Donic Bluefire M2

I use it 2.0 thickness on backhand. It has a 45 degrees sponge and a medium-hard topsheet. This rubber is special because it provides feeling, dwell, and enough power to finish the point. On backhand, it is crucial to have both feeling and power, especially if you use your backhand for attacking.

Given the very high throw, opening against backspin is easy. However, you must be careful when pushing, as the ball can easily go long. Additionally, your bat angle is critical when topspinning.

Once you have mastered the rubber, M2 is one of the best rubbers for backhand.

UPDATE: I had to switch to another rubber on BH. The high arc was causing me trouble in controlling passive shots. I frequently went long on pushes and blocks.

Not very controlled as Catapult is huge and spin is average. You can’t hit it very hard as the rubber bottoms out quite early.

The rubber shrinks significantly when you reglue it. It offers great speed and decent spin. As the balanced version of the Bluefire series, it is not excessively fast or spinny. I cannot comment on its durability as I have only recently acquired it for both sides of my Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro blade. It may take some time to control its speed if you are not accustomed to fast rubbers.

No he visto muchas reseñas en español, así que aquí va una:

¡Esta goma es de las mejores que he probado! Retorné al tenis de mesa después de muchos años y esta goma me ayudó muchísimo.

Al comienzo es un poco difícil de controlar por la alta velocidad que brinda, pero una vez que le agarras el hilo, no hay quien te pare: topspins rapidísimos, con mucho efecto y difíciles de responder.

La estoy usando como forehand en una madera Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive, junto a una Andro Hexer Powergrip en el backhand.

No se dejen engañar por la dureza de su esponja. En medianas y largas distancias, este jebe es buenísimo. Muy pocas bolas se quedan en la red.

Recomendada al 100% para personas que ya tienen un conocimiento básico de los golpes y técnicas. Si recién empiezas, esta goma no es para ti.

Very high throw rubber, medium-soft sponge (42.5), medium-hard topsheet. It produces very spinny loops. Its strength lies in fh counterlooping: you can close your eyes and counterloop, and it will always land.

However, the drawback is that it’s very hard to powerloop against backspin. This is the rubber’s weakness. Essentially, you can only brush loop against backspin; if you try to powerloop, it will either go to the net or off the table. This is probably because the sponge is too soft. M1 does not have this problem. A rubber similar to M2 in hardness but without this issue is EL-P. Therefore, I would avoid using M2 on the forehand.

It is also very hard to block with this rubber due to the very high throw. You need to have a very closed blade angle, and your block will have a high arc.

Opening up with this rubber is so strong, but you have to be perfect with your angle, otherwise you’d put the ball in the orbit. Smashing like thunder, spins like T05, and the control is excellent if your rating is above 1800. Pushing makes a lot of problems for your opponents. Looping is so easy.

WOW!

Tested on a Viscaria blade with 2.0 thickness on both sides, this rubber is almost as spinny as Tenergy 05 but more linear, resulting in more control (for my playstyle). The sound of this rubber on the Viscaria blade is absolutely astonishing! It makes you want to hit even harder to make it even louder.

As an all-around rubber, it is a must-try for intermediate players. It won’t let you down. When my T05 sheets wear out, I’ll definitely buy these.

Donic Bluefire M2 2.0 mm

This rubber features a porous blue sponge that provides a high catapult effect, causing the ball to sink into it. The 2.0 mm thickness enhances controllability, allowing the characteristics of the blade to shine through. It is ideal for backhand play, offering exceptional spin, arc, and blocking capabilities, making every backhand shot effortless.

Budget-Friendly Alternative

For those on a limited budget, the Palio AK47 Blue offers a similar playing experience to the Bluefire M2 2.0 mm. It provides excellent spin and control for a fraction of the cost.

Conclusion

Enjoy the enhanced performance and control of the Donic Bluefire M2 2.0 mm, or save money with the affordable Palio AK47 Blue without compromising on playing quality.

I prefer Copa rubber with more natural sponges.

12/12/2017-
Tried the red rubber (FH) on Stiga Offensive Classic. I must say it loops magically, very good arc and spin, and has brilliant control. A looper’s dream rubber. No lightning fast, but decent speed. I felt serves were the strongest point when I used it. I could serve very spinny and short, occasional fast serve resulted in an ace (so not a slow rubber).

