Best blade for Helix Platinum?

[ttplayer234]

I have just bought 2 Helix Platinum M rubbers. Does anyone know what blade will work best for these rubbers. I am an intermediate to advamced player and am highly ranked in my country.
Thanks

Lol just use your current blade... From what I have read, Helix is quite a balanced rubber that does everything well so I don't think the rubber is picky in the blade you use.

Exactly. Any "goes well with this and doesn´t go well with that" is highly individual anyway and may not be the same for you.
I would happily sell you a like new Inspira Hybrid Carbon if you think you need a new blade, but it really wouldn´t make much sense

Im currently using Korbel but I think it lacks a bit of power especailly on the bakchand as i maily block and counter. My forehand sometimes feels a bit dead with the Korbel as well but thta just might be technique issue.

but you are ranked highly nationally, right ? sorry, what kind of power is missing if you block or counter ? If the rubber or blade is too fast the error margin on blocks will become an issue and counters are usually not done with "power" to win points, since there is quite a low margin for error. Either the ball is too high and you rather smash it or it is low and you would use a loop to give it more security by applying spin.

The whole notion "rubber x does not work with blade y" is a myth of beginners mainly because firstly its mainly subjective and if you are a noob that still needs to learn technique then you rather not think about this at all and just use something easy to play like your Korbel G-1 combination which should be good enough for everything basically.

Korbel is not a slow blade per se, but it is softer and more flexible than most popular 7 ply wood blades and fiber blades. Maybe it would do you well to test some popular fiber blades to see if they suit you

Any Stiga blade, especially cybershape ones?

Viscaria ⚡️🏓⚡️ the beast !

If you can find a viscaria copy from SDC, It would be the Best for helix. And his blades aren't expensive too. For a handmade viscaria, It would be like 110€. And his workmanship is just insanely good.

Se você conseguir encontrar uma réplica da Viscaria feita pela SDC, seria a melhor opção para o estilo Helix. E as lâminas deles também não são caras. Uma Viscaria feita à mão custaria cerca de 110€. E o acabamento é simplesmente incrível.

I think Viscaria will be a bit too big of a jump for me as I am so used to a wood blade but might give it a go
