    Posted: 12/09/2006 at 6:19pm
I like to play a heavy looping from far off the table, with very rare defense, and I also like to play an offensive game up at the table. I am looking for a blade that will suit this style, does anyone have a suggestion? Preferrably I'd like the blade to be light, and not TOO expensive, less than 55 bucks. That price is flexible though. Anybody have a suggestion? I was thinking about the Andro BLAX ALL+ and the Stiga Offensive CR WRB. Are these good choices, if not, what else are? Thanks.

samsonov alpha yes, I use it with magna and saviga glued. Magna on the forehand, the combo is quite speedy. The alpha is medium-soft with great dwell and a smaller than average blade. It's head-light, unlike the wrb system, and is very easy to swing. Though it's soft, the blade feels very solid. Looping, loop-driving, and blocking are great. No need to varnish the blade as I haven't experienced splintering problems. weight 80grams =) I feel that this blade needs to be combined with a harder sponged rubbers such as rapid, sriver, magna, etc to perform at its best. The flared handle that I have is quite comfortable, not as thick as the stiga energy master, which I didn't like, but bigger than the butterfly tbs handle. So far I've not found any weaknesses to this blade.

how about the stiga tube carbo?

I've never used this but it has a reputation as a "looping machine".

I use allround CR WRB and its has ok speed. It has alot of vibrations and is pretty good for anything. I has pretty long contact time and is quite flexible. The only drawback I think is the vibrations

I've never played with the driva smash, I don't want to guess Perhaps others can provide insight about this rubber/blade combo.

I was going to recommend you to try Andro Kinetic Supercore All+. and realized you are already using it. try something new like Xiom Amati or Maximus.