Update 17 Nov, 2019:
Very good + durable. Great pushes (too spinny and low), chops, blocks, serves - now using on Force Pro-Black: good match.

This rubber continues to amaze me even after 6 months of continuous use. SPIN is very good, comparable to Tenergy 05. Speed is good at 9/10, but control is exceptional at 10/10. Just brushing or looping easily clears the net due to its high throw when compared to Tibhar Mx-p.

I feel this rubber did not get its due recognition. It is almost comparable to Tenergy or Tibhar Mxp, but with greater control. I am also surprised by its durability.

Tons and tons of reviews about this rubber, but one thing is for sure: this is one of the highest quality products you can get for its price, easily competing with Tenergy 05.

It’s really fast, but not too fast - just the right amount. The top sheet isn’t too tacky, but isn’t completely dry either. It’s the best balance between the two.

Control is legendary at this speed. It’s a bit sensitive to incoming spin, but with enough feeling and training, you can master its little secrets.

The only difference between the Bluefire series is the sponge hardness. M1 has the hardest sponge, M3 the softest. M2 is the best balance between speed and control, and I would use it on both forehand and backhand.

Slower and softer than M1. Excellent for counter hits and blocking. Reasonably good for opening attacks.

Very solid rubber for my backhand.

It is good for all types of strokes: short play, chopping, smashing, blocking, topspin, and flipping.

The price is fair for the quality of the rubber.

Blade: Donic Waldner Senso Carbon
FH: XIOM Vega Pro (MAX)
BH: Donic Bluefire M2 (2.0)
Preferred playstyle: half distance Looper (mainly FH wing)

Switched from an Andro Impuls Powersponge (2.0) due to insufficient drive when operating at half distance. Backhand looping with the M2 feels like I’m 100% in control because it allows me to play all the top spin variations I like. The naturally high throw arc also allows for seemingly unimpressive medium-rise balls with lots of spin, yet I feel like I can pinpoint every shot regardless of incoming rotation.

Since I’m a bit impatient I often return a serve on my backhand with a flip/loop which works pretty good with this rubber. Chopping and overall defensive play is alright but there are definitely better rubbers for that kind of game. Stick to the loop!

The blue sponge is only a gimmick of course, and doesn’t serve any real purpose other than to lure people in with an exotic colour.

I have been using this rubber as my backhand for the past two and a half months on my Butterfly Primorac Carbon blade. As mentioned in the ratings, this rubber isn’t very tacky, making it less sensitive against incoming spin and easier to control. However, it still produces a lot of spin on my strokes, which I think might be because of its soft sponge.

Flicks are super easy with this rubber, generating a lot of spin. After 8 to 10 hours of practice every week for two months, it’s still as new as the first day. Just clean the rubber after every session, and it will last long.

This rubber can also be considered a good forehand rubber since it can generate a lot of spin, although the speed isn’t too high. Anyone who likes to play close to mid-distance and controlled spinny shots will find this rubber a good fit.

An excellent rubber, which is my current favourite for both forehand and backhand. It is very close to a Tenergy 80 and 05. The speed is about equal to the 05, and the spin is between 80 and 05.

This rubber is fast, but the topsheet made it difficult for me to generate spin. For players who prefer distance play, this rubber is suitable as minimal effort is required to return the ball from afar. However, it is a heavy rubber, so I would not recommend it for those who prefer a lighter setup.

Excellent rubber.

Very elastic sponge, with large pores.

Very fast and very spinny. Due to its springiness, it’s hard to control on short games.

My sheet should have around 60 hours… looks like worn-off in the center, but the spin is still there.

IMO, one of the best rubbers for its price.

Oh, I heard black sheets play better than red ones. I have a black M2 and a red M3. I can tell the black one is grippier, just that.

This is my third forehand rubber. It’s absolutely superb in terms of spin and speed. My game demands a bit of speed (still playing with the old Carbon Butterfly Gergely), which is very stiff and hard, hence I generally go back from the table and play a very open game. My backhand is STIGA Radical, hence it’s a jab and loop game.

It works wonderfully well, especially if you have good wrist action, hence I’ve been very successful in the local TT spectrum. I’m a veteran playing in a competitive men’s draw and can give top seeds a run for their money.

