Thank you all for your thoughts.
I finally went for Nittaku Latika.

Felt like Yasaka Extra Offensive will suit me, but after you owned Nittaku blade  you cannot go for some other brand. (Same story as with iPhone Tongue )


Will see how good is it...

Limba-spruce-ayous, I believe.

Cannot agree with you, my friend.

I did check all the options that guys said here.
I really appreciate to all the people here for their advises. 

Moreover - my conclusion was made by influence of your advices!

I have one,never used it , good quality for the money ,   head a bit oversized not as thick as Tibhar PW , feel softer by bare wood bouncing the ball , mine is flared and the handle imo is better than the PW that have the same head size..., Latika may feel less powerful but more flexible for looping......To me they are of the same compo, limba/limba /ayous...
@ $50 on Tt11

Damn that blade is fast. 

Stiff feeling compared to Acoustic, but not like carbon.

A put Xiom OMEGA V EUROPE Max with OMEGA V PRO Max.

For my liking this combination is too stiff and too fast. 
And the combination is too heavy, Although ttpalace said the blade is 83g. 
I didn't weight it yet but I think that my particular blade is at least 90g.
I don't know, may be I wrong?.. 

I like harder and faster rubber on backhand with less spin than on forhand.

I ordered Yasaka Rakza 7 Soft to replace V Pro. Will see how it goes.

Good luck on the R7S, hope it isnt like Maxxx 450 soft....have you considered MX-P for more spin/speed or EL-P for slower speed?

You would need a  gram scale to actually measure the weight, guessing wont help.

I was playing Rakza 7 Soft on my forehand until recently, its a very spinny rubber, only thing being once you go back from the table, you will have a hard time getting the ball over the net, it just doesn't have enough speed away from the table, but on the table and mid-distance its awesome, tonnes of spin.

Thanks rocketman!

Seems like you're also prefer spinny medium hard not too fast rubber on forehand and fast slightly harder with less spin rubber on backhand?

Can you please share your thoughts about Joola Rhizm?
How is it compared to Joola Express One or may be some other rubber?

Thanks!

I think I have a good one. I have been using mine for weeks with max rhyzm on it. I switched from an Appelgren Allplay since we use the new plastic balls and I wanted more speed. 

I have owned those 2 plus a 729 Bomb. Have also used the Stiga OC all wood and also carbon version. The handle on the YEO is by far the best of all of them. It is a fast paddle but I can still control it. The max Rhyzm really turbo charges my strokes as I prefer to play mid distance, and as long as I use good touch close to the table I can push pretty well with it too.

I do tend to miss long when I make a mistake,  but that is my technique that is the issue.
