I already use that for the forehand. This is for backhand
I'm sorry confused, try your Yinhe Jupiter Asia as BH, so you will know if you can manage hard rubbers for BH. If yes DHS H3 boosted is the most grippy inverted rubber and also very controlled but not for everybody as BH inverted rubber.

I've tried it on backhand before as i just flip my racket around. It's good but I'd rather have something a bit more lively. My j3A is also not boosted as i prefer not boosting

You can use the booster as a rubber refresher. Just one layer of baby oil or falco long/platinum will expand the sponge a bit and will put some spin on the topsheet. Also, the issue with rubber shrinking will be fixed. Baby oil is practically free but evaporates over time. Falco platinum will remain in rubber forever.

You're right, im good with losing a few aspects for other. The most important for me is just the grip and durability. Do those have good durability? Except the D05, already know thats great but too expensive
Sorry cant tell you for certain. Its my first sheet and basically new. Other Rubbers from the same Japanese Factory are above average durability wise

I've tried the normal stiga mantra m before, durability wasn't great. Don't think the pro version's durability would be any better
Fair, but you shouldn't compare the old Mantra to the new Mantra Pro. Mantra Pro is really nice to use, just like a 1 layer FTL boosted G-1, but the mantra, you don't need to boost. Also, very cheap on aliexpress.

Im sure it would be great but I kinda dont want to risk it (the durability)

Among hybrid rubbers, you can’t beat the original Big Dipper for the price. Choose the 38° version if you want a livelier feel. Compared to the J3A, which, with its low throw, is a great but rather specific rubber, BD has a higher, much more “middle-of-the-road” arc. Personally, I find it perfectly playable on the backhand, whereas I struggle to lift the ball with the J3A.
And yes: it is more durable than an average ESN (albeit consensus on g1 is that it is much more durable, too).
