End my EJ'ing

I'm new to the forum but have benefitted heaps over the last few months using the forum as a resource. So thanks - got me really excited about playing TT!

Thought I would ask for some advice to end my 6 month EJ'ing journey. I set out into the world of custom blades on a budget and have tried 3 different blades and a bunch of rubbers - all on a budget so mostly chinese stuff.

Blades I own:

DHS PG7 

Galaxy V-14 

Galaxy N9

Out of those I happen to love the N9 the most - probably for the satisfaction of a stiff OFF/OFF+ with bullet like hits and smashes. And probably for the 5 ply wood feel. I've realised though that I need a slower blade with more flex/dwell to keep improving. 

I'm thinking of trying a Galaxy Earth.1 - a kind of 5-ply HK/HH3/P500/Old-OC type blade (koto-spruce-ayous-spruce-koto). What rubbers would you suggest to improve my looping play?

Rubbers I have access to: 

Black: H3N (though accidentally spilt glue on it),  Big Dipper,  Focus 3 snipe, 2008 Super XP, Galaxy Venus. 

Red: TG3, LKT Pro XP, CJ8000 36 degree, Rakza 7, 2008 Super XP

I've found that 180g is my limit as to what I can play with effectively.

Would love your review of the earth.3 especially for looping, pushing, flicking and how fast/slow it might be. I was hoping for something slower than N9 but not so slow that it would feel dead in comparison to the OFF/OFF+ blades I have gotten used to. I wonder how it compares to the W-6 which I thought might be a tad slow for me. 

H3N/Rakza could end up a bit head heavy. I was thinking that I would probably need one of the lighter rubbers to balance out a heavy one: F3Snipe, Venus, ProXP are the lighter ones. Backhand would probably be one of those.

The Earth 3 is essentially the same structure as the Butterfly Petr Korbel just with Spruce instead of an extra Limba on the medial plies. Feel free to TTDB that one to maybe get a better idea. It's the best feel in a blade I have ever experienced and the weight very light. You can feel a bit of flex which, if you use it right, allows you to have some more gears as far as looping in concerned. Push is very accurate and one of my signature strokes is a very quick short stroke backhand loop close to the table, it does wonderful for this so it doesn't take a big strong stroke to engage some decent spin. 

I don't block or hit much so I can't comment on that really. Heavy Chop is decent though I'm not a very good chopper but I suspect it might need to be heavier to get this type of defensive usage of it. It's a solid Off- but with the kind of rubbers you're using it would be edging closer to OFF than ALL+. I had 2.0 729 Cream Transcend on here at first (often my first rubber to test a blade) and it was supremely controlled if slightly slow. My current all DHS setup is much faster and I'm really liking it.

When you win you rely more on your equipment and avoid changing to something different.
