Z3 with its large pored 42.5° sponge is considerably softer. This makes a big difference. One not only feels it but also hears it. Lovers of freshly glued rubbers will delight in the sound. An attacking stroke with Bluestorm Z3 sounds like the crash of thunder, yet the topspin player remains in full control.
Feel the clap of thunder!

The best rubber I've tried at 42.5 degrees hardness. It's lighter than Rakza X Soft at the same hardness, with the same level of spin and speed, and every technique is easier to do than with Vega Europe or Vega Asia DF. In short: a lighter, easier-to-use Rakza X Soft.

Since the rubber is soft, it flies well even on light hits. Hitting hard feels a bit tough, but just meeting the ball still lands it properly, so it works well even for quick reflex shots. At this hardness, using it on the backhand is basically the standard, and I mainly used it there too. By the way, short-game techniques bounce a bit but you can still perform them properly. And the sound is really nice! It rings out with a high-pitched sound. Some online stores carry it, so if you're curious, give it a try.

This is insane✨ Even though it's only in the 4,000 yen range, it's easy to put spin on and the ball really extends, the stability is high, and — while plenty of rubbers are easy to spin — the ball doesn't fall off this one easily✨ At 42.5, power comes out easily whether you spin it fully or meet the ball flat, and there aren't many rubbers besides andro's Hexer Grip where you can sink the ball in and still not have it drop off, so I highly recommend this!
The Bluestorm itself is easier to handle on the backhand, but if a chopper uses it on the forehand, since it's soft the ball sinks in nicely and it's also easy to put spin on.Of course this goes for the other Storm-series rubbers too, but I think DONIC's strength is being able to produce the same results as a hard rubber despite being a soft one. So personally I think it's easy to move up from the Z3 or JP03 to the Big Slam!! I think a lot of junior high and high school students want to switch rubbers often but worry about the money, so I really want to recommend this to them!!!

Forehand side.
I felt like the G1's sheet didn't grip the ball well enough, so I switched. Buying this was the right call. Drives tend to arc quite a bit, and you don't get much of a flat trajectory (personally I like that).
No problems with the short game or playing away from the table either. It's reasonably priced too, so it's a good rubber.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

The sponge is rated 42.5, so the ball sinks in nicely and it felt great to hit with.
But the topsheet is hard, so it's not crazy soft overall — it's just the right hardness.
If there's anyone who finds the Bluestorm Z1 or Z2 too hard or hard to handle, I'd recommend the Z3. Compared to the Z1, the speed is a bit slower, but the amount of spin doesn't change much. Since it's somewhat soft, I'd recommend it for the backhand!All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

For some reason I used it on my forehand. The ball holds well, and swinging the way I normally do for drives, it turned into more of a loop drive. Since both the rubber and sponge are soft, I thought it wouldn't have much speed, but it actually produces fairly fast balls. I used it on the forehand, but I think it's better suited for the backhand.
I'd recommend this to people who want a stable drive, or who like to attack with drives that have a lot of spin.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

At 42.5 degrees it's on the soft side, but thanks to the fast ball release and strong tension,
it doesn't feel like it has the usual weaknesses of a soft rubber — it manages to combine ease of use with ease of spin?That's the kind of well-balanced rubber this is. The MAX+ version in particular has great balance.
The sound is nice too, spin is easy to generate, and the price is reasonable.
The control and ease of putting spin on the ball are especially impressive.It's basically suited for the backhand, but if you like really sinking the ball into the sponge,
or if you're a beginner/intermediate player or a female player, it should work well enough on the forehand too.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft
