Customer review for Donic Baracuda

External Review for Donic Baracuda on May 1, 2023

My first Donic Baracuda is a 2.0 mm thick blue Baracuda. I absolutely love it on my Innerforce Layer ALC.

Speed; It has a good speed, enough for my hybrid attack-defend style of play. Really, its speed is more than enough. Slow and fast shots can be played, according to will.

Spin; The strongest trait of this rubber, it really has an extreme spin. Despite being developed for the celluloid ball, the plastic ball can also be rotated in an extreme way. I love how spinny and grippy this rubber. It has such a strong spin it even spun off the antispin rubbers.

Control; Well yes, it has a good amount of control. It is somewhat easy to place the ball where you want to. It is not that spin sensitive as other have written. It is sensitive to spin, but not extremely.

Else; Its arc is actually not that high. It is a convenient medium-high arc, just enough to go over the net. Pushes are good with this rubber and block are okay too. Feels very nice, I can feel my blade when hitting with the rubber, it is so soft and I like it pretty much.

I will update my review as time goes on. Thus, I'm yet unable to say anything about its durability. Also, this is the 100th review about this magnificent rubber! :D

Update; I've been using it for almost 3 weeks now and so far so good! The durability is good, at least for now! I've changed my blade to Stiga Cybershape Wood and it is absolutely a great match! I love it!
