I use this rubber on my backhand (red) in 1,8mm. This rubber is absolutely amazing when it comes to spin. So if you like to loop, or even chop, this rubber will do wonders. It's also very good if you like to lob away from the table. This rubber isn't very fast, so it's pretty much the perfect rubber for beginners. Note; The Akkadi Taichi is SUPER tacky. It's just as tacky as H3. (I have not tried the "black sponge" version)
