Hi Team. Im looking for a New rubber i dont have much time to be on the search so im asking here

I have been playing with Hurricane 3 in the forehand and Dignics 09c in the backhand for long time. I don't have much time/patient to be boosting H3 anymore, so i'm playing Victas Triple Double Extra in the backhand/forehand but is a little too hard for the backhand feels good and it has many advantages over D09c but is slow it needs to be a tad softer like 43 to 45, i'm looking for a real Hybrid not like K3/Bluegrip/D09c that have a grippy slighly sticky top, i'm looking for a rubber with real Chinese Sticky Top Sheet+Tensor like Victas Double Triple Extra(Chinese Sticky Top Sheet and tensor), NIttaku Hurricane Pro(DHS H3 top sheet plus tensor sponge). Can you guys recommend any brand/model. I'm using now the Joola Zhou Qihao 90 which is hard, and it does not like very hard rubbers in the backhand, needs to be 40 to 45 degrees shore A (Chinese scale) to be playable.

If I've read you correctly you are now using Victqs Triple Double Extra on FH and just need a BH rubber?
Have you tried Rakza Z? It's tacky with Tensor sponge.
Other sticky rubbers that may work are Yinhe Jupiter Asia III or Big Dipper in 38 or 39 sponge hardness...

Thanks for your suggestion. Rakza is awesome so is Dignics 09c, and Dignics 05 in the backhand but im done with the grippy top sheets only last one month and after that you either need to buy another sheet or you keep the rubber with almost no grip anymore for that reason im looking for a tensor + sticky chinese top sheet. Yeah i need only backhand i like the Victas Triple Double Extra in the forehand but for the backhand is awesome with reduced speed is not a good combination with a hard blade like the Zhou Qihao 90. I could probably use any Chinese rubber (H3 37, Friendship, etc and be happy with it but my issue is with boosting i'm reluctant to be doing that anymore

Rakza Z is definitely not the slowest but slower than D09C and this is not just because it's tackier than D09C.
Codexx EL Pro 52/EF Pro 54 may work but is also from ESN like the RZ. Similar tackiness, a bit harder (52°/54° ~ 39°/40° Shore A vs 50° ~38° Shore A), lower arc, and faster than RZ.
If my memory serves me well than speed ranking would be D09C > Codexx > RZ when hit appropriately.
Real Chinese tacky topsheet with a bouncier sponge? Hurricane 8-80 but this is also not the fastest.
Otherwise 729 Battle 3 might work unboosted.

Thanks for your input, my issue is with grippy top sheets like Rakza, Dignics the grippiness goes away and the precision is not the same after a month, im into sticky chinese style top sheets and i only play with that now i found way more advantages than the grippy style. I can use a Chinese rubber but i dont have time/willingness to be boosting anymore. So i was looking for a rubber like Nittaku Hurricane Pro/Victas Triple Double extra (Sticky real chinese top sheet plus tensor). I use the Victas Triple Double(Shore A 45) extra in the backhand but i has no synergy with the Zhou Qihao 90 blade (hard rubber on hard blade), the rubber is perfect in all sense but the speed is too slow my specific Zhou Qihao blade Seems to like anything Shore A 40 degrees and down like Dignics 05. I don't know if there is such a rubber for that reason i'm asking.

it's not a tensor, but the Loki Arthur China seems to be what you are looking for. It is kind of chinese, the topsheet is sticky but not more sticky than Rakza Z and it plays more like a tensor/hybrid than a regular hurricane that is unboosted. One would argue that the Loki Arthur China is one of the chinese rubbers that can play very well without being boosted. You wrote that you want a softer tensor sponge, but i believe if you played with chinese rubbers already, you will be able to activate the LAC easily.

If you dont want to boost, DF volant phoenix might be best bet.

Jupiter 3, big dipper, or arthur china are great too

The advice for a no boost FH Chinese rubber here is usually Battle II, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
I have only played against it, and I can attest it is proper spinny
