I use it on forehand, but it can work on backhand really well too. Like most of the BLUE-donic rubbers it is bouncy, but not in the Tenergy way. Donic sponges are more foamy than rubbery and very springy and feel easier to penetrate than Tenergy, so it has more bounce on slow shots which makes them harder to perform, but on the other hand you get better feeling of the blade on the ball bounce. I had similiar feeling with Bluefire M2 vs Ten05. This rubber however is not as spin sensitive as M2 - brushing on M2 creates more spin IMO, but still Bluestorm has plenty since the topsheet is nice and elastic, more elastic than Bluefire. Bluestorm produces good speed. Certainly enough for intermediates. The tricky part I think is the blade. I think it requires more soft wood blade. I have 7 layer Limba/Limba/Ayous/Ayous blade and it functions really well on that blade. Feeling is crisper than with Tenergy and rubber becomes very easy to control in short game. It should work really well with some OFF- wood blades with softer outer from my experience. Koto outer i think maybe too hard for this rubber, but if you have Ayous underneath and good touch and technique maybe you can manage. Anyway great rubber I am really impressed. Especially that I've picked it up used in Mint Condition(almost) for funny price of 7$. Topsheet still grips really well. Fresh one out of the box is even grippier I suppose and more bouncy. Rubber doesnt weight a ton. Mine is 47 grams. Ten05 Weighs 45. Hardness is 47 and Tenergy is 45, but when you push it with finger feels softer and ball feeling is better so weird stuff going on here, some Donic Voodo Magic xd Throw angle is lower than Ten05 and certainly lower than Bluefire M2.
