Can anybody recommend a blade that is both controllable at the table and fast further from the table?

Well. I got 2 Dynasty Carbon. One with 94g and with 85g. The 94g is way more balanced than the 85g version. The lighter one will easily get head heavy with harder rubbers. This is why I recommended a blade with 90g or over. They play totally different and I really prefer the heavier setup.

second this, the Dynasty has (probably) the thinnest carbon layer out there, which can only be activated when you hit hard enough, close to table it has a very controlled wood-feel. The only concern is the weight, often around 90gr. I got a cpen version which is only 83gr but it's very rare

How about INSPIRA CCF? The one with the green sign on the handle? I am actually quite interested in that one now.

Can't comment on the Inspira CCF

this one? it does not have the Textreme technology, but it has a carbon layer near the core, which improves stability but harder to engage power. Those are my assumptions, but if you like the blade, just give it a try

Yeah, that's what I was talkin' about. I really wanna try it due to its low price and its good looking. Actually, the supreme wooden feeling isn't the feeling I'm looking for. I can tolerate carbonate feelings either. But I've heard that this blade is not that sensitive, or, not that fast as DYNASTY. I've tried DYNASTY-XUXIN before, it was fast and hard so the feedback wasn't very clear. I think that's why I may not give DYNASTY a second try.
btw, the blue sign blade - XUXIN - is too expensive for me to afford. If I buy the black sign one, I would definitely buy the blue one I guess.😂😂

yeah it's just a matter of taste, any blade will do if you take time to get used to it. So just buy whatever you like

That's a long time ago...

Yes but it doesn't mean it's irrelevant. Many say W968 already has so much feel and control and massive power. I've played W968 for over 3 years. If every score of W968 is 10, my 97g Stiga Karlsson is:

	W968	1980 Karlsson
Control	10	13
Short game	10	12
Flat hit	10	9
Chop	10	12
Spin	10	13
Spin/power away from table	10	8

I tested exactly the same rubbers. With Karlsson I beat my friend 3 matches (all 3:0). In the past with W968, he used to beat me 95% of the time.

Well if you are professionally trained, W968 could be the holy grail though

Ummm I guess I just expressed my thoughts incorrectly. Viscaria is indeed a fast blade. I was trying to say the blade is not so flexible and it cannot give me some sort of feeling like that when I am using MK Carbon - the feeling of clear feedback from the carbon. I don't know why, I sometimes feel like I am using a wooden blade while using Viscaria, with a small force hitting the ball like defending others' - well, when giving more hits on the ball that kind of feeling will join.
The rubber I used before was Hurricane 3 on the FH and Rozena on the BH, that was my friend's blade and the rubbers were both old like they had been used for a year.
tbh, the last time I played Viscaria was about 8 months before. I wasn't playing too well then, so it may still be a problem of my own ability.

Try Victas KokiNaiwa wood or ALC version. For me its the most control and awesome feel blade available that money can buy. I may be wrong.

I throw in a Stiga Dynasty Carbon with a weigth of around 90g or over.
The blade combined with harder rubbers offers great control close to table and has enough power away from the table. Compared to Viscaria a more wooden touch in passive game, while still being a carbon blade with all its benefits to stiffness and power.
Handle in flared is thicker than the HL5.

This.
My blade weighs 91g and nothing comes close to it in terms of control close to the table and power away from the table.
Maybe a Carbonado 45 or 145 (90+ g).

Use a defensive style blade in your left hand a viscaria in your right hand.

Butterfly Michael Maze ALC is my favorite!

Has anyone tried the Nittaku hina hayata h2? How does it compare to bty innerforce or koki niwa?
