Donic Bluegrip C2

[Charbel]

Hi, has anyone here tried the Donic Bluegrip C2? If yes, I was very curious to know how durable it is and how much time does it need to wear out without protection sheets.

The topsheet will get really ugly in a few hours of play, I think this is a characteristic of the ESN C-touch topsheet. Probably black shows it much more than red, so if you care about it, you should get C2 in red. I didn't particularly notice a massive change in play due to this.
I did clean the rubber after every training and I did apply the white protection foil it came with all the time. I recommend you do the same.

Yes, the white protection foil is the best thing of the whole package.

I've used it for other rubbers for quite some time. Actually until I finally learned to use gravity to put those transparent plastic protective sheets bubble-free on my rubbers

Sorry for being negative, the rubber - I'm glad I tried. But the durability definitely is not its strong side.

That's funny since I do the same. That white plastic better than the "free" protection foils some shops give. The H3N glue side white plastic is pretty good as a protective foil too, almost the same 😅

Does this white protection sheet come with all other rubbers?

No, I think only C-touch ESN rubbers come with that white plastic on them. Normal sticky ESN rubbers (like Rakza Z) come with a transparent foil, non sticky rubbers usually don't come with any foil.

It lasted more than 3 months for me (3x2 hours training per week)
