So i am looking for a new backhand rubber. I am looking for one that is very grippy, good for blocking and pushing. The weight of the rubber doesn't matter. I found out that a soft rubber isn't for me so any medium to hard sponge rubber will do fine. I want rubber from Yasaka, Nittaku, or Butterfly.

Have you tried Palio HK1997 Biotech?  Maybe a 40 - 42 degree sponge might work.  Doesn't cost much to test it.  Or maybe Dawei Inspirit Quattro Ultra Light in the harder sponge.

@silverhair: i want a grippy rather than a tacky chinese rubber

@bagung: i have tried the Coppa jo platin but i don't like it. that's why i'm looking for a new one lol. btw i don't think that the european tensors match my style. most of the european rubbers i have tried did not have that satisfying feel from putting a lot of spin on the ball


@yogi: i have tried the mendo mp on my friends racket. i didn't like it.

Consider Tenergy 05 if your bh is close to the table. I used it as my bh for RPB, it's spinny, with a little bit higher arch than Tenergy 25. The BH blocking feature is marvelous. A bit heavy though, if that's a con.
RPB Rocks!

Yasaka Mark V - medium hard sponge and very versatile.
 
Nittaku Refoma - my favorite back hand rubber; maybe a bit soft if you are looking for harder sponge.
 
Also try TSP Actor.  This rubber is marketed as a looping rubber.  However, it is a very grippy rubber and can create very spinny underspins on pushes.
