Not sure Nexy has blades or rubbers directly comparable to the ones I listed.
Lissom and KJH would be the closest and the hardness of the White Ash top ply on both would require more touch and skill than the soft Limba top ply of the blades in did list.

Nexy Spear.
But we are not hear to pimp Nexy, I mentioned before that the OP could be well off by figuring out the desired play style, and get equipment that is right in the middle zone of that. Every TT equipment maker has several blades and rubber for each zone.
Typically, an allround OFF player wants a blade that can make spin, not ridiculous quick rebound, and not extreme top end. The typical wood (and a few composite) that are around the All+ OFF- on the average (HUNDREDS of these blades are made) and a medium modern rubber (hundred of those too from everyone, something along the lines of the properties of Tibhar Genius).
An aggressive OFF attacker usually goes for a fast composite blade and high end modern rubbers. Still hundreds of those blades fit and only dozens of rubbers. Still, an almost endless amount of combos around.
We could make recommendations all day and many of them would be suitable.
Overall, I agree that a blade with less pop on the low and middle gears would help, so would a more medium modern rubber.
Problem is, we would confuse if we listed even 10% of the possible ones, and seem to discriminate if we make it simple and list only a few possible suitable ones.
That is why I say go middle of the zone for what style and required specs, get that, and have at it for a while. Usually, it will work out.
Often, a player gets suitable equipment, but still has issues in both short and long term. TT is not an easy sport and without effective guidance or discovery and practice, it is tough to progress sometimes.
