I like the concept of a softer tacky rubber. Has anyone used it? I'm curious how BlueGrip S2 plays.

Thanks!

Well, I tried the Donic BlueGrip S2 for about an hour. The rubber isn't very tacky, just slightly tacky. Not an incredibly fast rubber.
The search continues for a fh rubber that is very spinny, decent speed, and great control.
Does such a rubber exist?

Boosted H3

I have played recently with Joola Golden Tango PS and it might be close of what you are looking for. Not sure, if speed is enough for you. I have not played Donic BlueGrip S2, but Joola GTPS should be tackier, harder and faster.

If you truly want a FH rubber that is very spinny with decent speed and great control then try good old Tenergy 05. If you want a semi tacky rubber with the same attributes you could try Dignics 09C or Razka Z. Tenergy 05 has the highest arc and is easiest for FH to FH rallies. The throw on both dignics 09c and Razka Z are longer and lower then Tenergy 05.

Rxton 3 with Blue topsheet is pretty good. Very tacky, very hard topsheet and hard sponge but still has a bit of catapult to it, the sponge isnt dead like a H3 or Battle 2... it's far more lively and is noticeable for having great speed, great topspin kick off the table, and because the topsheet and sponge are so hard, it's impossible to bottom out... you hit harder, it goes faster!!

It works best on a stiffer / harder blade... It especially loves a super hard outer like Walnut. On my all wood Queensland Walnut model 5 ply, it just goes like the clappers!!

That's always what I'm looking for too. I've tried many, I always seem to come back to Victas 401, which works best for me... I find it the spinniest for slow high-loops and pushes.

Interesting, haggisv what about the durability, same league like Tenergy or Fastarc G-1?

For what it's worth, I ordered and received a sheet of Bluegrip C2 (not S2). Still haven't tried it yet. Let's see if the advertising hype is real. (Not holding my breath..)

And for what it's worth - I've been playing with the same sheet of Rakza Z for at least the last 6 months. This is the first rubber I've ever had that's remained tacky - tacky enough to pick the ball off the palm of my hand AND HOLD IT INDEFINITELY, not just for a few seconds - for more than two weeks to a month. Whatever ESN did to the topsheet - it's not the usual Chinese trick of a layer of glue, which wears off.

I bought the Bluegrip C2 some time back but just mounted it on a blade last week.

It's NOT what I thought it was. It's NOT a tacky rubber, nothing at all like Rakza Z. I find I'm having to modify my strokes somewhat. If I had to buy another sheet I'd probably go back to Rakza Z (unless I find something else that's tacky that sounds intriguing).
