Looking for a fast backhand rubber with good spin

I’m currently using a Yinhe Pro 01 blade and recently got a Yinhe Moon Speed for my backhand. I really like the speed of the rubber and how well it performs for blocking, flat hitting, and receiving serves. I also like the low arc it produces. However, the spin feels a bit weak for my liking, which is probably expected given how fast the rubber is.

I understand that faster rubbers generally sacrifice some spin, but since the Yinhe Moon Speed is quite affordable (around $10 USD), I believe there might be other rubbers that offer similar speed with better spin.

I’ve read that Dignics 64 is also very fast, but it’s a bit too expensive for me. I’m looking for something around the same price range as the Yasaka Rakza 9. Would Rakza 9 be a good alternative?

Does anyone have any recommendations?

he comes from Yinhe. Hence recommending G1, Rakza XX, 9 etc pricing will send shock to his central nervous system. OP may experience nervous breakdown.

Don't repeat my mistakes. I tried a lot of inexpensive сhinese rubber and couldn't find one that worked for my backhand. You'll end up spending more money on experimentation.
There are excellent and relatively inexpensive rubbers from Nittaku (Fastarс series), Yasaka (Rakza series), Xiom (Vega series), and even Butterfly (Glayzers and Rozena). Choose something from this that is on sale in your region at a good price.
Alternatively, you can try out the rubbers of your tennis friends. It's best if they're players who are higher in skill than you
The pleasure of saving money will last much less than the pleasure of playing with high-quality equipment you can trust.

The 729 Battle III with H38 may be not bad, for me it is best of cheaper chinese alternatives. It has higher throw than most other, FH-oriented rubbers while retaining good spin. I used it with Falco Tempo Long. For me its spin was most important as I use backhand serve a lot. However, Xiom Vega pro Hybrid still played better for me on backhand, but is twice more expensive.

Battle 3 is a good rubber. I have used it on someone else blade when I come from a HN3 and O9C background. Seemed a lot easier to me.
