External Review for Donic Bluestorm Pro Am on February 29, 2024

Great rubber. Excellent balance between speed, spin and control, scoring well across each of these areas. Pairs beautifully with a Donic Persson OFF+ 89 World Champion Blade. Donic Bluestorm Pro AM is extremely good for looping, counter topspin, blocking, smashing, serving and touch play. I enjoy using it on my forehand side (max) but could also be happy with it on my backhand. It is a very fast rubber but is well controlled and much preferred to Tenergy 05 and Rasanter 47. Highly recommended for offensive play.

Just got done playing with this rubber on an inner carbon blade. The control is good for a rubber with this level of spin and speed but you can't play sloppy with it as I did a few times and made a fair share of stupid mistakes. Blocks are great and controlled (although I didn't get to play anyone who loops strongly). The spin is fantastic and doesn't take a lot to generate good spin even with my imperfect looping technique. Good control, touch, and nasty spin on loops and very strong put away power when you activate the catapult hitting hard. Medium high throw. As others have said it has a lot of gears and the speed depends a lot on your input, in contrast to a lot of euro/jap where the catapult is activated easier. So far I like it but I will update the review as I get more playing time in these were just my initial impressions. I didn't get to play anyone who loops strongly or plays a lot of backspin so stay tuned for when I play those kinds of people.

This rubber is a beast and the best i've ever played. You know its a very hard sponge but overall it doesnt feels like that. I am far away from professional tt and have still no problems to handel this rubber. The spin and touch is just AMAZING. The speed depends really on youre input, because the rubber has so many gears. Blocking with a little bit counter topspin is no longer a problem and the pushes are easy to play. There is only one problem: the premium price of >60.

Hi All! I have played with this rubber on my Backhand for more, than 3 months. This is indeed a PRO version. This means, that the packaging was drenched in oil, I have never seen a rubber so heavily facory boosted. The cover sheet was totally soaked in oil. I really welcomed this rubber, as I loved the M1 and played with Z2 at least for a year. Z2 had way less spin and arc, but it was kind of stable. This rubber is a true upgrade to Z2. It feels a bit more rigid, has a bit more arc, more spin and a bit more speed. Due to the heavy tooning it must be reboosted. If you like Z2 and need a bit more direct and aggressive version of it, thy this. I played with it mainly on BH. Tried it with YinHe DK-4 and DONIC Ovtcharov True Carbon.

Before I say anything, I must say that this is more of a forehand rubber. I am a fool to have used it on backhand, states 47.5 degree but definitely feels like 50 degree, I don't know if it is due to individual differences or anything. Firm feeling sponge and tacky topsheet, feels like 70% of a Chinese rubber, linearity in terms of both speed and spin, any passive blocks that you pray to hit are most likely to miss, requires a certain degree of strength and power for every stroke. However, the reward is amazing, fantastic control on topspin rallies, doesn't bottom out easily mid to far distance as did other rubbers I had. Need quite a bit adjustment if you move from regular euro/jap rubbers like tenergy, you can't expect work from the rubber without you putting in effort yourself. UPDATE just ended a 2 hour session with this rubber, this rubber is fantastic in terms of active blocking, exceptional control over full power loops from opponent, but one thing still stand is that you really need to give in quite some strength and power for every kind of stroke, maybe thats why it is a PRO version, this rubber is for those who have mastered their strokes enough to not rely on bounciness or blade or rubber to do the work for them.
