5 ply wood:
Butterfly falcima (if you like thinner handles)
Butterfly hadraw 5 (if you like thicker handles)
Innerforce: My absolute favorite is Innerforce Franziska ZLC as it is the most vibrating out of the all blades I've tried so far (gives the best feedback/response so you know exactly where the contact point with the ball is). It's also rather easy to find a blade that weighs less than 85g which is a plus for me.
I've tried other innerforce ALC types but none of them came close in ease of use, control and speed at the same time.
Outerforce: I have 2 favorites Timo boll ZLC and Lin Yun Ju Super ZLC both in weights below 85g. I would say timo is more controllable and has a little more feedback while Lin Yun Ju packs more punch and better on blocks.
I don't like the feeling of ALC but if that's your thing then I liked viscaria the most. Not the super alc, just the regular viscaria.
Rubbers:
1) Soft rubbers with the best grip in my experience Donic Baracuda, they last a while too and can produce tremendous spin rather easily.
2) Soft rubber with the best control: Xiom Vega Korea (I tried the blue in 2.0 on outer zlc blade, and it was perfect)
3) Harder tensor rubber: T05hard. It has tremendous amount of penetrating power when properly engaged the sponge, but you have to be always physically active and do it on time otherwise the ball will either drop in the net or overshoot.
4) Hybrid rubbers: D09C is the perfect rubber for control, speed, and spin. My only complaint is that it's a little overpriced as you can get a cheap chinese hybrid ruber that will do 80% of what D09C does for only 10% of the price.
5) Chinese hybrids: Yinhe Jupiter 3, Loki Rxton 5 blue, Loki Rxton 3 Pro. They are all super cheap and affordable options that do the job. The difference between them is the weight and the throw angle. Jupiter has the lowest throw angle and weighs the most, but since it has a harder sponge and a rather thick topsheet it's not very sensitive to incoming spin and at the same time you can produce plenty of it
Rxton 5 blue is the lightest (45g cut to cybershape blade) and has medium throw.
Loki Rxton 3 pro comes only in black color and has medium hard sponge, higher throw angle (47g cut to cybershae blade)
6) Chinese sticky/tacky rubbers: H3Neo provincial in both orange and blue sponges, Loki Rxton IX. I feel like rxton has a different topsheet compared to hurricane, it relies on tackiness more than on the "bite" or the grip. Sometimes hurricane rubbers come not tacky at all but it grips/bites the ball very well while on Rxton IX I experienced ball slippage sometimes. Nevertheless I think that Rxton IX is a lot easier to play because it has higher throw angle so the ball lands on the table safer.
