Dawei 388d-1 ox was my favorite.
Bomb talent ox close second.
Both similar, bomb talent more disruptive and harder to control, needs some breaking in.
388d-1 was enough for me and good with all strokes, good allround lp.
Spinwise its an mostly empty ball, depending on the spin you gave him. No matter the motion lp's can never put on significant spin. What makes it hard is, that there's only very little movement involved, so it's easy for him to disguise the direction he is playing in.
Against LP Blockers its...
The Fextra is already really heavy. I was hoping to shed some weight, by making it a bit smaller and glueing on a lighter/ hollow handle.
But those are some great suggestions!
I too have both blades. Pro 01 is stiff but there is still some flex, too me it felt like it has a higher throw than sanwei 75 inner. It also felt like it had more vibrations. It's definitely crispier than the pro 05. It's so nice on the bh, it's really very similar to viscaria.
You start with a middel of the road setup. I my eyes thats a SH all+/off- blade with not to fast inverted rubber.
Learn all the strokes.
Get some match/ tournament experience.
Then figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are and try to compliment your playstyle with fitting equipment.

Maybe start to combine drills to a longer chain/rally:
Your Partner serves short backspin
You push long
He opens up with a loop
You counterdrive it
Then open rally.
Vary the placements, openups on fh or bh or drive it longline
I know that there's lot of interesting stuff out there, I've been there. I tried so many blades and rubbers over the past few years that I started playing again.
I know how fun it is to theorycraft and min/max that stuff.
Jpen is just so expensive lol. Maybe give cpen a go and you'll have...
Your stance is high, you lack rotation of your hip, you mostly use your arms/shoulders to loop. If you straight miss the ball you need to keep your eyes on it, as dumb as it sounds.
I don't know how you come to the conclusions that you need a faster rubber. Your still a beginner. If you really don't have the money to experiment with equipment then you shouldn't play anything else but recommended stuff for beginners the next year or 2. You need to change your rubbers anyway...
Spinlord Tiger plays like a classic rubber (mark v). Wouldn't bother with it, unless you want to tame a fast blade.
Xiom vega intro and europe are tensor rubbers and both faster and spinnier. But not unreasonable choices for beginners.
If you think YSE plus rakza 7 is too fast, you could...
