The Acuda series has been developed for the fast offensive play with more emphasis on spin. Acuda S1 has been made for loop-to-loop play both close to and back from the table.
Spinny but non-tacky grippy topsheet with white sponge.Sponge is slightly softer and slightly more dwell time than tibhar aurus.Tibhar aurus is faster and bouncier. Feel free to comment.
I have just started using this rubber, I was recommended it as I hadn't played table tennis for a very long time. I was using Mark V rubbers back in the day.
I use this rubber on the backhand, so for me this rubber is more about control than speed as I tend to do loads of blocking on the back hand. I don't want the rubber to quick. I want a solid amount of spin and control as I want to feel the ball as much as possible. Donic have provided just that and it's feels great with just enough amount of control when blocking. The grip is solid when looping with the back hand and want to attack. I highly recommend the Donic Acuda S1.
Faster than Acuda S2, slower than Acuda S1 Turbo, with slightly less spin than the first two. Not as good as S1T for mid-distance or away form the table play, but better for 3rd ball attack. Also it is slightly lighter. Its durability is pretty impressive.
