I'm searching for a rubber with same spin but a little sensitive for spin.
I play modern defense.
Can someone help me with this?

An alternative for a Baracuda is a T05FX.
In the 42.5 degree category you also have the 5Q VIP, 1Q sound, the Tibhar Grip S Europe S and many more.
Adidas P7 despite being harder feels quite similar but more dynamic. It didn't work for me on the FH and was too lively on the BH.
If you were looking for a little insensitivity to spin but where happy with the lower throw than the T05 series a T80FX could be an option.
If you were looking for a value rubber Bribar in the UK have the Tibhar on special offer at the moment but unsure how it would work on the FH with a LP on the BH. Since it's of medium tack imagine it would be sensitive to spin but has a good throw.

What you're probably looking for it a no or low tack rubber with a medium to high throw given that you probably have a slightly stiff blade for the LP.
Might be worth looking at the Joola Maxxx 450 which is priced at €33 at Celtic Table tennis.
Haven't played with the 1Q sound.

I assume you meant "less sensitive to spin", right?

I tried p7 but i found it to bouncy.

I would agree with Multispoke that Tenergy (T05FX or T80FX) is a good (but expensive) option.

Joola Max450 or Rythm 425 are supposed to be quite insensittive to spin as well, also Victas V01 Limber. These are probably little faster than Baracuda.

I think V01 is quite different from baracuda, lower throw, quite less spin, really spin insensitive (one of the less sensitive among modern rubbers).

An idea could be JP01, i think it has same spin but i find it's less sensitive than bacacuda when chopping and blocking, althought it's been a while since i played baracuda... it's only a bit harder than baracuda, the problem is that JP03 is way softer and has not same performance.

It's always difficult to find a rubber which produces same spin but it's less sensitive to it... better options are probably tenergies...

I think T05 and T05FX are more sensitive to incoming spin than Baracuda.

I think the sensitivity is at least initially caused by tackiness, and then dwell time and mechanical friction, so I would say look for a rubber that is less tacky, or maybe similarly non-tacky, with similar mechanical spin, but harder sponge for less dwell time.

You might try Nittaku Narucross GS Soft. It is pretty insensitive.

Thanks for al the advice.
I thinking of trying the nittaku nagrosse soft or the tenergy 05fx.
I play with a grubba all- so i think the tenergy05fx suits best.
