which one is more effect the game Blade or Rubber?

If you disagree try playing the game with your normal rubbers and any blade you can get 1ply, defensive, hard as anything It will be ok.

I could use a 5ply bad quality blade and good rubbers to perform 80-90% the same in leagues but using non grippy slow rubbers that will fall to 50-70%

Which leg has more effect on running, left one or right one?

blade: 40%

Blade is related: fast or slow (speed), stiff or flex (stiff better for block & flex better to loop), hard & soft (hard to drive & attack & soft to defend).

Sounds way too much difference with same rubber. It's simple physics, the bouncing is affected first by the elasticity, tension, of the rubber, any blade is orders of magnitude more rigid than any rubber, and will mostly affect the vibrations damping or not. If you are swinging very fast, you could have difference due to the weight, and you could start to see more effect of the bat rigidity, but just bouncing the ball.... I would say probably a problem with the test protocol, inconsistent application of the rubbers, or variance in ther rubber (have you tried swapping rubbers)

For Blade + Rubbers :

Yinhe/Galaxy N-9s :  181. gr
Kokutaku (5 ply wood )  : 184. gr

Yes but two sheets of some rubbers cost more than many blades!

1.  Take the blade of your choice, whatever you like, it doesn't matter.  Put Tenergy 05, or Hurricane unboosted, or Mark V on it, and in each case it will play totally differently.  You will need to use different racket angles on almost every shot, depending on the rubber.  If you are used to any one of those and switch to the other you will find yourself knocking the ball off the table or into the net for a long time.  (By contrast, switch from Tenergy 05 to Evolution MX-P and you will adjust much more easily).  The rubber matters.

2.  Now take, say, a Butterfly Viscaria and a Donic Appelgren Allplay (or a Stiga All Around).  Put Tenergy 05 on each one.  Again you will find that you will need quite distinct changes in technique to play, and adjustment is far from instantaneous  But if you put Tenergy 05 on a Viscaria or a Donic True Carbon, not much difference based on those blades, assuming you stick with same handle shape.  You can adjust very easily, even though no two blades are identical.  The blade matters.

3.  In an case, the only way to figure out if you like a blade/rubber combination is by trying it.  The cheapest way to do that is to try other people's blades.  You can waste a lot of money trying blades or rubbers based on what you read on the internet.  Some people don't mind that, it is part of the fun for them, but if money is an issue, heed my words.

Strange or not , you have no choice but accepting this fact : the only difference between the 2 cases is the different blades . So , it must be due to the blades.

From experience I will have to say that it took me more time and effort to adapt to a new blade than it does to a new rubber.

For me, blades.

Rubber unless your using long pips with no sponge or .5 1.0 1.5 then the blade does make a difference as well as the pips.
