

Personally, it was not too hard, not too light, and it was a rubber that could be used by a wide range of players.

Blue Storm PRO
・Sponge Thickness: 2.0 mm, MAX
・Speed： 11+
・Spin：11
・Control：5+
・Sponge stiffness: 50.0°
・7,800 yen + tax
・72 g (before cut) → 50 g (after cut) 

Three features of Blue Storm PRO

High spin performance! This is fantastic!

I felt the outstanding rotation performance among the blue rubbers so far. Blue rubber with high rotation performance is Blue Fire M1 Turbo (Blue Fire M1 Turbo) and Blue Grip C1 (Blue Grip C1), but the overwhelming difference is the good biting. While other rubbers rotate with the hardness of the sponge, Blue Storm PRO is a rubber that makes it very easy to feel that it is rotating with a strong twitch while gripping the ball with the good bite of the sponge. did. I think that strong rotation performance is a condition of good rubber, so it is highly recommended.

Although the spin performance is high, the trajectory is low!

The interesting thing about this Blue Storm PRO is that it has a high trajectory but a low trajectory! A ball with a low trajectory that is close to the grain shape of 80 or 64 series will come out! The Blue Storm Z1 Turbo was also aggressive with a similar low trajectory arc, but the Blue Storm PRO has even higher rotational performance, and I felt that it was a rubber with unprecedented characteristics! I think that it is an interesting rubber that it is aggressive but has high rotation performance. Dignix 64 and Dignix 80 also show aggressive and high rotation performance, but I think that it is also a rubber that is a little difficult to rotate because the seat is hard. I felt that this Blue Storm PRO could be described as a rubber like the Tenergy 64 with the rotational performance of the Tenergy 05. Or is it Tenergy 19 that feels similar? Of course, it bears the name of Blue Storm, so I think PRO is more aggressive than Tenergy 19.

It’s not as sticky, but it’s easy to do on the table!

Since the rotation performance is high, it is easy to do on the table! Of course, it is not as easy to stop as adhesive rubber, but I felt that I was able to stop the ball by rotating it. The seat of the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo is hard, but I also felt that it was a little easy to float, so I felt that it was ant to use PRO for ease of use on the table. The price is a little high, but I think it’s a highly recommended rubber!

Each technical review

Forehand

Light hit
It’s a 50 ° rubber, but I didn’t feel its hardness.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It was very nice to be able to hit a drive that can be applied when you want to apply rotation, and when you want to apply speed, you can apply pressure due to speed with a low trajectory. This slowness may be exactly the difference from the Blue Storm Z1 turbo. With Blue Storm PRO, I think it’s very easy to shoot a chance ball by shaking it with the amount of rotation of the drive!

Top spin (loop) drive against back spin
Even though I could hit such an aggressive drive, I was able to hit a fairly satisfying loop drive. This is highly rated!

Speed drive against back spin
The weight of the ball may be reduced, but a good ball was hit. It was good to feel the stretch like a spin tension rubber.

Curve / shoot drive
Since it has high rotation performance, it will bend considerably if you take the plunge. You will be able to hit a characteristic curve and shoot drive compared to the rubber with high speed performance so far.

Block
Compared to the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo, it is the PRO who feels that the entire rubber is soft. Therefore, PRO is a little more susceptible to the influence of the opponent’s rotation. However, because the arc line is low, there were more net mistakes than I expected. PRO is recommended if you want to rotate and stabilize the block!

Counter drive
The arc line is lower than I expected, so it was surprisingly easy to do counter drive! This was surprising!

Stop & Push
I think it can be stopped enough. I felt that it was possible to attack aggressively with a deep push.

Serve
Since the spin performance is high, I was able to give a satisfactory serve!

Backhand

Light hit
It feels soft enough so I felt it could be used in the back.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It’s very good. I felt that I could aim for the course with grip power even if I was late for swinging because I could wait for my pocket with confidence because the bite was good.

Top spin (loop) drive against back spin
It was easy to do and the rotation performance was sufficient!

Speed drive against back spin
It’s easy to bite in, so it’s easy to do! I want to use it if I don’t have Dignics!

Block
I was surprised that there were more net mistakes than I expected. It may be due to the grain shape.

