The Donic Bluefire JP 01 is a premium table tennis rubber that has quickly gained a reputation for its outstanding performance among players of varying skill levels. With an impressive speed rating of 102 and a spin rating of 105, this rubber is designed to cater to aggressive and spin-oriented playing styles. The JP 01 features a unique high-tension, tensor technology that translates into explosive shots while maintaining adequate control, making it a versatile choice for offensive players who seek to dominate the table.
In terms of tackiness, the Bluefire JP 01 has a moderate rating of 2.7, which provides players with a dependable grip on the ball for executing spin-heavy serves and strokes. Its weight is rated at 5.9, placing it in the medium category, which contributes to a balanced feel during play. This combination of weight and tackiness allows for ease of maneuverability while also enabling the player to generate substantial spin.
Durability-wise, the Donic Bluefire JP 01 impresses with a rating of 7.3, ensuring that players can enjoy its playability over an extended period without significant degradation in performance. For those searching for alternatives, rubbers such as the Butterfly Tenergy series or the Nittaku Fastarc offer different playing experiences, but might lack the unique characteristics provided by the Bluefire JP 01.
Overall, with an overall performance rating of 9, the Donic Bluefire JP 01 stands out for its consistency (8.8) and gear transition (8.1), making it a top contender for players looking to enhance their game with a high-quality rubber.
I recently tried an excellent 47.5-degree rubber for the first time from Donic, and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed. I used the black MAX version on the forehand side of my all-round wood blade. My setup resulted in a weight of 47g, which was adjusted for a pen-hold grip with a slight gap for my index finger and thumb. It’s worth noting that this rubber will be slightly heavier when used on shakehand blades.
In terms of performance, I found the speed to be very similar to Rasanter R47. When executing full-arm loop kills in the style of Ma Lin, the ball flew off my bat with tremendous spin. The spin produced by this rubber exceeds that of Rakza 7, although it may be slightly less than Tenergy 05. I also found it easy to serve with high spin levels.
The rubber has a nice, grippy surface that allows you to close the bat angle and accelerate through the ball, resulting in high-quality shots. I find it interesting that this rubber has a spin rating of 9, while Rakza 7 is rated at 9.3. Using it with an all-round blade made it easy to control slower shots, such as pushes and drives. However, I’m uncertain about its effectiveness with harder or faster blades.
Overall, I am very impressed with this rubber and would recommend it 100% as an attacking medium-hard forehand option.
Average spin and good speed.
It’s a fantastic rubber for backhand use. The top sheet is extremely grippy, and even after half a year of use, the grip remains consistent. Bravo, Donic!
The sponge is medium hard, making it overall easy to control. Looping away from the table is a breeze. Blocking performance is above average, though it’s not extraordinary; some skills are required. Surprisingly, lobbing is quite good, offering a pleasant feeling and easy control.
I would definitely recommend this rubber to attacking backhand players.
