I am an average top local league (uk) player. I ma 46 I don't always move as well as I should. I have been playing about 35 years with a gap as a teenager.

I have always used non tacky rubbers and have had all sorts of goes at sp, lp and various on bh.

I have been using H3N on bh (yes I know) for about 3 months and my control and spin have really benefited, short game too. my bh openers are great.

I have been trying now and then H3N on fh, I miss the direct power of el-s but prefer other aspects of it, particularly the control that the extra grip, dwell etc gives me.

I have tried on;

TSPW, don't quite like, would prefer something firmer

Yasaka Goabaio (just insane and unpredictable)

Andro ligna (generally I really like this, the spin is insane but I don't like the handle its just too small and I hate bat tape)

HRT 2091 (briefly, this seemed interesting but I got in trouble for using fakes so I sold it)

I am a shakehand player?

what are existing both sides Chinese players using and would recommend.
I seem drawn towards thinner 7 ply blades that would be firmer than TSPW but not too rebound. I want to be able to spin still.

am I drawn towards eternity but worry about the top ply.
I like Tibhar so am tempted by both CCA7 and force pro blue. Force pro blue is obviously cheaper.

If you are currently going with H3 neo on both sides, it's a real treat using it with the Yasaka Extra Offensive (YEO) or any of its iterations (i.e.  Stiga Intensity, Adidas Avenger 5, etc.).  The walnut-spruce works very well with H3/Skyline rubber.

I used Force Pro Blue with Biig Dipper on both sides for a pretty long time when the plastic ball first came out.  It wasn't fast but I liked to spin drive the ball and the short game control was amazing.
I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

I worry YEO might just be a tad too stiff - too much stiffness

well I've just ordered a force pro blue, hopefully should be a bit less flex than TSPW.

I think it is slower than a power wood, actually. I am an OFF- blade guy, if you can't tell.

Yes tbh if its a tad slower but a little stiffer, less flex I think it will be ideal. The flex on TSPW catches me out too often and most of my blades have been fairly or nearly stiff.

If you're assessment is correct I actually feel better about ordering it and I might even stick with el-s on fh to start with
