Xiom Zero Quad dilemma

I'm Xiom Zetro Quad blade user for a couple of years. However, I'm getting this feeling that I should change it to something else. I hope someone can perhaps suggest a blade that close to ZQ or maybe set of rubbers that work better than my current setup.

Whoever used this blade knows it is a pretty specific kind of blade. Quite thick and stiff with 9 plies while it still seems it retains some flex. Very good at blocking or driving the ball but it appears to grab the ball well on looping and, making loops quite easy and spinny, while it is a fast blade. And the most special thing about the blade - very soft feeling on low and medium impact which changed into a hard feeling  with a dramatic speed increase when the ball is hit harder. 

What bothers me when using ZQ is that it's not easy to get top spin out of rubbers. Depending on sponge hardness, it takes a certain amount of power to make a rubber actually spin. This is of course most apparent on backhand. Current trends in rubbers dictate increased sponge hardness on both wings. Latest generations of rubbers brought dramatic increase in spin and power that was lost in celluloid ball era. I tried rubbers like Joola GT PS, Yasaka Rakza Z, Gewo EL Pro 50, etc. The speed, the arc would be there but loops would be generally harmless unless I can hit the ball really hard. Hence, a no-no especially on backhand side. 

Using soft rubbers isn't a good option either because ZQ is also a bouncy blade - it adds some bounce to shots, which is what helps looping, but it's not such a good thing when it comes to serve returns, for example. And as soft rubbers tend to be more bouncy, playing them can turn into a nightmare. In addition, the speed of the least bouncy of them turns out to be too low. 

The rubber hardness range that works the best for me with ZQ is 45-47 degrees. On forehand, I settled on Xiom Vega X. I'm not satisfied with it on medium impact loops - like when I try lift backspin with a slower loop focusing on making it spinny. I always have to hit harder, and I have no reason to complain, the spin is absolutely great and the ball is often returned away from the table. Thin brush loops also don't result in good spin, which however might be a specific trait of Vega X and its soft top sheet. I wish I could get slow spinny brushing loops absolutely loaded with tremendous spin like what I could get from old gen rubbers like Fastarc, Hexer, Genius. In turn, these rubbers were a lot behind on forehand in terms of both spin and speed when I hit harder. All in all, though, Vega X is the best I could find. Easier to get spin out than with Tenergy 05/19 or Cornilleau Target Pro XD 47, plus more control. I'd get probably more spin with the mentioned rubbers but only after a very hard impact; not worth it.

I hope some of the fellow Xiom ZQ users, who are reading this, can come with some suggestions. Or, some of the former ZQ user can perhaps recommend a different blade that is close to ZQ's characteristics while it can give me more rubber choice options. Honestly, I'd prefer staying with the current blade as changing one can be a serious pain in the âşş, but I'll do what's necessary. 

I have one FS if you are curious about it.

I think he uses T05 but I'd need to double check. His own game is not that spin-based, it's more off the bounce drive and quick counterloop, and IMO stiff Hinoki blades are really not ideal for a spin game even though they have a soft feeling. I do agree that Hinoki surface blades can be very picky about rubber pairing, since Hinoki shakehand blades tend to be stiff and with carbon to boot, it can be feel much more difficult to get the same spin quality as a more flexible blade. I found G1 to play very well on my Feel HX (Hinoki ALC) but it lacked the arc dip and more violent spin I could make with the same rubber on my OffensiveS. I thought Hexer Powergrip played pretty well on the HX too though so you might also like it on ZQ.

729 Battle II Provincial for FH

Gewo Nexxuss EL 48 for BH.

No issue generating huge spin whatsoever.

Loved this blade so much, I had Hipnotic to make me a custom copy, alas the feel is not the same at all.