Stop & push
It was easier to do than the Z1 turbo.

Chiquita
The bite is good, so I felt like I could go to Chiquita after waiting for the ball to the very limit. This is due to the good bite.

Explanation

I’d review DONIC’s 2021 Adhesive Tension Rubber, Blue Grip C1. Speaking of DONIC rubber, there are many rubbers that are named blue. It also features a large lineup of spin blue fire series, speed blue storm series, and adhesive tension blue grip series. I think this brings the merit of being able to finely change the hardness and seat according to the skill of the player. The highlight of this Fall-Winter 2021 is Blue Storm PRO, which will be the latest rubber in the Blue Storm series. I have already placed an order for Blue Storm PRO because I want to review it in the future, but the performance of German rubber has improved considerably these days, and as an evolved Tenergy rubber, it may have the same or higher performance than Tenergy. I’m expecting it. Among Japanese players, Kaede Suzuki of Aiko Dai Meiden is famous because he uses DONIC’s equipment. It seems that he used blue grip rubber for a while, but he seems to be using blue storm rubber in search of a habit ball that is drawn out by technology, not a habit of relying on rubber. Perhaps you are using the latest Blue Storm PRO. I’m looking forward to playing an active part in the All Japan Championship in January 2022.

Among such DONIC rubbers, the Blue Grip C1 reviewed on this page was released as a rubber that gives off a unique color. This Blue Grip C1 is a rubber sold at the same time as XIOM’s Omega VII China Ying, and has a sponge hardness of 60 degrees. Since the concept of the Omega VII China shadow released earlier was “rubber that exceeds the Chinese rubber leopard”, I think that this blue grip C1 is also a rubber with a strong image as a super hard German adhesive tension rubber. In fact, when compared with the hardness of the German standard, the only rubber that is so hard is Omega VII China shadow, and I think it is one of the ambitious rubbers. Looking at what has already been reviewed, I got the impression that there are many rubbers that are easier to use and have improved speed and ease of use compared to the Omega VII China shadow. How is it actually?

The explanation in Japanese of the manufacturer is as follows.

A spin rubber that is convincing to the power group.

The 60 degree bubble blue speed sponge made quite hard and the adhesive top sheet with the best rotation performance and grip feeling firmly produce a big catapult effect. It is recommended for players who use the power of fore drive as a weapon with strong adhesive rubber.

https://www.donic.jp/

Published performance value

Blue Grip C1 has the highest spin performance of 11 +++. You can also see from the published performance values that it is the latest Blue Storm PRO that is well-balanced. Next is the comparison of katsuo000 hardness testers.

After all, when you compare the hardness, the characteristics of rubber come out. Among the rubbers of DONIC owned by katsuo000, the one that is heavy and hard is Blue Grip C1. On the other hand, the Blue Fire JP01 Turbo, which went up considerably and felt easy to rotate, is the same weight as the Tenergy 05 and is a little softer. Taking the difference between the sheet side and the sponge side of the shore a hardness, the values ​​of JP01 turbo and Tenergy 05 are quite close. This is not a coincidence, and as the name JP01 suggests, JP01 was probably made with Tenergy 05 in mind. The Z1 turbo and M1 turbo still have a smaller difference than the JP01 turbo and a larger difference than the Dignics 05, so it may be said that it is an easy-to-use rubber among the German spin tensions. The difference in Blue Grip C1 is obviously small, and I think it shows how difficult it is to bite. Blue Grip C1 is quite difficult to bite into, so I think one of the evaluation axes is how easy it is to get a habit ball.

Blue Grip C1 sticking and weight

Although it is a strong adhesive, I thought that it was a rubber with a low adhesive feeling and almost a slight adhesive, which seems to be the adhesive tension made in Germany these days. Since the Kyo Leopard Dragon 5 is a racket with a wide blade area, I think it is also characteristic that it has become quite heavy. It weighs 57 g, which is a little lighter than the Omega VII China shadow, and is an obvious super heavyweight. Compared to Nittaku’s Hurricane Pro III Turbo Blue’s 65 g, I think it’s a rubber that doesn’t go that far.

