Choosing right blade for my game

This user has no status.
Hi guys,

I'm new here at this forum and I would like to get some advice about choosing a blade.
I play with inverted rubbers and my playstyle is close to the table (and sometimes far from the table). I use my BH for an opening with a lot of spin but also BH drive/blocking over table and I use my FH with a lot of power (flat hitting) but I'm trying to spin more often.

My current blade Joola Rossi Allround 07 medium is nice but sometimes I miss some control. My teammates say that my game is quite fast. So I don't think I need a faster blade, right? I have been looking at some butterfly blades (Liu Shiwen OFF, Kumpuru-FL,Viscaria,Innerforce) but I don't know anything about blades....

What blade would you recommend me?

Thanks for reading!

P.S. The blade doesn't have to be one of the names I mentioned before.

Do you have any reason to change blade? maybe you should keep it if you have problem with the control.

If we forget that, i think a harder stiffer blade suits a fast game close to the table. But you will proably have a harder time getting more spin in the forehand. Softer slower blades will proably help you create spin in the forehand.

From what I recall reading, the Mantra H rubber has more catapult than other similar rubbers. Do you have control issues on the FH and BH? It is possible that you just need a new FH rubber?

I only have control issues on my FH. The spin is very good but I need to adjust my technique to block better. I don't have any control issues with the BH
