Suggestions: Chinese style forehand rubbers for ~$30 (penhold), I can get more expensive ones since I'll be using taobao

I am really disappointed in tackiness of commercial (and actually provincial and national also) H3 orange sponge...even boosted it just doesn't spin the ball as well as BS.

Battle II provincial blue sponge is cheaper and does things similarly or even better (it surely is more tacky than current h3). And it's cheaper a bit
I agree about the commercial H3, but I found my sheets of Provincial BS H3 to be tacky and the spinniest rubber i ever tried. I’ve had a go with a battle II blue sponge before on a friends racket and it was decent but i felt nothing can match the spin of H3

BS is still good and spinny, yes
