Carl, how spinny and speedy is baracuda compared to tenergy? I always feel tenergy is a tad too springy but i love the easy spin it gives me.

Not fast but darn good spin.

How about DHS Skyline TG3-60? (Medium Soft)

That is worth trying. I don't know how it plays. I have never tried it. But Skyline with a softer sponge would fit the bill. Go for it. Tell us how you like it.

I think one of these days for kicks, I'm gunna take a cheepo old used Chinese rubber, tune it to the gills with lighter fluid, set it aflame, and take a video of me playing a match with that sucker for as long as I can before the building fire alarm causes a mass-evacuation, the sucka melts into nothing, or the building owner sicks his Goon Squad on me to exit the facility - whatever comes first.

it has a lot of spin but is not too spin sensitive so it has good control as well
this rubber was released about 4 years ago so you wont have that insane bounce you get from bluefire or tenergy
as for flicks i dont personally play them but theyre probably quite good too
overall awesome rubber that allows you to do basically any shot at slow to maximum speeds

I can vouch for donic baracuda on BH, I love it, if you brush the ball well you can create ridiculous amounts of spin but like Carl says it isn't that fast and it is quite a hard rubber.
This rubber has really helped me develop by bh. It has a really high throw angle (higher than tenergy) but you'll get used to it :). It also seems heavier than most rubbers especially in max.. but again you'll get used to it.
