Changing from tibhar samsonov pure wood

[Jangcy]

Hi,
For over a year I was using tibhar samsonov pure wood + MX-S on both sides. It was my first not pre-made racket, before i used Atemi 5000. It was great for me, but now I want to try something with more power, but also not too much speed. Just an upgrade from samsonov pure wood. I was thinking about Yinhe pro-01, since it is reviewed as an clone of Butterfly Viscaria. Also i was wondering if MX-S rubbers would make a good connection with it. What do you think?
I should add, that I play in an amateur club for +/- 2 years and i'm looking for some budget friendly options like yinhe which i read has really good quality.
My style relies heavily on strong serves. My biggest weakness is consistently looping against heavy backspin. Crucially, I've only just started doing structured drills/element training (about 5-6 weeks ago) after years of only playing matches, because I recently joined my university sport section.

I wouldn't recommend switching if you still haven't. You have an ALL+ blade with 47 degree rubbers, which should produce plenty of power. Keep working on your technique and you'll be fine. I used the Tibhar Pure Wood for a year so I'm familiar with its feeling. If you JUST started doing structured training, you shouldn't switch your equipment. The power and speed will come with better technique. If you get anything faster, you'll lose control and your level will go down.

Also saying you want more power but not speed doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What do you mean by that?

Hi
In december i have changed for a modest Inspire Carbon OFF
(It's an original Modest(Polish TT store) Blade)
I feel like it boosted my game a bit, however i wanted inner carbon, and that Blade, after i bought it, appeared to be outer one. Sometimes i have to be really careful in short play, but for now I am pretty satisfied. Maybe when i would seek more Control, I would switch to some inner carbon Blade in a year or two, but for now it's realy better than pure wood.
(And what did I mean was that I wanted blade faster, but not very faster, just a bit faster. I have now blade faster than "just a bit", but for now it's okay. Sometimes I win matches with former or current Fourth league players since i bought this Blade)
