Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia (40 deg) - FH or BH?

[ma_short]

Question for Chinese rubber experts. I ordered Yinhe Jupiter 3 Asia (40 degree) to try on my training blade, it's still in shipment by Aliexpress. It was meant to be for the forehand side (hence the hardness). But now I started to think that since I am still very much in the process of proper stroke development, I should just stick to the same FH rubber on both setups (DHS H3Neo), as going from commercial H3N to Yinhe J3A would be too much of a difference between the two setups, so counterproductive for development. Am I right in thinking that?

I use Rakes Z on my BH on the other blade, so I am used to hybrid rubber on BH, so I could just use Yinhe J3A on BH, but I am wondering if 40 degree would be too hard for BH? Any thoughts?

Thank you

I think its hard for bh, and its a bit too tacky for bh as well. I would use it on FH

I know a guy who uses j3 asia 40 degree on backhand. He says its good. But it all depends based on preference.

I use J3 asia 39 deg on the BH side of my Inner 75, and it works with some trade offs. The spin is excellent, but the speed is kinda slow, and you have to be very active with your strokes. I think it could be very good for developing an active BH before moving on to something faster.

I've had some quality issues with Jup 3 on Ali. It used be my fav FH rubber but after placing an order for 3 more 39 degree sheets on Ali (same store as before), I noticed they were noticeablely harder and even felt heavier on my v14 Pro. That caused me to find other alternatives and I've now landed on Hurricance 3 Neo.

Great rubber if you are able to get them in the expected hardness

Thanks all. I think I am going to try it on BH in combination with H3N on the FH. I can always flip the racket around to test it on FH too. Fingers crossed I won’t get it even harder than expected (softer would be a nice surprise).
