I uses Donic M1. I don't the above problem you described, In fact I love using Donic M1. It is one of those very grippy FH rubber.
Never tested the M1, but when it happens, it's because you engaged the ball to lightly, it's a common problem with esn rubber. Try to engage the sponge more and not the topsheet only.
Oh yes, I did. I gave it away to a club-mate coz I could not play with it. Somehow my FH topspin tend to go into the net. It is just too hard for me and I was not able to engage the sponge. The sponge hardness is listed as ESN scale 50. Although it is 2.5 ESN degree harder compared to regular M1, but what a difference it made.
I had this issue when I had Bluefire M2 on my backhand. Topspin shots would dive right to the bottom of the net. Flipped my racket over to the Fastarc G-1 that I had on the forehand and problem solved. So now I have G-1 on both sides and life is good......except for the tennis elbow that has me sidelined currently. How old is M-1? I think it just has a very short lifespan.
Idk... I usually use a more tacky chinese style rubber on forehand. Could it be because of the change of rubber properties? Im pretty weak for my age (15) lol
Yes, mine is how you have described yours. I think maybe its just a problem of sweat.. It starts off really well but after i wipe the dust off with my hand its a bit slippery.
Then use sweatband
Like the one around your wrist? Do you use it to wipe the rubber?
You can use it to dry the rubber a bit, provided you will find one will not leave stuff on the rubber. The main gist is to limit amount of sweat below the wrist.
Yeah it has a lot of spin potential when properly looped. It is a looper's delight / paradise. I'd say it is the go to rubber if you are a looper style player especially from mid to away from table. It is a pleasure to play loop-a-loop with this rubber.
