Runs Barracuda on the backhand with H3 forehand: an older rubber but very grippy, high spin, with very good control.

positivespinnygreat control

Has never gotten along with Baracuda: it doesn't feel linear to them and feels dated next to modern rubbers.

negative

Plays Donic Baracuda on the forehand of a Yasaka Sweden Classic with Rakza 7 Soft backhand and is happy with the setup.

positive

Switched their backhand from Baracuda to Rakza 7 to try something new but plans to go back: Baracuda's spin and grip are just so nice.

positivespinny

Tried several rubbers and Baracuda had the best feel, control and spin for them; they started out with Baracuda on both sides of an offensive wood blade and were really happy.

Has 10-year-old Baracuda sheets that still play well, but also 3-month-old ones that deteriorated quickly.

mixed

Used a friend's racket with Baracuda on the backhand and immediately fell in love, connecting many more shots with more spin and control.

positivegreat control

Plays Barracuda on the backhand of a Xiom Stradivarius: really nice and spinny, and good for blocking.

positivespinnysolid blocks

Used Barracuda on the backhand for two years: good for generating spin but lacks speed for the plastic ball.

mixedspinny

Has played a Donic Epox Offensive with Barracuda for about six years: amazing durability and spin, and they never think about upgrading.