・82 g (before cut) → 57 g (Hurricane Long V, 158 × 150 mm)

Three features of Blue Grip C1

To be honest, I’m getting used to the Omega VII China Ying, so I’m wondering if I can make an accurate comparison of ease of handling, but I felt that it was a rubber with outstanding hardness and rotation amount rather than a habit ball.

Compared to Omega VII China Ying, rubber from spin tension with a hardness of 60 degrees

There are many comparisons with Omega VII China Ying of the same hardness, but while Omega VII China Ying were a tacky rubber, this Blue Grip C1 was a rubber with a high cross-linking density. While it is difficult to bite in, I felt that it is a rubber that makes it easier to do meat technology than Omega VII China Ying. I felt that it was a rubber that was quite incompatible with the Hurricane Long 5, which is easy to drive. Omega VII China It is an adhesive rubber rather than a spin type tension rubber compared to a rubber that is used for adhesive habits like shadows, and I felt that it is a rubber that requires a more overwhelming amount of rotation.

Even though it’s an adhesive rubber, it bounces a lot!

Like the Omega VII China Ying, it is an adhesive rubber, but what surprised me was its speed performance. It was a large gymnasium, so I felt it was slow, but it still had outstandingly high speed performance compared to the leopard. I also felt it in the shadow of Omega VII China, but if the speed goes up to this point, it will pop out before spinning, so I also felt that the racket that should be matched naturally would be an inner carbon or wood plywood racket. No matter how much you want to fly, if you do not stay in the inner system, it will bounce too much and it will be difficult to drive with the amount of rotation, and the quality of the drive will deteriorate. There is no doubt that the racket to be matched will be a wood plywood system or an inner carbon racket.

Easy to hit down!

As I get used to the shadows of Omega VII China, I also felt the ease of hitting the downward rotation speed drive with this Blue Grip C1. However, I also felt that it was easy to get a speed drive like a smash because it is hard to feel the chewy feeling like the shadow of Omega VII China. I think this is a part that depends on skill and sense.

Each technics review

Forehand

Light hit
As for the impression of receiving the ball, I didn’t feel that it didn’t bounce like a leopard, but it felt like a normal spin tension rubber.

Drive on long balls and rallies
I think there is a part due to my own arm, but it’s not a chewy rubber, but a chewy rubber, so I felt that it was hard to bite and I just played it. It bounces firmly, so I thought it would be a rubber that would be easy to meet even if it was attached to the Hurricane Long V. However, I also felt that the taste and habit of driving was hard to come out. It may mean to use it like a spin type tension rubber, but it is heavy and not as fast as a spin type tension rubber, so I think that I still want to drive.

Drive with open face
I felt that the good thing about this rubber is that even if you hit it fairly roughly, the drive will enter. I didn’t feel that it was spinning, but there may be a feeling that the speed drive will come in due to the impact.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
Since it is a combination of Hurricane Long V and hard rubber, it was easy to hit a strong loop drive with strong rotation even if it was not adhesive rubber. Since the whole rubber is hard, the seat is not so hard, but I felt that it was good to pop out. The recent German-made adhesive tension rubber has a good pop-out, so I think that it will be a low loop drive as much as aiming at the net.

Speed drive against back spin
It was easy to hit. However, I felt that the amount of rotation was low. I felt that it is easier to use adhesive and adhesive tension rubber than spin tension rubber because the ball sinks enough to make a speed drive even if the hit point is dropped, so there is no need to move in a hurry. I’m a habit, and when I try to hit a speed drive, I use my body like a smash, so I’d like to fix the center of gravity a little more and hit it by turning the torso, but I’m glad that it was easy to enter even if it was rough.

Curve / shoot drive
I felt it would bend a lot, probably thanks to the Hurricane Long 5. I don’t think outer carbon will bend this far.

Block
The block was easy. The ball doesn’t fall. This may be a good point of the recent German adhesive tension. I think Hurricane and the like will fall. In the case of a leopard, I think it will be hit as if it were raised.

Counter drive
It was easy to do. If it is so heavy, it will not eat the rotation of the opponent’s drive, so it feels like you can take it forcibly.

Stop
It will stop firmly. It’s an adhesive rubber, so it’s a problem if you don’t stop.

Push
I didn’t feel like I was cutting the fore because I wasn’t good at cutting it.

Serve
It cut firmly.

