Hello, everyone. I'm 27 and have been playing consistently for almost 2 years. First bat was a pre-made Stiga I bought from a coworker and now I'm using a Stiga Carbon Pro. Currently my playing style is more bh dominant with a strong fh. I play 5 days a week for roughly an hour a day with 6 other people at work. Myself and two others are the best of the group and we are more or less even with each other. I feel the next step at getting better is to work on proper technique so I want to buy a flexible blade and pair it with a fast fh rubber and a bh rubber that can be fast, but has more control and spin. I've learned a lot this week about blade and rubber characteristics, but I know there is a lot more the consider so I figured I would ask here.
I've narrowed down my blade selection to Stiga All Around Classic and DHS Hurricane 301, but also open to suggestions of similar/better blades around the same price. I'm thinking DHS Hurricane 3 Neo for bh as it is can be both slow and fast (correct me if I'm wrong), and maybe DHS Goldarc 8 (or something similar) for fh. I feel like this would be a good setup for me to improve my game by developing better technique.
Also, does anyone have any input about Xiom Zeta Offensive blade? I don't believe it will work as well as the other two blades, but wanted to ask.
Thanks in advanced!
