My next blade is the same as my current blade. Lol I just bought a backup. 😊 But what category is Zetro Quard? It has carbon and zylom with hinoki outer right?
Current Setup: TBS FH T80/BH D80

For mere mortals, or occasional readers, HL5 stands for "Hurricane Long 5".

and what TLA stand for?

Is that the carbon inner or outer.

Ive already got mxp max. If the feel is noticeably worse, i have plenty of catapult from my rubber and style. Or were u saying the feeling is really good like violin

I'm trying new Acoustic which is made for plastic ball, very solid and powerful.
It doesn't feel mushy, but solid and hard, just like Violin, but it has more catapult feel.

^The original acoustic? Ive had it for a good 6 odd years, but the handle is tiny and i remember baal saying its too small if you need to adjust your bhand grip. So im wondering which large handle version of the acoustic is best for me (original or either of the carbons). As you say they have great control and even the 5 ply original has enough power to close out points, but would be open to info on the newer and beefier editions.

Id try something a different line but i dont want to have to potentially have an expensive paperweight because it doesnt suit me, viscaria, tbs many great blades out there.

After trying many many different blades I pretty much stick with Nittaku Accoustics and OSP Virtuosos at this point. They offer amazing control and feel with enough power to finish my points.

If you got $175 laying around...Blades by Charlie:  BBC Nine with hinoki, white koto, bombax and lots of carbon...it's a pleasure to play with it.  Ton of control and feel despite having 4 layers of carbon.

I can give you a Vega Pro - the second one I bought recently is nowhere close to as good a the first.  I have also found a blade that fits uniquely with my grip so I am going to stick with it, even though it is harder than I usually like.

Another AVX P500. Nittaku no longer makes the Runlox 5 so the P500 is a no brainer. Same blade composition and feel. Best looping blade in the galaxy.
