Hina Hayata H2 Backhand ruber

Hey guys I bought (87g) Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 and I am not sure with backhand rubbers. I'm mainly trying to figure out the BH.

My BH is very topspin/counter-topspin oriented. I play mostly close to the table, around 0.5-1m, sometimes around 1-1.5m. I use a lot of wrist and forearm and normally play with a fairly closed racket.

I like playing the ball forward with spin and penetration. I don't mean punch/drive style when I say forward 😅 It's still a proper topspin, just not a huge high-arc loop.

I use chiquita quite a lot and obviously need to be able to open against backspin as well.

Some rubbers I've already played:

BlueGrip J2 MAX - it didn't really convince me. I could play with it, but I was missing more spin/heavy ball and especially more penetration.

Evolution MX-D MAX - I actually handle this fine now and it gives me noticeably more penetration than J2. So I'm definitely not afraid of harder rubbers or MAX sponge.

Tenergy 19 on Outerforce ALC - this was one of the responses I really didn't like. Sometimes it had this extra kick and the ball just flew off the table when I wasn't expecting it.

Glayzer 09C on Outerforce ALC - much more predictable, but for me it was too unrewarding. I wanted more from the ball when I actually accelerated.

So I'm basically looking for a BH rubber with a lot of spin and a heavy ball, good penetration, strong counter-topspin and good opening/chiquita.

I don't really care if it's a tensor or a hybrid. Actually I'd be very interested in a hybrid if there is one that has great spin/heavy ball but doesn't feel dead and still has proper penetration.

Nittaku Hina Hayata H2 rubber pairing

Hi, I am thinking switching from ZX Gear-IN to Nittaku H2. Which rubbers would you suggest to me in terms of FH and BH. I was thinking Bluegrip J1 on FH and Bluegrip J2 on backhand or the new infinity mx-s. I tend to close racket bit more for backhand. What do you say about this setup would you recommend me something else that does not require boosting? Also did not like MX-D I had quite hard time put the ball on the table compare to Bluegrip J2 (both backhand). Thanks in advance for recommendation.
