Customer review for Donic Acuda S2

External Review for Donic Acuda S2 on April 11, 2013

this is my first review here and i was restarting with table tennis a year ago after a break of about 10 years.

acutally i using acuda s2 on forehand (black 2.3) and backhand (red 2.0) on a donic dotec blade. my impression is that the accuda is an good allround offensive rubber without real weak points. for this reason it will be for me the reference rubber for all future review.

the acuda s2 has a good speed, good spin and good control. the throw angle was lower than the rubbers i have played years ago. compared to them (donic vario, vario mach 1) the biggest difference is that the acuda s2 has a better speed (especially when you are away from the table and a lower throw angle and a lot more gears. spin seem to me more or less the same.

***general characteristic***
the biggest strength of this rubber is in my opinion that you can do it all (top, block, shot, chop...). it generates good topspins on every distance with sufficient (but not extraordinary) spin , blocking is quite easy, shots and counter attacks can be hard and precise, good serving and returns are also not a big deal with it. you can play slow and on shorter distances as well as you can play away from the table means that this rubber has many gears.

***comparison of different accuda rubbers***
the 2.3mm will get you again some more speed for playing with topspins away from the table compared to the 2.0mm. the red version which i use on backhand seem is noticeable heavier than the black version.

*** short characteristic***
+ a real offense "all you can do rubber"
+many gears

- i am dissapointed of the durability(quality) =>there is again a spot where the pips shining through after only 15h of playing on may forehand. on the other hand i was able to play nearly 6 month with the old 2.0mm black on my forehand it it was still spinny and speedy)
