Looks cool. Where is the best place to buy it?

So I've had this blade for a while and recently switched back to it after using the Waldner Senso Carbon and Nittaku Acoustic for the past year. It feels amazing, but it's very worn since I've had it since like 2013. It's the only blade I've used that feels amazing with unboosted chinese rubber...

I want to know if there is a complete list of where you should hit the ball depending for FH/BH loops, drives, smashes, flicks, pushes etc. Does where you hit the ball change depending on the type of spin you are receiving? I want to know!

Thanks for the reply! I have a collegiate tournament coming up in a month or so and there isn't much footage of the players I would play against unfortunately. I was thinking more about the most important things I should look out for regardless of who I play.

The problem I have with using the pendulum serve in tournaments is my hand get's too sweaty to give quality spin so I hold back and give weak serves. I usually do a "samsonov" style serve, hook serve, or tomahawk serve instead because of this...

Regarding the small handle, the flared version seemed a little thin for me, but the straight version was perfect. I didn't want the large handle version because I didn't want my paddle to be too heavy.
