Review of Donic Baracuda

I tried during last 20 years few Donic rubbers - Desto F2 and F3 , X1 TP , Acuda S2 , from another companies BTY Tenergy 05 , Tibhar FX-P. Donic Baracuda is imho for my play the best of all of them. Donic Baracuda has big spin potential and good speed. Baracuda is very , very good in combination with powerfull stiff blades , as my Xiom Strato or Avalox P700. Highly recomended for new "plastic time" , regarding huge spin. Edit 03/18: Baracuda has not so high speed as BTY T05 , has similary (low) catapult effect and similary characteristic and spin possibility.Baracuda is diferent from new rubbers as blue Storm e.t.c. Baracuda is "old school" tensor rubber with best spin potential with moderate speed. Edit 30.4.19: I play still Baracuda , in max...Durability 7 months for me , very good option , today on Vodak Diolen custom blade(similary of some arylate blade )...Highly recommended rubber.After trying all thicknesses I play with max sponge , in could conditions by matches is it little more funktionally ..Edit 2.1.2020: After some months with Fastarc G1 I am back by Baracuda...Reason is - in our could Gym is Baracudas 45SH better as 47SH by G1. My best thickness - option after testing 1,8-2,0-max is 2,0mm now - best mix of all properties near the table .Combined with ALC blade is Baracuda very efficient rubber with enough speed , best spin and good control.Edit 11.10.23: I am bazck by Baracuda , this time max sponge. Very good combination with my litle bit elastic Expert II CRWi blade. Better then MX-P, Bluegrip S1 and Big Dipper. Very good control with vicious spin, easy use on this blade.

Review of Donic Bluegrip S1

Bluegrip S1 is good transition between chinesisch rubber as Big Dipper and euro rubber as Dynaryz ACC. Slightly tacky surface with high grip , enough speed , very good spin. Sponge 47,5° from Acuda S1 , blue color. This rubber has good control in passive shots and sufficient speed and power by powered shots. Spinny loops und service.

Review of JOOLA Dynaryz AGR

Very good forehand rubber. AGRessive in most situations. Little harder as Dignics 05, but i see this rubber as alternative to Dignics 05. Best for close to table aggressive attack, but not only. Very good spin and for so fast rubber outstanding control. Medium speed blade recommended. Flexier blade - very good match with harder AGR rubber. Not for beginners.

Review of Nittaku Fastarc G-1

Very good FH rubber , best as I ever tried. Thickness - super thick (2,0). Played on Donic Ovtcharov True Carbon blade 86 gramm. Smaller catapult , good speed and very good spin. Direct feel , plenty of control by every stroke.
Comming from Baracuda , G1 has better speed , control and block-counter-smash game .Spin is similar. I was surprissed - with this rubber is possible to do different "touch" strokes and direct attack through opponents topspin. With this rubber open me new possibilities in many areas of my game. My new lethal weapon. Highly recommended.

Review of Yinhe Big Dipper

Big Dipper classic black Hardness 40 , white package , on Viscaria 92 gramm , after only 1 session:
Due to factory tunning (rubber has foil on topsheet and sponge , sponge has glossy tacky layer on it) is feeling more hybrid , dynamic , softer... More speed than by version BD IV , despite review from TT-Maximum said this on the contrary.
Spin is similar , more speed component due tunning , not so easy short play and extrem arc loop vith high spin. Classical Big Dipper is much more similar to Euro/Jap tensor/high tension rubber than version IV , but is still not so dynamic and with only moderate catapult effect.
Edit: Played cca 12 hours for the Corona - Stop:
Classic Big Dipper is perfect described in TTCP post. More lively feeling than H3 Neo or BD4 untuned , more elastic topsheet , better dynamic and feel ...After only 1 training session used in competitive play , all won inclucive double. Feeling with Viscaria very good , sharp , precise feel by shot , linear behavior , enough feedback. My friend has this rubber on Avalox BT777 , feel is more soft and flexible and litle slover , but very comfortable too. Red sheet Big Dipper H40 on True carbon - little softer , more wooden feel ... litle slower as combination Viscaria + black sheet . It is possible , that diferent colors have not the same behavior , black color by china rubbers is recomended by many players.
All combinations with Big Dipper H40 wich I used have very good linearity , low catapult and better consistence in shots against tensor rubers as Baracuda or Fastarc G1 or tension rubber as Tenergy 05 , better short game and despite harder sponge enough sense/feedback and power for gameplay near and far from table.
Update 02/2022: After arm problems I tried H38 version. It is my solution. Big Dipper H38 is far softer as H40 version. H38 rubber is on the way to eu/jap hybrids. For me in this time best solution .
