About Bluefire M1
Bluefire M1 (Combined speed 94, spin 90, control 76, 50°) is the attacking Formula sheet. M2 is the looping step; M3 is softer; Turbo is a later M1 variant.
It is not BlueGrip. BlueGrip adds a tackier topsheet. Coppa is a different generation. MX-P is the Tibhar rival in the same German price band.
Buy M1 if Formula Bluefire is already in the bag and you want the hard version. Buy MX-P or R47 if you want a current named/numbered ladder instead of an older Formula spare.

Factory thicknesses
Factory sponge thicknesses sold in Europe: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, MAX. These are shopping facts — Combined speed / spin / control on this page do not change with thickness.
- 1.8
- 1.9
- 2.0
- 2.1
- MAX
- 1.8
- Thinner inverted sponge. Allround and first-upgrade backhands live here more often than attacking forehands.
- 1.9
- The usual club backhand thickness on inverted tensors. A bit more control, a bit less catapult than 2.1 / MAX.
- 2.0
- Mid-thick. Common on the backhand when MAX felt lively, or as a two-wing compromise.
- 2.1
- Still a thick attacking sponge. A small step down from MAX on some tensors — shops treat it as the other FH thickness, not a control sheet.
- MAX
- Thickest factory sponge. Most catapult on a tensor; the usual attacking forehand. Combined figures on this page are for the SKU, not a separate MAX score.
