Customer review for Donic Baracuda

External Review for Donic Baracuda on February 12, 2018

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.
