External Review for Donic BlueGrip J1 on July 11, 2025

I have been playing with Bluegrip C2 for a year and a half, and love the rubber: Fantastisc spin (serves, loopes, chopping), without doubt the best non-chinese rubber there (havent tested the best there). Good control, decent speed. Wanted to try try Bluegrip J1 to see if it could provide more speed from mid/long distance. Feared that more speed would mean more "bounce" and less control, which does not suit my style, technique and level.

After 6-7 practices, I would conclude as follows: Provides the same, massive spin as Bluegrip C2. Without a doubt more speed - easier to counter with quality when pressed away from the table, easier to add speed when looping.

I do not feel like I have lost anything when it comes to control. Insencitive to incoming spin on serves, good for blocking. You can go for max on both sides: Absolutely controllable.

I can strongly recommend this rubber! I have played with hybrid rubbers such as Butterfly Dignics 09c, Tibhar K3, Andro C53, Vicas Triple Double Extra, Xiom Jekyll & Hyde C55 etc - they are nothing compared to C2 - and even less compared to J1.
