Playng with OC, nice looping blade, very nice, but I'm looking for a blade the same weight and a tad faster please. I was thinking about the optimum plus, as it is built from the offensive classic, well that is what they say about the blade... Maybe a soft carbon blade? I dont know, I'm a looper close to the table mid-distance, no need for much power, just speed please, playing with IQ Ul on Bh and Boost Tc on FH. So, I'm waiting for your infinite knowledge, dear mytt members...

Well does soft carbon blade kill the feel? I mean, I have a wonderful feel with OC, but the blade is too slow. Some people recommended me Optimum plus, but maybe I should just keep my blade, and practice on arm speed... I don't know...

carbon blades feel a little different, but they do have some feel...
maybe you should try faster rubbers like tenergy.

I have the same style as you and I have used both the Stiga OC, Gatien Extra.  I would rank the following looping blades that I use/used in terms of speed from fast to slow.  Note that the Carbon blade has a slightly lower throw than the 5 plys but not so much that it will tamper with your stroke...... you may want just a slightly higher throw rubber to match the throw of the others.  All but the OC I currently use.
 
Balsa Carbo X5
Avalox BT555
Gatien Extra
Stiga OC
Viscaria, H3 Neo, Coppa X1 Gold
7p2a-7t, TG2 Neo, Acuda S2

Well boost tc is fast enough, but maybe not IQ UL, but for the blade, it loops perfectly, but not fast enough, I'm really thinking about getting a soft carbon blade...

well you have...
ma lin carbon soft (i have not used it)
waldner senso carbon (really good, very thin carbon layers, faster than gatien extra but not too fast).
you should use waldner senso carbon with softer rubbers cause it will feel a little harder than your current blade
