Hey, i was playing with viscaria + h3 39º OS FH and dignics 05 BH, even though i was enjoying this setup, i tried an allwood setup (hayabusa off pro) with H3 FH and vega korea BH, at first i was feeling this setup really slow, like ball would go at slow motion, and this lead to me using a lot of effort in shots, but i had the impression that with this setup i had to choose my effort between speed and spin, so it was necessary to sacrifice spin so i could produce speed in the strokes, the blade was too soft, while with viscaria i could generate spin and speed simultaneously. At some point i was so angry with this setup, that i crashed it really hard on the floor and the blade was completely gone.
The thing is, i'm not becoming a pro, so i don't mind playing with a setup that isn't the best for me, i really enjoy playing stiff blades like viscaria, is there any problem to keep playing it? Most at my points comes from winners that other players can't return since the ball comes really fast and spinny. Short game with vis aren't a problem also, the only issue is the dignics 05 since i don't have a proper BH technique yet (still can't engage the whole body like i can in FH).
Is ok to a begginer to play viscaria? Can you guys give me advice to a controlled ruber to play in BH? Something linear, but not too soft(at least 45º), i have these rubbers on mind:
-Tenergy 19
-DHS 3-50
-Rakza 7
-Fastarc G1

If you want to try a tacky rubber on BH I would suggest Hurricane 8-80 37° (or H8-20 37°) instead of H3-50 or if you want to use something from Butterfly than Glayzer (grippy, easier to use than T19 or D05) or Glayzer 09C (slightly tacky, also more controlled and easier to play than D05 but needs good technique to fully utilize which might help to develop a proper BH technique).

You are definitely fine playing Viscaria as a beginner if you enjoy it and it works for your style. For backhand rubbers your list is solid. Rakza 7 and Glayzer are great options if you want something a bit easier to control than D05 or T19. Ultimately, stick with what feels good and helps you improve.
