A comprehensively thinner top surface rubber, subjected to high tension, allows space for a thicker sponge - generating extra power and speed.
The DONIC Bluestorm Series offers noticeably greater acceleration whilst retaining its outstanding spin and speed characteristics, making the latest trend.
The thinnest sponge is 1.9 mm, middle sponge thickness is 2.1 mm - and the thickest variation is called max+, because this sponge is even thicker than previous max versions.
Bluestorm is available in five versions. Select your own Bluestorm!DONIC Bluestorm Big Slam: The Sound Machine

I use this on the backhand, 2.1mm thickness.
It's supposedly the soft version at 42.5 degrees, but it's not too soft at all.
I use Bluestorm Z1 on my forehand and the feel suited me well, so I tried this rubber, which has higher control, for the backhand.
When I hit with it, the first thing I noticed was that it makes a metallic sound on contact that feels really good — the sound from back in the speed-glue days.
It has a moderate amount of bounce, spin is easy to put on, and topspin drives and the short game aren't a struggle either. It's such a well-made rubber that it's almost strange how few reviews there are on other sites. I recommend it with full confidence.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

Orange light (Experience: 6〜10 years) Has an "auto" feel, flies but stays controlled — my personal god-tier rubber

I used the 2.1mm on my backhand.
It feels like it can do everything — drives are easier to lift than with C1, and I get the sense that a good ball goes over with less of a swing than C1 needs. Overall there's an automatic feel to it, and it feels like you can send out a good ball with less effort. That said, a stop done by just touching the ball tends to float up quite a bit, similar to Red Monkey Spin. But if you put spin on it, the stop stops floating, so I think it's something you can manage with practice. The speed is there and the sheet performance is high too, so please do give it a try.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Soft

I use this on my backhand. It's a soft rubber, but the sheet is still firm, so it's easy to do not just meeting shots but also topspin drives and blocks. That said, pushes and short-game shots felt a bit floaty and hard to control, though I think that's fine once you get used to it.

I used this on the backhand side of my Liberta Synergy.
My impression was that it's easy to put spin on with a light touch, and blocks carry through nicely.
Backspin balls also lift easily and the ball doesn't slip on the surface.
The arc trajectory feels like a medium arc, so meeting the ball flat is easy too, and various techniques are easy to pull off.
It doesn't have any standout feature, but it's a well-rounded, solid all-arounder.
As for the sound, it's on the flat side — you only really get a good sound when you swing all-out.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Little soft

There's nothing particularly outstanding about it other than control. But that's exactly what makes it so easy to use. Spin that's easy to generate consistently, and speed that's slightly toned down, making it easy to keep the ball on the table. I'd really like to recommend this rubber to people who never quite click with any rubber they try, people who want to discover their own strengths, and people whose fine backhand technique isn't stable. I think I'll keep using this for a while. There might be something to discover, and it's simply easy to use and suits me well.
*The blade I'm using is a Tenor, but I've modified the grip to a Chinese-style penhold. So this ends up being a test with it attached to the backhand side of a penhold blade.

I use this at 2.1mm on my penhold forehand.
As for softness, pressing on the rubber it feels about like Vega Europe.
Spin is decent, speed is passable.
Compared to Rasanter R42, which also uses a 42° sponge, this one feels a bit softer.Two strengths:
① It's not affected much by incoming spin
② Because it's soft and the ball sinks into the sponge well, even in a rushed situation the rubber's own power helps get the ball back onto the opponent's side
Personally, ② is the main reason I use it.It's true that this rubber's MAX numbers are lower compared to other rubbers like Dignics, Tenergy, G1, or Rasanter.
But in an actual match, there are fewer situations where you can use full power than situations where you're jammed up or can't get into a solid stance — and for that, I personally find Bluestorm BS, which raises the floor at the low end, easy to use.I think it's best used on the backhand, but women, junior high schoolers, and people like me with a slower swing can use it on the forehand without issue.

A friend told me to give it a try,
so I tried pairing it with my Violin C,
and it matched incredibly well.
That said, I don't think it's suited for beginners.
I felt that intermediate players and above could bring out its full potential without any issues. For 4,000 yen, this quality
really surprised me. It's easier to use than Fastarc or Tenergy, yet I felt the performance was on par with them.
Since not many people use it, there's also the benefit of being harder for opponents to read.
It's good enough that you might wonder, "This is such a great rubber, why doesn't everyone use it?"
I can recommend it with confidence.
I think it's a rubber that works well for a wide range of players, from intermediate to pro.All Speed Spin Control Hardness Hard
