Description
Donic BlueStar A1 has great potential to become the new star among the Donic table tennis rubber sheets because of its new technology.
The secret of BlueStar lies in its rubber sponge, it is completely different from all other sponges in the Donic rubber line. This new rubber technology is called “Optimized Energy Sponge”, or OPTE for short. A small-pored sponge that sets new standards in terms of elasticity and dampening level due to its special composition, and you can feel this technology instantly when playing.
The fantastic catapult and speed characteristics make Donic BlueStar A1 an exceptional product. The top sheet – unlike the successful rubbers of Donic’s Bluegrip C-Touch series – is only slightly sticky, but it is extremely grippy.
With a 52.5 degree sponge, the BlueStar A1 appears relatively hard but only at first glance. In the hands of professional players it quickly becomes a strong trump card. Nevertheless, ambitious table tennis players who are not active in the top classes can also enjoy BlueStar, although it is particularly recommended for players who practice intensively.Technology:
Former world champion Jörgen Persson is enthusiastic about this new development. “I have never before played such an excellent table tennis rubber,” explained the Swedish legend.
Recommended for: Ambitious, uncompromising offensive table tennis players.

Great rubber. Very fast with great speed and spin. Not for beginners and those with lazy strokes though! Since it’s fast and Throw angle is pretty high so you have to close the bat more when driving, blocking and counterlooping topspin to avoid setting up an easy smash or missing the table, but it’s easier to get it over the net when looping and flicking backspin and deadballs. I have it on the backhand and forehand and it’s super deadly when proper technique is used.. it has all the speed and spin anybody could need. You need pretty solid technique to use this rubber effectively. Update: I recently glued these on the donic original carbospeed and what a BEAST. It’s became more direct/less of a high throwing rubber when I glued it on there. Its very dynamic and your opponents are finished when you smash or loop with lots of spin. Good margin for error despite the mentioned features.
