Pros
  • Great Punches
  • Great Speed
  • Great Control
Cons
  • Easy to Tear
  • Spin Sensitive
I used this rubber on the backhand side of my Waldner Senso Carbon and I've got to say, the rubber is fantastic!

Blocks and punches are great with the Acuda S2. The speed of the ball projected is fast but not too fast that it's uncontrollable. Touch playing is absolutely great, I can control the ball wherever I want with the Acuda S2 as it has quite a lot of gears, very versatile.

Looping and topspinning is great but not as great as something like Bluefire M1. It doesn't create that good of an arc than for instance, the Bluefire.

Counter-topspinning is quite hard to do as the rubber is quite sensitive to incoming spin. This also means that you have to have a really deep understanding of spin to counter spinny serves.

Despite all of this, you really need to be careful not to hit the edge of the rubber to something like the edge of the table. It can really tear it out piece by piece until the whole outer layer is torn. But the rubber takes a long time to wear off.

However overall, this is one hell of a weapon! Recommended for people who really want power from their shots but still maintaining the ability to control the shots coming in and out in an excellently elegant fashion.

Pros
  • Top Control
  • Durable
Cons
  • Beginner Only
A rubber designed for only beginners. The rubber is slow and not spinny which is perfect for people who are just starting our table tennis. Gives you the ability to control the ball wherever you want to whilst producing the minimal amount of speed and spin for starters.

Definitely not recommended for experienced players looking for speed and spin.

Pros
  • All Around Even
  • Extremely Hard
  • Bounces High
Cons
  • Too Fast
  • Rapidly Wears
  • Weirdest Sound
I bought a packet of 3 G40+ balls and I have to say, this is the weirdest ball I have ever tried in my career.

First, the sound of the bounce is extremely high pitched that it almost sounds like a cracked ball and honestly hurts our ears.

Second, the bounce is one of the highest ever. Bounces higher than normal plastic balls and even celluloid balls.

Third, the speed of the ball is extremely fast. Faster than normal 40+ balls. Literally feels like the speed of the 38mm balls but less spin. Definitely not normal.

Fourth, although it's extremely hard, it wears off easily. Your reaction to this might be: 'wha? Table tennis balls can wear off?'. I know, it might sound weird but after a few hours of playing, the ball sort of looses its grip to the ball and tends to skid across the table. Only capable of a few hours and it's done. Again, it doesn't break, it wears off, just like how table tennis rubbers do, but in a much much much faster scale.

Despite all these negative aspects, the only thing the ball shines in is the roundness and hardness. However, although its roundness and hardness is achieved, the basic fundamentals of table tennis balls in definitely not achieved.

Cons
  • Slighty wobbly
  • Lower bounce
Great, always expect great quality balls when it comes to Donic products. Very hard, durable and plays well. When testing, a slight wobble during the spin and it doesn't bounce as high as the balls from Butterfly. However, overall, impressed!
