Need Suggestion : Planning to buy a new custom racket - Intermediate Player

[maverick00]

Hey folks. Learnt to play TT in childhood, didn't play for past 8years. Recently i have again started playing continuously for past 1year and brushed the basics. Generally we play OFF--/OFF game.
Previously i bought a Readymade Stiga Pro Carbon bat (since didn't had much idea of blades and rubbers) but now i want to create a new custom made racket.
I am good in looping and generating topspins in serve returns and low balls but i now i feel i lack a bit control of the positioning of the ball. I can return the ball in centre of table, but not very good to position it in the edges. Also i am struggling a bit in returning Pendulum like serves, the ball going flying as soon it touches the bat.
So I am not going for very fast blades and rackets. Planning to get a :
Blade - Tibhar Stratus Power Wood / Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon
BH - Yasaka Rakza 7
FH - Donic Baracuda
Would like to have some feedback on this setup.

This is a practice issue rather than an equipment issue. Just practice and be brave with your placement and eventually you'll crack it. You'll have to do this with the new racket anyway

Also i am struggling a bit in returning Pendulum like serves, the ball going flying as soon it touches the bat.

Again, dealing with incoming spin will be an issue with any racket. Are you good at reading the spin from the servers racket movements?
As in, knowing the spin before the ball reaches your racket?
If you know the spin then it's easy to learn to deal with it.

Blade - Tibhar Stratus Power Wood / Donic Waldner Ultra Senso Carbon
BH - Yasaka Rakza 7

I actually don't know anything about Baracuda but it is often recommended in here.
2 Rakza 7s would also work great!

That's a good combination for an intermediate player, however I would suggest getting the Donic Baracuda on both sides as Rakza 7 is a very unremarkable rubber and Baracuda is soft and controlled enough for an intermediate to use on both sides.

This ☝
Or if you want different rubbers on both sides, would choose Fastarc, G-1 or C-1. Had Rakza 7 before and was not impressed.
