I'm currently using Yasaka Extend for my Bh (2.0), but feel that it might be a bit fast for me. I like the spin and I have no problem looping underspin, but tend to go long in rallies and feel that the rubber is a bit too fast.

What would be a good rubber to get instead? I will like to keep as much of the spin as possible since most of my serves are BH serves and I like to loop underspin very often. I just need something a bit slower.

I was thinking Sriver or Sriver EL (no glues). The price is nice (I already spent a lot of $$ on my forehand's Tenergy 05) and it might not be too different from the Xtend.

Any opinions?

1,8 instead of 2.0? Or try the softer version of Etend.

If you like mild tacky rubbers, try HK1997 Biotech 36-38 deg or Gambler Shadow.  They are slower than Yasaka Extend and fairly easy to do the opening controlled loop.  On top of that, they costs only $14 each.
 
If you'd prefer BTY rubbers, then Sriver EL would be a better choice.
