Medium hard rubber for backhand

This user has no status.
H8-80 was afair always available with specified sponge hardnesses: 37° and 38°
Normal H8 39°, 40° and 41° (formerly labeled with soft, medium and hard) but also available from some shops with 37° (e.g. dhs-729.eu, prott.vip or ttnpp.com)
which is harder? 37 degrees DHS(hurricane 8) or 38 degrees butterfly(glayzer)

my new find is k3 fx, before I used mk fx, fastarc g-1, glayzer, glayzer 09c and many more, Mk could also work, but I prefer k3 fx, it has softer top-sheet and the grip is amazing.
I have been thinking about trying MK fx for BH. How is the catapult?

The 2 most populair ones are:
-Rakza 7
-Fastarc G-1

Rakza 7 is a bit more bouncy, but less grippy. Probably easier to play on bh.
Fastarc G-1 is not as bouncy, but has more grip.

So more grip means more spinny, but also more sensitive to spin and vice verca.
G-1 is not spin-sensitive, imo that's one of its many advantages: grippy / spinny when you need it and able to control incoming spin when blocking / countering etc.

In my opinion, G1 is a good rubber for backhand on blades with a softer top veneer, such as limba. With blades with a harder surface, such as koto, and especially with carbon reinforcement right above the surface, G1 plays worse in my opinion - less ball dwell time and a harder feel.
Agree 100%. I loved G1 as a backhand rubber on my 5-ply limba Acoustic but did not like it on my SALC

Hi all,

Any advice/suggestions for a medium or medium hard rubber on a carbon inner blade fitting to points mentioned below?

-Easy to push and drive
-Not big of catapult effect
-Not to speedy
-Not to spin sensitive
-Good in touch- and short game
-(relative) good in serve receive (not to springy)

I don't do any power loops with my backhand.. I rely on a stable serve receive / drive/ push / block / slow spin in my backhand game. I mainly use my backhand for controlling, I like to be agressive with drives in combination with active blocking.
Dignics 09c could work. It worked well for me in terms of drives. I used to have that on a korbel with a h3 Neo.