Donic Bluefire (Max, Black):

Straight to the Facts:

• Heavier and produces a higher arc than Acuda S2
• On slow games, it generates more spin
• Cannot compete with Acuda S2 in topspins from mid-distance

Playing Experience:

• Initial feeling on Donic Dotec Persson was unpleasant but improved over time
• Still prefers the Acuda S2 on this blade
• Bluefire feels harder despite its supposed softer topsheet, attributed to the sponge

Topspins:

• Higher arc initially caused over-shots
• Limited speed when playing away from the table, lacking the Acuda’s “top gear”
• Spin is comparable to Acuda S2
• Advantageous for rescuing low balls but Acuda is preferred for better feeling and acceleration from distance or in topspin rallies

Other Strokes:

• Good speed for drives and smashes, similar to Acuda
• Good control for blocking, considering it’s a spin-oriented rubber
• Superior to Acuda in chopping, with slightly slower speed and increased backspin
• Flicking is also comfortable

I upgraded from M3 to M2 and have used it on both sides, one boosted and one unboosted.

Comparisons on other sites mention T05. The speed is similar, and the spin in loops (counter, opening, normal) is similar too. However, I don’t believe this rubber is a Tenergy substitute.

M2 has a lower throw than M3 but higher than T05. It is less springy. Smashes and hits are better than T05 due to the rubber being more controlled because of the longer dwell time. This rubber is excellent for attacking games with ALL±to OFF characteristics.

The sheet works well on spin-elastic to hard blades. On harder blades, it feels mushy. Boosting can increase speed, springiness, and spin, but the rubber already contains factory tuning. Boosting may also result in a slight loss of control.

The red topsheet is chemically unstable. After 200 hours of play, it degrades and dissolves. Boosting, hand sweat, and repetitive pressure accelerate this process. Black topsheets last longer.

If you boost the red rubber and are a sweaty person, it will only last 6 months. Unboosted black rubbers can last for 300 hours of play.

On spin-elastic blades, M2 is better for the backhand side. On hard blades, it is suitable for both sides.

Hi, this is a very good table tennis rubber. I used it for my backhand and it is very effective. It has a good spin.

The only downside is that it shrinks A LOT!! I mean it REALTY. I used it for 5 months and now it has shrunk 5mm or 3mm on each edge.

I recommend this to players who are very experienced to use this, as it can shrink if you accidentally remove the rubber from your blade during a match. That is how it happened to me!

This rubber is suitable for players who have been playing for around two years. It offers good speed when playing close to the table but its performance is not as impressive when playing further away from the table. The spin is notable, and it’s easy to generate spin on serves, pushes, and topspins. Overall, I think it’s a great rubber for intermediate to advanced players. If you’re looking for something that supports a close-to-the-table attacking style, I highly recommend this rubber.

Excellent rubber.
Amazing topspin and high arc. Control is really good. Speed comparing to Acuda S2, the M2 has noticeably less speed.
For backhand, it’s not much useful, seems need to stroke more powerfully as usual.
For forehand, I already said before, the topspin is excellent but quite slower than the S1 I used and also slower than S2.
The feel is that the M2 is more controllable than the S1 but you need to hit really more harder to give the same speed as the S2.

I like the BlueFire M2 on my backhand. It gives good speed and spin. Overall, it’s a good rubber that makes my backhand powerful. It also works really well during chops, blocking, and drives.

This is very good rubber, similar to 2nd generation Baracuda, but with less spin sensitivity, better control, and consistency.

The tuning goes quickly, reducing the spin and arc, but it needs to be replaced. This is seen in the lower durability value.

Speed glued performance is far better, but even faster tuner evaporation, but in this case, you will not regret it. :D

Like Baracuda, Donic Bluefire M3 is one of the few highly successful rubbers from Donic. It is the sweet spot among the Bluefire series, offering a perfect balance of amazing spin, high speed, good feel, and control.

For me, it outperforms Tenergy, especially in terms of control. While Tenergy may have a slightly higher top-end spin, it requires more precision and technique for effective shots.

In my opinion, the Donic Bluefire M3 ranks among the top three tensors ever produced.

Note: The durability of the rubber is not exceptional, but its performance and the price make up for it.

This rubber provides better control than the Baracuda, but it generates less spin. I use it on my backhand.

