Hello there, we usually use hard on fh so than when we giveout powerful spin it would go like a pounding hammer on your opponents blade, a medium hard rubber on bh to give us a balance control and spin and speed. Using a soft on bh will give you too much dwell, and difficult to control and it will be difficult for you when receiving tremendous amount of spin..and if you go mid distance counter on a soft it most of the time fall short when taking high spins. Using soft versions it learning skill on training is okay.

Hmm that's the problem that I encounter...

Yes i would advise that you go for a medium.. you will see a better result and dropping a ball will be lessen. A combination of a wood with a good dwell time + medium rubber on bh is better. A range from 36-39 degrees will be good.

Agree, but you have to base it on what level you are on. For a decent player with good technique, you could go with a standard combo like Clipper Wood + Tenergy :)

Clipper Wood is more to an all-out attacker, I'm a looper...
I think I cannot handle 7 ply blade than 5 ply. If I'm going to change my equipment maybe I'll choose Infinity VPS V, but still thinking about looping abilities....
Tenergy is too expensive for me, I can't afford it, so now I still stick to my Hurricane 3 NEO

Wich Tenergy would be best on Infinity VPS for the BH? I play with EVO EL-P now but want to try a tenergy ...
Most important is opening on underspin... I can block and counter fairly well .

I don't know the EVO EL-P, but if it's soft and you like soft rubbers then go for the FX version of 05, it's the best FX version I've tried.
If you like medium rubbers, try the 05 or the 80, both good. The 80 has longer trajectory, it's really all about preference :)

Okay now! Donic Baracuda, Vega Pro, Acuda S2, Rakza 7. Which of these is more suitable on an all-wood 5 ply flexible blade like Yinhe MC2?

They're all good, but it depends on the blade. If the blade is soft, then go for a medium rubber, you probably don't want a too soft combination.. If the blade is soft, go for a medium rubber like Rakza 7 or Acuda, the Baracuda is too soft for me. But that it just for me, you should try for yourself and see :)

Okay, RAKZA 7!

Because both rubbers are hard. As mentioned, I'm using a flexible blade, so the hardness of the rubber can compensate the flexiblity of the blade. It can also force the blade to 'sink in' more to generate more spin.

I had the same problem cuz I am using a flexible blade. I use Vega Pro on both sides in MAX thickness and it works really well. On my backhand rubber I put a little baby oil on it from time to time to keep a little soft.

stray away from those rubbers if you dont like one and use either tenergy 05 or hurricane neo 3 which gets more throw than tenergy but less pace and higher throw angle
