Hi George,

Normally you are looking for a rubber with a grippy surface to generate the spin.  A lot of the Chinese type rubbers do this effectively.  I think the best combination is a Chinese type surface with a softer sponge which will give you the control as well.

I think the Tackifire Special is a little hard to generate enough spin.  You also want a blade that is a little softer to allow the ball to stay on the bat a little longer.

I wouldn't recommend one particular bat as there are so many around.  Ask your dealer what they have that matches these characteristics.