After using this rubber for two weeks on my forehand, I have to say that it’s a well-rounded performer. It excels at generating spin and is also effective for smashes. While its speed is not significantly faster than my Rakza 7 Soft backhand rubber, it offers more spin and consistency for forehand attacks.

Una goma excelente en todo sentido, con un buen efecto catapulta, una buena velocidad y un tiempo de permanencia fantástico.

Es una goma muy buena, aunque parece que no durará mucho. Toca darle tiempo para actualizar mi reseña.

Review of M2 Table Tennis Rubber

I chose M2 as a substitute for Acuda S2 on a j-pen setup, looking for more hard-hitting capability. In my opinion, the S2 is better suited for a controlled spin-attacking game. The M2, being heavier and slightly harder, is more suitable for aggressive play. However, both rubbers have similar characteristics.

My M2 is a red 2.0, but the first time I played with it, it felt like 2.5 glued rubber. Compared to Rasant (2.0), both rubbers perform similarly in attacking play, but the M2 offers more versatility for small shots.

Despite its reputation, I haven’t found anything extraordinary about the M2. It’s a good all-around attacking rubber, but I haven’t noticed the chemical substance that is claimed to enhance its performance.

Antes jugaba con Acuda S2, que tenía un arco más largo. Con Bluefire M2, el arco es más corto, lo que hace que la pelota se levante mejor y caiga en la mesa antes. Es una goma excelente.

Slightly tacky rubber, Bluefire allows you to make good spin strokes (I play with Bluefire on my backhand).

It has an excellent catapult effect.

Using it on my backhand, the M2 has great control, a tenergy feel in that it plays easy, is not as fast, but has good spin. I purchased it for $41.25.

Very good rubber, more spin than Acuda S2, speed is about the same, control is immense. At the table, it’s unbelievable, but away from the table, it needs more effort and strength. I am using it on FH.

I didn’t like the rubber. I played T05. Bluefire weighs 50 grams trimmed (T05 - 42 grams). The catapult is less controlled but the spin is good.

This rubber’s catapult effect is simply too much to handle. It generates great spin and an awesome arc, but control is difficult. The topsheet is too hard to penetrate for slow hits, in my opinion. Compared to M3, which had less catapult and allowed for better backhand flicks, this rubber deforms more on hard hits, resulting in less direct ball shots.

The sponge is too springy. Where this rubber excels is at mid-distance from the table; you can brush the ball with short strokes, and the arc is exceptionally high. It can bend sharply, especially if you hit it fast. However, control is lacking in short games, as the ball bounces too much forward or upward on underspin shots.

Even on backhand, which typically requires faster rubber, I found it difficult to control. I now use Tenergy 05 and find it much easier to manage. The rubber also shrinks significantly, making it harder, especially the topsheet. Some recommend this rubber for its “dwell time,” but I couldn’t notice it. Xiom Vega Europe has a much better dwell time on backhand. Surprisingly, this rubber performed well when blocking shots.

A medium sponge with a hardness of 45°. It has a great balance of speed, spin, and control between M1 and M3.

I have been using Bluefire M2 for more than 6 years and I think it is an excellent backhand rubber which offers control, spin, and speed. For my forehand, I like something a bit faster like M1 or M1 Turbo but I have also used M2 for my forehand. For me, price, durability, and quality come together in Donic Bluefire M2.

Fast, spiny, and with good control, a bit soft but not too much, a keeper rubber! Used with Donic World Champion 89 Waldner OFF Blade which is very nice as well, good control and feeling, and if you hit strongly, the carbon starts to kick in…

I use max thickness.
It has great spin and speed, and yet the control is very good. Before, I played with the old Mark V, but the Blue Fire is faster with more control (yes, more control). I use the Waldner World Championship blade; for me, it is a great combination for spin speed and control.
The Blue Fire is bouncy but surprisingly with control, a bit heavy.
Before, I used Sinus rubber, which was bouncy but with no control and a harder rubber.

Este o placă cu adevărat care oferă cam tot ce ai vrea, control și spin, viteză medie.

Very good speed and spin. Catapult effect. Everything as I like.

Good product, swift delivery, I would highly recommend.

Gute Kontrolle, viel Spin und guter Katapulteffekt. Nicht zu schnell.

Great feel for touch shots, enough power for drives, and easily controllable.

It suits an aggressive forehand style. Pairing this with an offensive+ blade is a very good combination.

