I use a Tornado V5 (Fh) and a T88 on backhand and I wanna change my rubbers, I choose an Battle II ( blue sponge ) for fh and a Hurricane 8-80 for the bh, but i don't know if this is good for me. On forehand I like to attack and defend and on the backhand I'm more defensive. I got other rubbers options and I wanna know your opinion:
Hurricane 8
Hurricane 3 / 3 neo
Yinhe big dipper / mars II and Jupiter III
Sanwei target nacional ( blue sponge ).
( If you have any recommendations please recommend rubbers that can be found on AliExpress, rubbers in my country are kinda expensive,I can't boost my rubber bc booster is so expensive booster in my county. Thanks! )

Tks! for Fh you think its better a H8, battle II provincial or the Sanwei targe pro national ?
Battle and Sanwei target are slow rubbers without boosters and are not tensor... You'll find it strange to go from a V5 (tensor and practically non-tacky) to one of these rubbers (non-tensor and very tacky). I'd only recommend one of these two if you're using a booster. This will have a big impact on your style of play too, you'll have to adapt more to a Chinese style of play with one of these.

I don't know anything about the H8, but they say it's faster than the H3 and H3 NEO without a booster.

H8-80 even 37d still feels quite hard on BH and requires aggressive strokes or you will dump balls to the net.

Look for something non-tacky.

For FH H8 possibly would work better as it's a bit more elastic than Battle 2 BS

I think the Big Dipper would be a better FH option for you, it's tensor like the V5 and has a bit of tackiness just like the V5, but it's much better than the V5! If you like the feel of the tensor v5, go for it! Now if you want to try something non-tensor and very tacky on your FH, I think that without using a booster the H8 would be the best option. Jupiter 3 Asia is also a good option for the FH, it has no tensioner, is tacky and comes factory boosted!
