I replaced my Bluegrip V1 with the J1 and have practiced twice with it. The J1 feels as if I just glued itit looks absolutely new. The top sheet is grippy but not super tacky, which I liked because it gives me extra control. Blocking is straightforward and effective. The loop drives are amazing, delivering great sound, spin, and speed. I expected it to be heavier; it weighs 73 g uncut and 51 g after cutting, used on a Yinhe T11S blade.
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.
