Hi all! 

Right now, I am looking for a frame that I can use best for my style.

At the moment I use:

Frame: Stiga Allround Classic
Rubbers: Stiga Chop and Drive BH
Mark V GPS FH

What I dislike about the current frame:

The wood of the handle cutting in my hand a bit. It has a flared handle, and I notice I dislike that. Would it better then to go for a straight handle? 
The frame is too fast for me. I have a hard time to keep topspin balls on the table after I use them myself, or block them.

My style of play:

Mostly pushing controlled, placing on table. Looping on FH. 
NO chopping at all. Maybe ocassional panic chop. 
Controlling defensive, sometimes offensive. 

I took a look at the Dr. Neubauer Barricade. It looks like maybe it can be the blade for me? Or is this more for chopping? Thanks! 

The rubbers I want to use on the frame are: 

Either SpinLord Marder 1, 1.0mm, or SpinLord Sandwind 1.5mm for the BH.
And perhaps Gambler Reflectoid 2.0mm on FH. I will get this to test, so it is the rubber that I have.

If you have other advice for rubbers and / or frame, be my guest! 

Thanks!

If you are new or developing player, this set up is just great.
Problem with sharp edge can be solved with sandpaper, trim those sharp edge.
Get to learn your blade, it takes time. Spend some money on proper coaching or practice with decent player.

I second Crowsfeather's advice, the setup is a perfect allround setup and I would not change it. If you dislike the handle shape, borrow a blade with a straight handle and see if you like it better. If so, you may consider changing blade, but I'd stick with an allround blade. If it's just the edges, sand them.
