| Hi I am looking for a flexible blade to switch my existing stiff one to become more spin oriented. I have a hard rubber H3N on FH which I would like to keep and switch Mark V on BH to some modern medium hard rubber as well. |

Depends on the blade speed you are looking for. ALL+, OFF- or OFF? ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball... Cybershape Carbon FH/BH: H3P 41D. Lumberjack TT, not for lovers of beautiful strokes. No time to train... |

| I’ve tried a couple of theese blades. And I also play with H3N on my FH. I ended up with the Butterfly Primorac. It’s flexy with lots of control. But you’ll have to make your own speed. It’s far from the fastest blade I’ve tried. |

Great. That's range is where I've spent most of my blade budget over the last 10 years. I've owned and played with most of Stiga's, BTY's and Yasaka's ALL to OFF- catalogs between 2002-2011... Mix in a couple random Donic, Tibhar, and Andro blades in that range, and here are the only two I didn't sell after a couple weeks or months. Yasaka Extra (stay away from their composites) Virtuoso+ 159mm (the large, the original) These are superior to the Stiga offerings that are similar. I pretty much stopped buying blades All- to OFF- blades after the Virtuoso. I have an old Yasaka Gatien Extra that I thought was too slow for the plastic ball until I put Sanwei Target National and Rasant on it. I think plain old discontinued Rasant is like an upgraded classic rubber (like a Sriver/Mark V on steroids). I haven't found a replacement. ------------- http://bit.ly/vLMhuB" rel="nofollow - - RC1042 . OSP Virtuoso AC: PK50 + R42 |

Very good flexy off- blade is yinhe mc-2 . I play with it for two years, and have good results (I play tournaments and league). In the same period I have or had 7-8 expensive composite blades like viscaria/tbs... but I play with mc-2, easier to play, better handle, better margin of error. I loop from both wings. Blade is better than any primorac off-. And cheap. It was also very good with new tg2 neo. Until tg2 neo softened too much :( ------------- http://stonitenis.rs/equipmentreviews" rel="nofollow - Equipment database Yinhe MC-2 FL fh: Xiom Vega pro bh: Xiom Vega pro Boycott Marcos Freitas for hidden services! |

Yasaka Sweden Classic or Yasaka Sweden Extra Tibhar Emmanuel Lebesson Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Blue Edition Those are the ones I would tell you to start with. They are all cheap enough that you don't have to do too much. If they are too slow (and they are all roughly the same speed with maybe the Classic being the slowest and the Blue Edition being the fastest), the you can try something stiffer like a Korbel, HL5 or Innerforce ZLC. ------------- https://youtu.be/jhO4K_yFhh8?t=115" rel="nofollow - I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

Appelgren Allplay is always worth a try. Plenty fast and lots of feedback. |

I found that I care more about handle shape than I I originally thought, so make sure you give it a little thought. For example, every Nittaku blade I have tried to date has a handle that is way too thin for my tastes. Most modern OFF-/ALL+ blades play perfectly fine and without going through the exercise of trying a whole bunch of them, consider a limba outer ply blade if you like spinning or koto or something along those lines if you play a more direct game.

+1, same here
If you get the chance, try Violin/Acoustic LG (L-Size handle) or Latika. I hate the ST handle of the normal Violin, but absolutely love the L-Size ST handle! If you prefer FL, there are L-Size FL handles as well, but I cannot comment. ------------- Nexy Arche & Nittaku Violin LG. Join the forum_posts.asp?TID=47778" rel="nofollow - Nexy Clan !

If you can tolerate all that vibration, Stiga Offensive Classic is a good choice, especially with a sheet of H3N. ------------- Fly away! |

Don't laugh guys but a BTY Grubba ALL+ with MXP, T05, T64 makes for a controlled setup with speed. Flexible catapult speed. Also loops very nice. ------------- Wood Paddle Red side Black side. |
