Even more sound and control due to the softer sponge.The new FORMULA DONIC BARACUDA BIG SLAM rubber with inbuilt speed glue effect produces fantastic spin. With DONIC BARACUDA BIG SLAM the ball leaves the blade in a conspicuously higher arc, giving considerably more spin. The increased rotation of the ball stabilises the flight and increases speed. The results are convincing after a few hours of training to become used to this modern rubber. Accuracy of placement is visibly improved even for top players. DONIC BARACUDA BIG SLAM offers that extra margin of safety even in the tightest situation, and not only when engaged in a high risk top spin game. DONIC BARACUDA BIG SLAM's top rubber surface has been newly constructed to minimise abrasion. The happy result: more playing hours with a surface that remains intact without noticeable abrasion.

It's too soft and slow for "new" plastic balls. Extremely spiny with brush-like strokes. Edges break really fast and it's not very durable at all. But I have never encountered spinnier rubber and I've tried hundreds of rubbers.

Strange, but this has nothing of its big brother, Baracuda has. Everything is worse. Feels like Donic has pushed out it quickly on the market when Baracuda came and got alot of attention. Baracuda is top 10 still i think. This is not bottom 10, but close!

The Donic Baracuda Big Slam is relatively light at ~46 grams when cut to a 157x150 mm blade. My impressions of the Baracuda Big Slam do not differ greatly from the regular version. It feels slightly softer, slower, and less spinny, especially on high-impact shots. Thus, the feeling on FH drives is solid but not particularly crisp. FH loops, on the other hand, do feel a little bit crisper due to the softer sponge, which also provides an audible click and a medium-high ball trajectory that gives sufficient safety over the net despite the moderate speed of the rubber.

Definitely not suitable for a hard blade. The sponge is too soft so that it feels like the ball hit the blade directly. Not as much grip as the regular version when brushing the ball.
