Recommend me a blade

Hi everyone,

I need your expertise. The rubbers I play with are the Tenergy 05 FX 2.1 and Sriver G3 FX 2.1 on the backhand. I am looking for a blade with is good for blocking and looping if this is possible with these rubbers. I am a local league intermediate player in the UK (play 2-3 times a week). Money is not an issue when it comes to my ping pong.


I guess I need a fairly stiff blade that is not overly quick so I can control it. Its worth noting that I do try to play a 3rd ball topspin game when serving.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!!

Also another blade would be the butterfly innerforce zlf and timo boll zlf.

Blocking and looping are skills.
Equipments will not do that for you, good setup are just there to help you have that good feel while you hit the ball..
Since money is not an issue.. then try
Super zjk zlc + 2 tenergy 05 [emoji4]

A lot of the BTY composites, and nowadays, other company make great composite blades.

Although I can block well with just about any setup I use, I feel my best when I have a stiffish composite blade to do that task.

Timo Boll ALC, TBS, SC, Amulart, PC, and any of the ZLF work great. From Nexy, the Arirang, Calix II, & the OSCAR is a special beast for this, and the new Kanaph. Tibhar INCA is particularly good.

One thing to consider is that although we place a special emphasis on a certain shot and want a blade and rubber combo to optimize it, we gotta consider the rest of our game too.

TBS and Arirang are in my opinion two of the best balanced blades that help you do it all with enough control and feel. (yes, TBS has feel, it isn't dead)

I have made a few mods to normally flexy inexpensive 896 to harden it up for battle in these areas too.

Try out as many bats as you can and I hope you discover your sweet spot soon.

Good recommendation, for me the Emerald vps is great for blocking.
