Backhand dominant setup

This user has no status.
I am looking for advise on a setup I am recommending to my playing partner, he is a backhand dominant player and currently using custom yasaka racket with Mark V HPS. I am recommending the following setup:

Blade: Donic Waldner Dotec Carbon
FH: Tibhar Evolution MX-P
BH: Donic Barracuda

He needs the rubber to be good for Looping underspin (long serves, pushes) and short game (Flicks mostly).

What do you guys think?

Just try anything answer see how he plays. It is better to play with something you have tested and liked than you just spend money and see what happens.

He can loop with anything. Unless we see his technique, we can't say whether he should be using something this fast or not.

I am backhand dominant but with a looping bias, I just tend to put Tenergy 05 or Hexer on both sides.

This is a large scale of shots for tensor rubbers.... Go with dr echte or with tg3-60 which i think is the best bh rubber ever made.

Tacky rubbers require more effort for lifting backspin IMHO. The best way to make life "easy" is to go for a softish rubber: you can generate spin with modest effort. By "softish" I mean a softer version of some mainstream rubber.

I think the question is which rubber would be best for lifting heavy underspin/backspin.

I will to see if i can make a small video of him playing

Softer rubbers are usually better unless you have good arm acceleration. If lifting underspin is the goal, the Baracuda is usually good but he needs good technique on a variety of shots.
