Low throw. Weight is avarege. Excellent control with reasonable speed. Good for serves and chopping. The ball always stays low so clearing the net is a challenge. I can be very forgiven because the sponge is medium hardness with an overall soft feel. The mainly fault is that it lacks spin sometimes (to really create spin sponge must be engaged), on the other side it has little reactivity to incoming spin.

Donic Bluefire JP 02
by Donic
Donic Bluefire JP 02 has open-pored sponge, in the medium hardness range (45 degrees), producing a perfect combination of spin, speed and control. Ideally suited for attackers and powerful allround players who require all these qualities in one rubber.
Donic is a table tennis equipment manufacturer that produces high-quality products in Volklingen, Germany. In business for over 25 years, they have been on the forefront of research and development, led by top Swedish pro players Jan-Ove Waldner and Jorgen Persson.
Ask around your local table tennis club and you'll be sure to find some players using Donic equipment. They have a great reputation and it's no surprise when you look at their rubbers. Three of their most well-known product lines are undoubtedly the Acuda, Bluefire and Bluestorm series. Additionally, a spin-heavy favorite for the backhand is the Donic Baracuda. If you like to spin, smash, or a little bit of both, you won't go wrong with Donic.

Reviews of Donic Bluefire JP 02 (11)
Great speed for a medium hardness rubber. Despite the fact that the topsheet is not as grippy as, say, Donic's Acuda S2, this is a spinny rubber, but I tend to think that the spin is unleashed when engaging the sponge. Quite springy, so requires a somewhat good technique to prevent overhitting. Pairs well with OFF- to OFF blades like Xiom's Offensive S and Yasaka's Ma Lin Extra Special. Quite heavy for a rubber of such hardness.
I'm an intermediate player whos strength is topspins with enough spin to put the other player off. I used this rubber on both backhand and forehand on a donic perrson powerplay are sensitive V2. First impressions were that the rubber was heavy. In the driving game, the rubbers were great generating good speed off my flat drives. In pushing the rubbers could generate good spin but only when pushing long. Short pushes wnet high over the net. Topspins with this rubber were alright. They ball carried good spin but it was difficult to get speed and spin low over the net. After 12 months of using them they now feel like my old JP 03s did when they came out of the wrapping and have cracked slightly.
Overall I think that this rubber is good on the backhand but is not suited to a forehand of an attacking player.

I was using JP 01 Turbo on forhand of a Ma Lin EO JP version. Backhand DHS 555. Some players on my club are very defensive, so I was not able to play agaist them because 01 turbo was too much faster and is not good for short game. So after readind Smith review I tried JP 02, even knowing thar it has less spin than JP 01 turbo (this is a problem for me, because I prefer very grip rubbers, like skyline TG3 neo, in inspite of the weaker control of TG3). Now I have the control and the gears that I was looking for. I tried Skyline 3-60 also, but it has little spin, very different from the original skyline TG3 neo. I tried Baracuda also, but it has less spin, control and is less gripy tha JP 02. JP 02 has many gears, and if you hit strong it has a very good speed, but if you want to place the ball just after the net it is also possible. I think that I will choose this as my forhand rubber.