It was very grippy when it was on Stiga Clipper, but on the Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon it is not so grippy. But overall, it is a very good rubber.

I understand why everybody buys 2.0 thickness. I tried max. It has very good dwell, but a huge catapult makes it less controlled. Every topspin block goes off the table. In short, maximum thickness is too fast for an intermediate player like me.

Tried it on both FH and BH, and I found that it lacks a bit of speed and power on FH. But it is a great BH rubber. Control is good.

Esimesed paar nädalat oli see väga hea tunnetusega kumm, mis tõmbas hästi vinti ja oli võimas. Neljandal nädalal tundsin juba, et midagi on valesti, kumm hakkas tuimaks muutuma.

One of the best rubbers that I have used. Also, it is usable and appropriate for beginners and youngsters.

The Donic Bluefire M2 is a great rubber for both intermediate and advanced players. It offers great spin for opening up and good feel for chopping and blocking. I would definitely pair this rubber with a stiffer blade, like the Waldner Senso Carbon. I play with an attacking style from both wings, using the M2 on both forehand and backhand, and have good confidence in this setup. The guys at TT11 also provided great speedy service. Keep up the great work!

It has the feeling of security that you need in an FH rubber, but enough speed to finish the point with a single shot.

This rubber is amazing.

Very good rubber!

Fast. Has good control, good spin, and is good for forehand and for me.

Pretty strong in flicking and smashing the ball. Pushing is not as stable and the control is not high.

This is my second sheet of this rubber that I ordered, the previous red 2.0 RED went on the backhand, and this one on the forehand. Unfortunately, it was too fast for my forehand, so I switched it and now I use it on the backhand. It works really well there, as my backhand is noticeably better than my forehand… I know, yes, I am constantly improving. Luckily, its speed is matched by good control, so I can make stronger shots more accurately, but the “thin” spins also surprise my opponent. When it comes to counters, you need to be more skilled, as the ball comes back at maximum speed, so you have to pay attention to control. Surprisingly, you can handle the ball very delicately when chopping, both for short and long shots. However, when it comes to water-based glue, reattaching this delicate sponge is a real nightmare…

Thank you for a wonderful job.

Donic Bluefire M2 is a good rubber, but it seems slow and bouncy on my racket while I am using it on my forehand. I find Bluefire JP01 better than M2.

Eddig a DHS gumikat preferáltam, lévén a kínai top játékosok kedvelése miatt, de éreztem, hogy egy Hurricane III. Neo borításhoz kevés a tudásom. Edzőm javaslatára választottam a Donic Bluefire M2 borítást, amivel egyre jobb eredményeket érek el fonák oldalon. Vékonyan ragasztva nagyon jó pörgető hatást lehet vele elérni, amellett, hogy pontossága sokkal jobb, mint az előző DHS borítás. Bár a fa maradt a DHS Power G7 OFF+, amivel annyira nem vagyok már kiegyezve, kemény és rideg hozzá, nem beszélve az idegesítő hangjáról. Hamarosan azt is cserélem, mert tenyérre is elkélne már egy jobb gumi!

Very springy and true to their “catapult effect” claim. I would have preferred slightly more tackiness in the rubber though. Good for intermediate/advanced amateurs. I use this for my forehand and can’t say I’m super psyched. Coming from a Coppa JO Gold for my forehand, this was slightly faster and harder to control, but you get the hang of it within a week. Good for flat hitting, good for loops once you get adjusted to the feel of the rubber, but the dwell time of the ball is not a lot. The arcing angle is a lot, so the arc would have quite some height. I’d prefer a harder, less springy rubber for the forehand. I would say this is a very good backhand rubber for players who play away from the table as the tensor construction gives the added lift in the arch to hit backhand loops without too much effort from quite a distance away. Wouldn’t recommend it for other purposes too much. Definitely not for the forehand. There are better options for those.

I was impressed by this rubber. I use it for my forehand on a Xiom Vega Pro. It loops very well. Spin is awesome, controls well, and even though I use 2.1 sponge, it’s pretty fast. If you’re looking for a cost-efficient Tenergy replacement, this rubber is very close.

Good product.

Very good for use.

