Good tacky rubber with good spin. Fits very well with Donic original carbospeed, I have it on the FH and backhand and it works great on both sides. Doesn't take too much effort to get good spin and speed. Not for beginners, at least on that blade. you need to put effort in to get the most out of it and you need good technique to not make mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes with it when I was still developing technique but it's great for players who have a deeper understanding of the game. Throw angle is medium and when my technique wasn't as good it was harder to loop it over the net. Now since my technique is better it actually isn't quite bad at all. It last a very long time... I've had it for months and it still has ok tack although not like when it was new. The performance seems to stay the same for the time I've had it.

Donic BlueGrip R1
by Donic
Donic BlueGrip -- The Return of Rotation! BlueGrip R1 is the future: Play as before, thanks to the technology of tomorrow. Speed: 94
Donic presents a real innovation: the answer to the plastic ball. BlueGrip is the first rubber that has a sticky, Chinese-style surface combined with a sponge with built-in speed glue effect. BlueGrip combines the best of two worlds - plus it is "Made in Germany"! Our developers have been asking themselves: how can you compensate for the rotation loss that the plastic ball has brought, but without sacrificing the dynamics of coatings with built-in speed glue effect? The result is BlueGrip.
BlueGrip R1 has a blue, medium-pored sponge that provides a powerful catapult effect and a surface that optimally supports both sides attacking game. BlueGrip R1 gives a slightly softer feel and compensates for the losses that the plastic ball has brought with it. The longer contact time at the ball meeting point allows significantly more rotation in the up and back play. Plus it is "Made in Germany"!
Spin: 97
Control: 68
Hardness: Hard

Reviews of Donic BlueGrip R1 (7)
IMHO good for backhand. It has that tacky feel but a bit slow for my playing style. It is a bit heavy.
Really helped me to change my forehand technique from hit to loop oriented.
Bought black and red. Seems black is bit more tacky.
After 3 months of usage tackiness disappeared. But grip at the same time was not reduced drastically - so it's quite durable rubber.
Was used 5 days a week 1 hour per day with robot trainings.
Tried for bh - but it's not so good for bh.
My level is something 2100-sh.
