A less spin sensitive alternative to Tenergy 05fx

Can someone recommend a less sensiyive to incoming spin alterneative to tenergy 05fx and something slightly less bouncy??  But still really spinny!  Soft or Hard but not DHS

I was thinking Aurus sound.  Dontlike Evolution does not last!!

Also considered 1.9 and 1.7 sponge instead.  Love the spin but sometimes lack control!

Tibhar Straus Power Wood
FH 05fx 2.1
BH 05fx 1.9

I don't know why but Xiom vega asia or Euro comes to mind for a backhand. I felt the transition from the vega euro to 05fx was almost seamless.

Donic Blue Fire JP 03 or 02 also comes to mind as being a spinny rubber with a bunch of control.

I just don't want to lose spin. if I have to work harder to open up on the backhand that is not a problem.
I just want a bit (lot if its possible) less sensitivity to fast spinny serves.
plus less catapult so I can keep the ball shorter when I drive, I have a very strong backhand drive but 05fx is a touch too bouncy.

I want this too - and I want it to be lighter.

In fact if it could be long pips and then morph into T05 after the return that would be fantastic :)

I'm somewhat tempted to try the spiniest short pips. Could I backhand loop with it?

In the end I think I just need to learn to return the fast spinney serves better.

Tibhar 5q sound

Hi yogi im glad you commented I like your reviews. I have just been reading about 5q sound.

other thing is I am fed up of paying £50 for tenergys

how catapulty is 5q sound? I almost think I need to go all the way back to aurus sound as I guess its less bouncy.

My early backhand and drive is my most consistent shot, im not a great player but for my level I can hit backhands with anything, however I don't want to lose that really spinny opening backhand against a long push on backhand.

PS - I have persevered with the TSPW and my serves have improved and I have adjusted to the bounce after about a month.

evo is too bouncy anyway. looks very tuned to me. I cant play with Chinese rubbers too slow. tried h3 neo and its too slow when I drive although it is spinny

I don't really need a really spinny rubber. used tibhar rapid for years and years

Tenergy 80 fits your requirements. Just choose your thickness...

Oh oh... You don't want Tenergy anymore...

I know this a bit far out, but I am considering tibhar super defence in 1.9mm I know it will be slow but it is spinny and a lot of my backhand speed is in my arm.
it wont be catapulty and bouncy

I am actually going to switch to a really slow rubber on my backhand. Probably Mambo H it is very allround but very insensitive to incoming spin.

an old rubber with worn out topsheet is the best you will find for this.
old tenergy would be great.

Omega V Euro. I m using this now for my Bh and its not as sensitive to incoming spin, but very good at opening up heavy Backspin.

if your technique is good you can get good spin from old tenergy.
