External Review for Donic BlueStar A2 on June 26, 2024

Obviously, various reviewers don't seem to be clear on how to translate the term "tackiness". - ... this rubber is definitely "not tacky" and can "not really lift the ball" !!! 24.06.: As the rubber was too expensive for me to buy new, I bought a used one that was in mint condition. In black, it weighs 48 g, is 2.0 mm thick and measures 157 x 150 mm. For my first test, I stuck the rubber (with solvent-based glue) onto my Huieson ZLC (- outer). The DOTZ test turned out to be extremely interesting. With minimal use of the wrist, you can generate an incredible amount of rotation. (- very promising!!!) ... the 50 degree hard sponge feels a little softer! 28.06.: first Impressions after playing on my Huieson ZLC: the rotation at my serves, is absolutely outstanding and higher than every rubber I played in the past. - however this rubber is a bit sensitive to the incoming rotation. In contrast to the Dig 09c, where I can neutralize the opponent's spin much better, here I have to go at the ball much more aggressively. ... the earlier I go for the ball in an offensive game, the more effective my balls are. - however, I will change the blade, Sanwei 75 ALC Inner. 02.07.: this blade is clearly the better choice. Due to the fact that this rubber has much more catapult (and more speed!) than my Dig. 09c in max. thickness, I don't feel save with it in the short game. - although all in all he is already very controlled.
Conclusion: while with the 09c I can deliberately take the ball very late and still be able to get it to the target, with the A2 I have to go to the ball much earlier in order to be able to play balls with high quality! However, aggressive play over the table seems easier with the A2 than with the Dig. ... which is due to the catapult, the higher speed and the immense grip! The A 2 is therefore a very interesting rubber for mid and higher class player. - oh yes, after a short time of playing the top rubber no longer looks "so pretty". :-(

Swietna okladzina od Donica, uzywam po stronie BH na TB ZLF. Porwnujac do dignics 80 jest odrobine wolniejsza, natomiast poziom kontroli jest znacznie wyzszy.
Mozliwosci gry krtkiej sa bardzo duze. Znacznie latwiejsza w otwieraniu petli niz dignics. Jedyny minus to gra w drugiej strefie prawdopodobnie przydaloby sie tu wzmocnienie choc nie jest to nie do zrobienia, wymaga po prostu odpowiedniego uderzenia. Wszystkim ambitnym graczom do polecenia.

Been using this rubber for 3 months, used this on the forehand. Really good rubbers from donic, easy to control and super easy to do loops. Maybe will try bluestar A1 for forehand and bluestar a2 for the backhand. Currently still using acuda s2 for backhand (also very good rubber) ?