Explanation

DONIC is a slightly minor manufacturer in Japan, but Swedish genius Jan-Ove Waldner, Jorgen Persson, and until last year, Dimitrij Ovtcharov. It will be the manufacturer that the player has contracted. Ovcharov is a close friend and rival of Jun Mizutani! Recently, I imagine that it is a manufacturer that has been picked up by You Tuber “Goblinzu” in Kansai and is receiving a lot of attention. Goblin’s recommendation seems to be the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo.　DONIC with the name Blue

・ 5 types of Blue Grip (adhesive rubber)
・ 7 types of Blue Storm
・ 9 types of Blue Fire
・ 4 types of Acuda Blue

Yu-san of the World Table Tennis Kingdom also has multiple types, so I have listed a video that outlines it.

The blue fire that I tried this time will be a rotating rubber. It seems that the speed rubber will be Blue Storm, and the stable rubber will be Acousticable. I have already given a trial hit review of the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo.

The blue rubber last will be Blue FIre JP01 Turbo. It’s a rubber that I bought a long time ago and used a little to put a TSP adhesive sheet on it. I had the impression that it was a rubber that bites well and is very easy to handle, but this time I put it on my main racket again and tried it out, so thank you.

Published performance value

You can see that the JP01 turbo is the slowest in terms of the announced performance. When it comes to speed, I imagine it’s a rotating rubber. DONIC’s explanation is as follows.

The power of "blue" to bring out more.
    Power-up of "Blue Fire JP01", a state-of-the-art FD rubber that brings together DONIC's technology. The special "Blue Fire JP01 Turbo" has been completed by improving the top sheet of "Blue Fire JP", which has a good reputation for its rotational power during attacks, and raising the two major elements of rubber, speed and spin, to the utmost limit.
Suppresses the transmission energy loss of the swing when hitting the ball, and gives the player a power ball that adds weight to the power of the ball with speed + spin. Since it is a top sheet with high grip, you can continue to attack as much as you want without compromising the sense of security that you have with your hands.

From this explanation, I think it is difficult to understand what kind of rubber it is. In fact, the Blue Fire JP01 turbo was a rotating rubber with the highest arc.

JP01 turbo sticking and weight

Blue Fire JP01 Turbo
・Sponge Thickness: 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, MAX+
・Speed: 10+
・Spin: 10+++
・Control: 6+
・Sponge stiffness: 47.5°
・Open price
・48 g (after cut)

The hardness of the sponge was not too hard, and it was a rubber that could be used by a wide range of players.

Blue Fire JP01 Turboの3つのThree features of Blue Fire JP01 Turbo

The highest arch line in blue!

The arch line was high in the blue rubber anyway! I felt that the arch line was too high and the flight distance was quite long. Therefore, I think the ball will go in quite deeply. The height of this arc line made me feel that I was conscious of JP → Tenergy 05. I think Vega Japan of XIOM also has a high arc line, but Blue Fire JP01 also made me feel the height of the arc line.

The most downward rotation drive in blue is easy to do!

Since the arch line is high, it was easy to drive downward rotation anyway. I didn’t feel like making a mistake. It was pretty easy to do with a backhand drive. Also, if you let it bite firmly and the swing speed is fast, it also took a firm rotation. It’s easy to handle and I felt it was perfect for both the fore and back.

Although it is a rotating rubber, it is not easily affected by rotation!

Spin tension rubber is easily affected by the rotation of the other party, but this Blue Fire JP01 turbo was not affected by rotation more than I imagined, probably because the seat has a core! It was similar to the Blue Fire M1 Turbo. Not only was the block easy to do, but the counter drive was also pretty easy to do! It felt pretty good! Tenergy rubber has high rotation performance, but there are some parts that are easily affected by rotation. In recent years, katsuo000 has been looking for a rubber that has high rotation performance and is not affected by rotation. I thought it would be possible to evaluate it in the same way as Dignics, which has similar characteristics! However, compared to Dignics, the amount of rotation and speed performance were clearly lower.

Forehand

Light hit
I felt it was soft. There was a sense of stability rather than power.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It’s not as powerful as Tenergy 05 FX, but it was easy to hit repeatedly.