Review text:

Very easy to generate and impart spin. Good spin on serves as well as in rallies; it has a nice arc as well. It’s a good rally rubber, but for loop kills, you need to really work hard to keep the ball going down after topspin and too deep. Can be used both FH / BH.

The price is reasonable, cheaper than any other sports store. I received my order after 3 or 4 days. I recommend Tabletennis11 to everyone for its service and quality.

Muy buen agarre, liviano y buen precio.

I use it on my forehand with Donic Waldner Senso Carbon. Control and speed are great. Spin is also very good. I recommend this rubber for the forehand.

This rubber is incredible and stable when I loop, etc. It’s often more difficult to control with certain high-tension rubbers, but I seem to be able to completely handle the control with Bluefire M2. I have previously used Tibhar EL-P and I find some similarities. However, I am currently in favor of Bluefire!.

Great rubber at this price point. Next time, instead of buying the expensive Tenergies, I’ll go for Bluefire M2/Omega V Pro, etc. Lots of gear.

Got a black 2.0 mm on the BH with Stiga Infinity. Love it!

Great for blocking and topspins close to and away from the table. I can generate lots of spin on services. Don’t purchase if you are a beginner as it is very fast.

I love the Bluefire M2 rubbers. They are great for looping, blocking, flipping, and serving. I have used Tenergy 05 in the past, but I get more control and a better short game with the Bluefire at a great price. The MAX sponge is a bit too fast for me, especially after boosting. I prefer the medium thickness.

M2 on the backhand is the best.

Excellent rubber of medium rubber from Donic.

Awesome spin and speed, great for looping. Not good for flat hitters.

Since I bought the Donic M2 Rubber, my game has improved. This rubber helped a lot for backhand and better speed. Thank you Table Tennis 11 for the delivery. I received all the orders the next day. Very good service!!!.

Super fast, great spin! Love it.

Makes so much spin, very good.

Soft and rubber are almost slippery. M-series has a strange rubber surface in my opinion. Maybe M1 is okay. M3 is super soft.

Me agradó mucho esta goma. La compré en negro porque había leído que la roja no sale muy buena. Tiene muy buena velocidad, agarre y control. Yo la uso en el revés y me ha funcionado muy bien.

I have played with this rubber for a long time on my backhand and I think this is very good, a lot of control, good spin, and fast enough.

And as always, Tabletennis11 has a very good service.

Fast delivery from tabletennis11 as usual. The rubber is good on speed, spin, and control.

Very good rubber for forehand or backhand.

Satisfied, but not a really good feeling. I am now changing to Acuda series and hope it will perform tip-top.

Excelente goma
Rápida
Buen control
La goma de color negro tiene mucho más efecto que la roja
Todos mis compañeros la quieren tener.

Excellent rubbers.
Fast.
Great control.
Good for topspin and flat hitting.
The black rubber has much more spin than the red one.

Almost the same performance as the T05 but with a lower price.

M2 is my favorite TT rubber; it has all I need. Spin 9/10, speed 7/10, control 7/10. NB: This review is based on my opinion. Moreover, I use an offensive blade (Stiga Rosewood NCT V).

M2 is better than M1 and M3.

Recommended.

Good one.

Excellent.

I like it very much. I’ll buy it again in the future.

Great medium rubber with very nice tackiness and 3rd generation sponge. Perfect for backhand as the medium top sheet allows the sponge to compress more quickly, giving the hugging effect, which immediately transfers into better control and spin. Giving a backhand fade and powering it into the opposite corner is a piece of cake. Serving also generates more spin compared to my forehand rubber Rasant PowerGrip for the very same effect explained above. Good speed but not many gears as it quickly reaches its speed limit. Very nice speed glue sound and effect blasting it through the table, the blue sponge is also visually appealing and great in combination with my PowerGrip green sponge. It took me a while to figure out the arc of the Bluefire M2 as I’m using a DHS Hurricane Long 3 offensive blade but after a few hours, it was a looping monster.
If you hear some durability complaints, don’t take it personally as this is the nature of all modern rubbers after 100-150 hours of training. I would highly recommend the Bluefire M2 to anyone. Just avoid paying full retail price and take advantage of the weekly sales tabletennis11 has, which works out to half the price compared to Tenergy rubbers. As for comparison against other brands or models, I would say they are all pretty much the same and the choice you should make is not the brand but whether you want a soft, medium, or hard rubber.

