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.

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.