Drive with open face
I felt it hit the racket board when I let it bite into it. I think Tenergy 05 is easier to do here.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
It was easy to do anyway! I felt that top spin drive was a little lacking in power because it had a good bite. Still, it’s pretty easy to do.

Speed drive against back spin
It was easy to do because it bites well. I think it is better to be aware of the arc line because it is easy to over-miss.

Curve / shoot drive
Since there is a certain amount of rotation, it will bend as you wish.

Block
It was easy to do! It was surprising, but it was easy to do because it was not affected by rotation even though it was a rotating rubber.

Counter drive
I felt that this was also easy to do because it was not easily affected by spin!

Stop
It was difficult to cut. It was also easy to float.

Push
Push also had quite a few over mistakes. It wasn’t difficult to do.

Serve
Serve didn’t feel heavy. If anything, I think it’s easier to take the opponent’s time with a long-legged serve.

Backhand

Light hit
The hardness was just right for the back.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It was easy to over-miss if I hit it thickly to speed up. It was easy to drive deeply when I turned it firmly.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
This was also easy to do. It wasn’t powerful, but I didn’t feel like making a mistake and it was a good impression.

Speed drive against back spin
It seemed like I could do it after practicing moderately.

Block
It was easy to do!

Counter drive
I can hardly do counter drive in the back, but I felt like I could remember counter drive with this rubber.

Stop
It was a little easy to float.

Push
I can’t cut it.

Chiquita
Chiquita was pretty easy to do because the arch line was high.

　DONIC with the name Blue

・ 7 types of Blue Storm
・ 9 types of Blue Fire
・ 4 types of Acuda Blue

Yu-san of the World Table Tennis Kingdom also has multiple types, so I have listed a video that outlines it.

The blue fire that I tried this time will be a rotating rubber. It seems that the speed rubber will be Bluestorm, and the stable rubber will be Acousticable. I have already mentioned the trial hit review of the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo, but the rubber that katsuo000 likes the most among the blue rubbers is this Blue Fire M1 Turbo. !! Let’s start the review immediately.

Published performance value

To be honest, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use the Blue Fire M1 Turbo from the announced performance. Blue Grip is better for rotation performance, and Blue Storm is better for speed performance. In addition, in the manufacturer’s explanation, it is written as follows.

Innovative DONIC. Because it is "blue", it comes out.
    The "Blue Fire M1 Turbo" that uses a 50 degree hard sponge is a rubber that breaks through the opponent's wall by further amplifying the power of the attacking player who uses smash and blow power drive as the score source. It is the best blue fire to send to the one-shot deadly power hitter.

After reading this explanation, I was able to imagine that it was a spin-type tension rubber that was hard and had rotational performance. In fact, the Blue Fire M1 Turbo was a heavier and much harder rubber than the Blue Fire JP01 Turbo and Blue Storm Z1 Turbo. Similar rubbers from other manufacturers include Tenergy 05 Hard, Rhyzer Pro 50, Evolution MX-P, Omega VII Pro, etc. I think you can give it.

Blue Fire M1 turbo sticking and weight

Blue Fire M1 Turbo
・Sponge Thickness: 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, MAX+
・Speed: 10++
・Spin: 10+++
・Control: 6
・Sponge stiffness: 50°
・Open price
・73 g (before cut) → 53 g (after cut)

It’s heavy. Compared to other Blue Fire JP01 turbos and Blue Storm Z1 turbos, it is overwhelmingly heavy at this point. Both the JP01 turbo and the Brust Z1 turbo weighed less than 50 g.

Three features of Blue Fire M1 Turbo

To be honest, I didn’t feel the same rotation performance as the Blue Storm Z1 Turbo! Overwhelmingly, the Blue Fire M1 Turbo hit a ball with a higher amount of rotation!

The hardest and most rotating rubber in blue! The weight of the drive is also No. 1 in blue!

Serve, push, Drive, Chiquita and rotating technology were able to hold the ball firmly, and it was very nice to have a sense of stability and power with the arc line as imagined when it was rotated! The katsuo000 likes the spin-type tension rubber, which is hard and often rotates, but the Blue Fire M1 turbo was a very good feeling. I think the rubbers that I think are similar are Tenergy 05 Hard, Riser Pro 50, Evolution MX-P 50 ° (Evolution MX-P 50 °), etc. Also, the weight of the drive of the Blue Fire M1 Turbo was heavyweight! For example, the loop drive of the Blue Storm Z1 turbo had a low arc line, but it was easy to eat the counter when it floated a little, but the Blue Fire M turbo was able to induce a considerable over-miss of the counter depending on the amount of rotation.

