Donic Bluefire M2 – this is a table tennis rubber with inverted pimples, designed for uncompromising attacking and aggressive players (OFF, OFF+), seeking a perfect balance between speed, spin, and feel. With a medium-hard sponge (~45°, Medium), narrow long-pimple structure, and an extremely spin-sensitive topsheet, Bluefire M2 ensures high speed, maximum spin, and sensational feel, paired with a high trajectory arc. ITTF approved and made in Germany, this rubber features Formula FD3 technology and the iconic blue sponge, offering balanced dynamics suited to players valuing spin, speed, and control.

Donic Bluefire M2 features a dynamic, attack‑oriented construction:

• Sponge (medium-hard): Large-pore, medium‑hard sponge (~45°, Medium), softer than Bluefire M1 (~47.5°, Medium+) or Bluestorm Z1 (~47.5°), but firmer than Bluefire M3 (~40°, Soft+). Compared to Vario (~45°–50°, Medium) or Bluestorm Z3 (~42.5°, Soft+), the M2 sponge is closer to Vario but with a more modern structure, providing strong catapult effect and longer dwell time. Sponge thickness: 1.8 mm (ALL+, OFF‑), 2.0 mm (OFF), Max (OFF+), optimized for topspin, smashes, and looping.

• Topsheet: Thin, extremely spin‑sensitive topsheet with narrow long‑pimple structure, highly grippy but non‑tacky. Grip is superior to Vario Soft or Twingo Plus, similar to Bluefire M1 or Bluestorm Z3, ideal for 40+ plastic balls. Longevity ~80–100 hours of intense play, with routine cleaning using Donic cleaner.

• Formula FD3 technology: Modern tech combining blue sponge with a high‑tension topsheet, giving the rubber super‑dynamic performance, maximum spin, and a high flight arc. Unlike Bluestorm (Max+ Thickness) or Vario tech, FD3 targets speed, spin, and feel—compensating for the qualities of 40+ balls. Lifetime PLUS™ ensures durability.

• High trajectory arc: Bluefire M2 produces a very high, controllable arc—ideal for topspin and loops. Arc is higher than Vario, similar to Bluefire M3 or Bluestorm Z3, suited for close, mid, and long‑distance play.

• Spin sensitivity: Moderately sensitive to incoming spin due to medium‑hard sponge, allowing spinny blocks—but technique is required against strong loops.

The rubber weighs ~50–55 g (2.0 mm, trimmed), similar in weight to Bluestorm Z3 (~50–55 g), lighter than Bluefire M1 (~55–60 g) or Bluefire Titanium (~85 g/m²). Available in red, black, and blue in accordance with ITTF rules. Recommended water‑based glue (e.g., Donic Vario) and protective film.
Technical ratings:

• Speed: 110 (high). The rubber is very fast, suitable for topspin, smashes, and looping. Slightly slower than Bluefire M1 (112) or Bluefire M1 Turbo (~115), but faster than Bluefire M3 (107) or Bluestorm Z3 (107). Some sources rate it 9+/10 or 110/120.

• Spin: 112 (high). Extremely spin‑generating topspin, backspin, and service. Comparable to Bluefire M1 or M3 (112), slightly lower than Bluestorm Z3 (116). Some sources rate 10+/10 or 112/120.

• Control: 94 (medium). Higher than Bluefire M1 (92), lower than Bluefire M3 (96) or Bluestorm Z3 (98), suited for precise shots with technique. Some rate 8/10 or 94/120.

Flight trajectory: Very high, controllable arc ideal for topspin and loops. Users praise “balance”, “spin”, and “feel”, but note limited control for beginners and average longevity (~2–3 months).

Comparisons:

• Bluefire M1: Speed 112, Spin 112, Control 92. Harder (~47.5°), faster—offensive.

• Bluefire M3: Speed 107, Spin 112, Control 96. Softer (~40°), slower—ALL+.

• Bluestorm Z3: Speed 107, Spin 116, Control 98. Softer (~42.5°), spinny—ALL+.

• Vario Big Slam: Speed 96, Spin 100, Control 99. Much slower (~35°), ALL.

Bluefire M2 stands out with its perfect balance of dynamics, spin, and control for aggressive attackers.

Compatible with attack-type blades:

• Donic Ovtcharov No. 1: Max speed, OFF+

• Tibhar Stratus Powerwood: Dynamic, OFF

• Butterfly Timo Boll ALC: Spin‑speed blend, OFF+

• Stiga Offensive Classic: Balanced control, OFF–

• Donic Waldner Senso Carbon: Spin‑focused, OFF

Best used on OFF or OFF+ blades—too fast for DEF or ALL. Suited for forehand or sometimes backhand, especially forehand for dynamics.

Target players:

• Uncompromising attackers (OFF, OFF+) who value spin, speed, and feel.

• Aggressive spin‑oriented play—suitable for FH or BH attacks, loops, smashes.

• Close, mid, and long game: effective topspin, loops, smashes.

• Serves & returns: grippy topsheet for spin serves, control for returns with technique.

• Topspin & looping: max spin and high arc for aggressive play.

• Blocking: medium control, requires technique.

Effectiveness ratings:

• Topspin: 9.7/10

• Looping: 9.6/10

• Smashes: 9.4/10

• Serves: 9.2/10

• Blocking: 8.9/10

• Returns: 8.7/10
  Less suitable for beginners. Reviews highlight “balance”, “spin”, and “feel”.

Summary points:

• Speed (110): High, ideal for loops and smashes.

• Spin (112): High, efficient in spin strokes and serves.

• Control (94): Medium, fits precise shots with technique.

• Topsheet: Thin, extremely grippy—max spin.

• Sponge: Medium-hard (~45°), strong catapult feel.

• Dynamics: Formula FD3 compensates 40+ challenges.

• Arc: High, ideal for topspin.

• Durability: ~80–100h with care.

• Price: Competitive for high-end rubbers.

Limitations:

• Control (94): Too low for beginners or blocking.

• Technique required for loops/blocks.

• Moderate spin sensitivity to powerful loops.

• Lifespan: Rubber wears in ~2–3 months.