Good, affordable backhand compliment to Chinese forehand rubbers. Medium sponge works well on almost any blade.

Good spin and speed. Slower than M1, but better control.

Very good for backhand.

Really good control and speed, all in one. Fits almost all blades. The rubber that changed my mind for Donic rubbers, period!

Medium to soft rubber; you don’t want to put it on soft blades. If you are good enough, it offers nice speed and medium control.

Good price, fast, lots of spin. I love it.

Thanks, TT11…fast delivery. Great quality rubber at a very affordable price.

Kudos to Tabletennis11 for excellent service. Reached India in 10 days.
Cons: Heavier. The 2.0 Red felt thicker (maybe due to top sheet) than T05Fx 2.1.
Pros: Feels and plays just like Tenergy 05 FX. Spin may be slightly lower than T05Fx depending on playing style and technique. Played for both FH and BH. I still prefer T05Fx for BH. Good for close to table attacking players if you can handle the extra weight.

I have been using this for a while and I find this rubber amazing. The quality of amalgamation of spin and speed impresses me. Great for players like me who want to play all-around, offensive mostly but even defensive sometimes.

Great speed!

Very good.

If you are not the conventional Mark V player and want something extra from your rubber, go for Bluefire M2, either 2.0 or Max for forehand. You won’t regret it. I have never played with Tenergy yet, but I don’t need to. This is the perfect rubber unless you are a player indulging in those crazy rallies we see on YouTube by professionals.

This is an excellent offensive, looping rubber with great feeling and a nice speed-glue sound. It is very springy and has great bounce and speed. It has a medium sponge and is a bit heavy. I like it better than Tenergy 05fx, which I previously used on my forehand; it is much easier to loop and the power is explosive.

I agree with those who rated this, it works like a charm on rigid and semi-rigid woods, but not very well on soft ones. It can be assembled on a giant fiberglass dargon (off-) the m2 and it’s a deadly weapon. Good control greatly enhances the blocking and the spin is fantastic, but the M1 is very fast. Moreover, the fact that it doesn’t last long and is very heavy. As someone said, you need to find a very light balsa wood, or you risk wrist injuries.

Spin, speed, control, defense, attack well balanced. Very happy with this rubber.

Rubber is a bit heavy but has good speed and spin unboosted. It gets too soft and mushy if you boost it.

So far I’ve only played once with it, and already I think I’m in love! I was using S1 Turbo on my forehand previously - which I love - but trying out Bluefire M2 now feels so right! It’s got a lot of power and spin - creates a great arc for the ball to come down, so you hit the table more often. It has a good tacky grip, and the sponge feels firm enough to give power but soft enough for good ball dwell time and control. Serves were great with it!

Also, I noticed it’s a lot better for mid to far-distance counter looping than the S1 Turbo because it seems to have more throw from those distances. Before I used to have problems with counter looping into the net - but this has that extra “umph” without being uncontrollable.

I’m going to have to play with it some more to really make a final decision - but so far I think I may have found my new favorite forehand rubber.

Also, feels good on the backhand - so I think next time around I’ll be trying the M1 on my forehand and M2 on my backhand.

Controllable bounce.

Good for looping and blocking on the forehand.

4-star rubber.

It has a very good feel, not very fast, with a hard springy sponge. Players who are not so aggressive and play an all-around game should use this rubber. Another option is if you have a very fast blade, then the combination might be good.

Originally planned to use on FH, but when used for BH, it is great for BH loop kill either near or mid range. Low arc.

Highly recommended for advanced players.

Great rubber that will improve your game.

Greetings from Washington state, U.S.A. I received my order several days ago and just wanted to say thank you. I ordered a Yasaka Extra blade assembled with Donic Baracuda (2.0) and Bluefire M2 (2.0). The blade was sealed and edge tape applied. I am very pleased with the workmanship and price.
After about 4 hours of play, I’m already growing quite fond of this combination. This setup, for me, has plenty of speed, and while the Bluefire is marginally faster than the Baracuda, both rubbers produce mega-spin and nice, tight arcs when looping. When compared to my previous setup (LKT Instinct, Tibhar Genius Max & 2.0), this new setup seems to afford greater looping potential and better directional control.
I will stick with this combo and, after additional play, I will offer a more complete review of these products.

P.S. I will do business with TT11 in the future.
