Donic BlueFire M2 and M3 review

I have used the M1 in Max and I really liked it but the weight was a bit too heavy (not really a problem) but the shrinkage was phenomenal. Just wondering about M2 and how much I may loose in in the all out drive department and I really do not want a mushy feeling rubber.

Yes it is and thanks a lot.

for close to table play even M1 feels soft compared to hexer hd or vega pro or chinese rubbers... or even baracuda.

nah!! ... after some time the racket makes the player play the game that it is good for.

+1. In doubles tonight I was giving very little away with service, service return and pushes in general. I was able to kee pushes short and/orspinny making it very hard for our opponents to open the game. Not sure what my sig says ATM but thats M3 max both sides on Aratox.

Not sure, however petermoo swears that the black S1 regular is much spinnier than the red. Maybe that may translate to the the Turbo version as well as the M1. I have a trick (works for me anyway), these new generation rubbers and in particular the Acuda S1 Turbo, I will glue it up and attach to blade and cut then play with it for about 2 days (can use a robot). I then take it off and put it aside for a couple of weeks (It is like aging wine/rubber) and reglue and attach back to the blade. Trust me it is a completely different animal after most of the tuning as dissipated. 

carryboy .... I absolutely agree with you !!!

For me yes on some of these new generation tensors. There is an enormous amount of the tuning stuff that they use that even the top sheet feels slick. These rubbers are fast wild out of the pack, like a wild card "unpredictable"

i differ here with carryboy .... i think the tuning goes off even if you keep it pasted on the blade. may be at a slower pace due to less surface area exposed to air.

Hey debraj,

I just noticed your sig...............

After day 1 of play with old 05 one side and m2 the other against players day 2 I got m2 both sides.

Very interesting indeed.  I think I will also have to get a sheet of the M2.