Even though it is hard, it is easy to handle even in the back!

The rubber with DONIC’s blue name was a very easy-to-use rubber with no strange habits as a whole. Therefore, it felt good when used in the back, and it was easy to use high-quality loop drive and speed-type chiquita. I think there are some differences due to the heat and individual differences, but one of the characteristics of DONIC’s rubber is that it has few habits and is easy to handle, so I felt it was a good feeling. The blue fire M1 turbo has a hard sponge, and I want more speed than rotation! If so, I recommend the soft Blue Fire M1 and M2, and the Blue Fire JP01 with a high arch line, and with the Blue Storm Z1, I think that the ball can be released quickly and a fast drive is easy to hit and stable.

It is not easily affected by rotation! You can also go to the counter power drive! ??

Spin tension rubber is easily affected by the rotation of the other party, but this Blue Fire M1 turbo was not affected by rotation more than I imagined, probably because the sponge is hard and the seat has a core! Not only was the block easy to do, but the counter drive was also pretty easy to do! It felt pretty good! Tenergy rubber has high rotation performance, but there are some parts that are easily affected by rotation. In recent years, katsuo000 has been looking for a rubber that has high rotation performance and is not affected by rotation. I thought it would be possible to evaluate it in the same way as Dignics, which has similar characteristics! However, when compared with Dignics, I felt that the amount of rotation and speed performance were low. Still, for katsuo000, it was a rubber that I wanted to use in the game more than Tenergy!

It was very easy to hit. I was able to grip the ball firmly and it was easy to hit. I think it is a sheet that often holds 05 series balls.

Drive with open face
I felt that it hit the racket board a little faster. I felt the same way with Evolution MX-P. Monster rubber and Tenergy have little or no feeling of hitting the racket board. I feel that Tenergy is very high performance in a drive with an open surface or a drive that rotates while hitting.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin
Since the sponge is hard, it was easy to do top spin drive that can be caught only by the sheet, and it was really easy to do topspin loop drive. This is a weapon!

Speed drive against back spin
It was a little difficult to speed drive because it was easy to do loop drive. When I let it bite in, I felt that it reached the racket board earlier than I felt, and I played it, and the amount of rotation did not come out more than I expected. I think I can hit it if I get used to it, but I felt that it needed to be corrected.

Curve / shoot drive
Since there is a certain amount of rotation, it will bend as you wish.

Block
It was easy to do! It was surprising, but it was easy to do because it was not affected by rotation even though it was a rotating rubber.

Counter drive
I felt that this was also easy to do because it was not easily affected by rotation!

Stop
It was a little difficult to cut, I got a good enough low quality stop.

Push
Push is also low and easy to settle.

Serve
It was a good feeling to have a heavy serve. However, if the rubber deteriorated, it seemed to become lighter.

Backhand

Light hit
The back is a little hard to hit.

Drive on long balls and rallies
It was easier than I expected. I think it’s because the ball doesn’t come off quickly and the ball has a good hold. I think that it is easy to do because it is very stable because it can be rotated firmly.

Loop (top spin) drive against back spin　
This was also easy to do. In addition, I think that it was a loop drive that can aim for a score with abundant rotation amount.

Speed drive against back spin
On the contrary, this was quite difficult. You need practice.

Curve / shoot drive
It was bent to some extent because of the amount of rotation.

Block
It was easy to do!

Counter drive
I can hardly do counter drive in the back, but I felt like trying this rubber. Actually, I was surprised to get one or two balls when I was practicing the system!

Stop
It was a good impression to be able to put it in at the minimum low. I think it’s good to bite in the hot summer season, but I think it’s good that it’s low and easy to hold.

Push
It was difficult to cut, but it was easy to do low and short Tsuttsuki like Tenergy 05 Hard.

Chiquita
Both speed chiquita and horizontal rotation chiquita were easy to do as you imagined! There was a sense of stability because it took a lot of rotation.
