Donic Acuda Blue P1 Turbo

Very underrated rubber. I don’t see how a rubber could be any more well-balanced.

It’s very spinny and fast on loops, fast and direct on drives, and consistent. It has a lot of gears— the short game is consistent and low as the catapult isn’t strong on light touches. The problem is though that you have to swing a bit hard to get a super duper pop because I feel like it’s designed to keep it in play and stay controlled.

However, when you do use your body, swing hard, and use proper technique, it rewards you greatly.

Durability is fantastic-- I’ve had it for months and haven’t noticed any changes in performance.

I use this rubber for backhand. It’s very amazing. Combined with Andro Rasant on forehand and using a Primorac Carbon blade, my attacks are all-out.

On the other hand, controlling backspin from opponents is also easy for me. Before, I used Donic Senso Carbon, but after using Primorac with Donic Acuda P1 Turbo, I have more options for my shots, including backspin, drive, or loopspin. All of them are very easy to execute.

Not for beginners.

I waited a long time to buy this set of rubbers. I love the Acids Blue series. They are grippy and fast. The turbo version still maintains a good level of control and a very decent level of spin.

I play an offensive style game but focus on spinny serves, deception, and looping, both backhand and forehand attacks down the line. I like to alternate speed to throw my opponents timing off and occasionally chop if I think of it or see the opportunity. Acuda Blue P1 Turbo does it all for me. Great rubber.

I’ve been using P1 Turbo for the last few months on my RPB backhand. It’s very explosive, super fast, has lots of spin, and a lot of control too.

Comparing it with normal P1, it’s harder, has more speed, and a little bit less control. But after playing with both P1s in backhand, the normal version is the better choice for me for two reasons: it has a higher throw (better for looping counter-topspin), and I like its softness (plays like a 45°; P1 Turbo is more like 47°) for the back.

All in all, it’s a great rubber.

I think this rubber is only suited for backhand shots. Its softness favours smash and loop techniques. Topspin techniques are less effective.

Very good rubber for attacking players with the new plastic balls 40+. It gives a heavy spin on serving and pushing, and also on topspin. The sponge is hard, but the topsheet is soft and elastic, so you feel you are playing with a rubber of 45°.

Drives and counter-topspin are amazing, and the trajectory of the topspin is wonderful. Especially on fast topspin, the ball seems to go out of the table and then immediately goes down at the end of the table, making it hard for the opponent to make a good block.

I suggest this rubber so much!

Foarte bun în varianta de 2,2 mm. Buretele este foarte puternic, putând suferi lovituri de la orice distanță cu orice viteză.

Previously using Acuda P2, the P1 Turbo is noticeably heavier. 2.0mm sheets were 68g uncut. The sponge is harder, but not excessively. There is a much more pronounced catapult effect that results in more power and speed, but does make it a bit more difficult to control. The spin is about the same as the P2, maybe a tiny bit more.

Looping with this rubber feels very secure, like a perfect balance between speed/spin and control. The only drawback is its weight, which I wish was a little lighter.

Good rubber, but in my opinion, it is overrated regarding speed and spin and underrated regarding control.

It has a very nice feeling of gripping the ball, especially when you engage the sponge (a little muted when you don’t), but it’s kind of a false feeling. The spin is not that high, and there is kind of a limit in the amount of spin you can generate. The same happens with speed, so it lacks speed and spin top gears. It’s less than linear, really.

But maybe because of that, it’s a very safe rubber. I use it on the backhand, and I can swing very hard with a lot of confidence. The throw angle is medium-high and higher the harder you swing, so the ball makes a very pronounced arc and lands on the table in the last moment, but the real spin is not as high as it seems to be.

It has a nice short game and blocking, and serving is quite good too. It’s not very heavy and has a medium feeling, not hard at all.

It’s a very nice backhand rubber, but not for forehand IMO.

Mi temor al poner este caucho era su dureza de 50°, pero en el juego se siente como 45°.

Un caucho fácil de manejar a media distancia, que entrega alta velocidad, elevado efecto y control.

Sin duda uno de los mejores cauchos del momento para la nueva bola plástica 40+.
