Hi guys! I've a really hard question rn. I started playing table tennis 6 years ago. I've played all these years with primorac carbon with T05 on both, so i'm used to fast equipment. Last December i changed to viscaria with D09c and D05. At first I feel really good but later I had to boost my D09c on FH because much shots stayed in the net. First loop agains chop was nice, but then in open play a lot of topspins stayed at the net. With booster I felt really good, but 2 weeks ago I accidentally broke my viscaria. Last saturday I had to play a match so I used my friends racket (Donic Waldner black devil cb with T05 both). This racket felt really really good, I played better than ever. So rn i have this doubt, what should i do? Which blade and which rubber? I thought on changing to DHS blade like long 5x or similar, but i dont know anything about them. I would like to buy a fast blade (faster than viscaria) and keep D05 on BH, but i don't know what to do with D09c on FH. Anyways I would like to continue boosting my FH rubber (feeling is amazing). So pls, I need recommendations on blade and FH rubber. (Play with D09c boost or change). Thanks for listening.

If you want the most speed, you could go for the mizutani jun super zlc if you have the big money, or go for the ever underrated amultart, maybe a fan zhendong super alc too.

Have you tried how D05 is when you flip it to the FH? D09c is quite different from T05. But D05 both sides might be great.
Also, I think from your story that you just really like the feeling of T05. You could perfectly well put T05 on your Viscaria, too.
Or if that's too soft, T05H.
Edit: I see you broke the Vis. Still, you can buy a new one.

Mizutani so expensive for me. Amultart is difficult to buy in Spain, I don't know where to buy out of Spain. Fan zhendong's speed is closer to Primorac carbon or to viscaria? Idk if my problrm with FH is due to the D09c or to the viscaria, I didnt try visc with other rubber.
Maybe buy new Visc and play T05 FH and D05 BH, but sincerely as I have to buy a new blade i would like something different, faster.

Is there big difference between visc and super visc? I would like to notice the speed change but not big price. Less than 250€ in Spain.

I can hear the angels weep about the broken Viscaria...😢 I always do...
Put the Vis in a nice box, bury it in the garden and plant some white tulips on them. It deserves it, cause it's quite possibly the greatest and most influential blade ever.
As for the Super Vis: It's a "simple" trade off. Super Vis is noticeably harder and faster than regular Vis, but not terribly so. You gain speed and power, but lose some spin capabilities and (general) control in your shots. For me personally the Super Vis is a bit too much.

If you hit d09c into the net a lot then T05H is a good decision. Naturally T05H will be faster than d09c so maybe that’s where you would find the additional speed you’re looking for and stick to the viscaria. T05H has a low throw and super alc has a lower throw vs alc. changing both may make the throw angle of your shots less forgiving.
T05 or T05H? Whats the difference? I usually like hard and fast blades and fast rubbers with good spin.

TTD got good videos on both
yeah the tenergy rubbers have easy access to speed vs the dignics line. Tenergy 05H is harder and lower throw so good choice if you want to boost. Can’t really boost tenergy 05 and use on forehand, much too soft. Tenergy 05H is rated 2nd spiniest butterfly rubber, 1st is D09c, plenty spin for you.

I’d go for any alc, super alc or zlc blade, you can tame them. Just pick whatever handle or player you like don’t stress too much on that. The super zlc line forego Lin yun ju super zlc are just too fast and sacrificing too much control over speed.
Ok nice. So probably I will use T05H Booster with falco tempo long on FH and maybe regular T05 on BH (i need to think about T05H or T05 on BH, i usually make active blocks and sometimes counter topspins from near the table). The main problem is the blade. Idk if viscaria super alc is hard enough (or faster enough). As I know harder = faster, so i'm searching something harder than viscaria and a little bit harder that super visc (but not as fast as primorac carbon, so uncontrollable). My budget is 250€ max.

Yeah maybe consider boosted dignics 05 on backhand if you like the boosted feeling. I think super alc with a T05H is the fastest you’ll get to having control still. There’s many factors more than just hardness, fiber type + amount, wood composition, weight of blade, etc.
look at the pace this guy gets on super alc with d09c
Any alternative to visc super alc? Some people say its a little bit slower than normal visc. And the last question, on BH 100% D05 boosted, and on FH which os faster D05 boosted or T05H boosted? Which is easier to lift backspin?

You can consider fan zhendong super alc but it’s all the same blade just slightly different feelings. I don’t see how it’s possible for the super alc to be slower than alc unless the weight differences were quite substantial. T05H boosted faster and spinnier for sure. And lifting backspin that’s purely individual depending on your technique. Try not to over think it all though, lifting backspin will come with practice with the blade, no equipment will suddenly make it effortless to counter back spin. It’s purely speed vs control.
Ok, I really appreciate all your help guys. Finally I think I will buy Fan Zhendong super ALC with T05H 2 layer of falco tempo long on FH and D05 1 layer of falco tempo long on BH.

Yinhe - T2s is a really fast carbon blade and the weight is quite low as well. Really good value for the buck.
Yinhe Blades I heard they are really good (T2S, T3, T4S, T5...) but in Spain idk where can I buy them.
For example, whats the difference between Yinhe T-4s and fan Zhendong super alc? Same wood and same materials and same sensation?
