That's nice to know since I don't really want to lose too much spin off my game. As for the weight, I dont think it should exceed my current setup by a noticeable margin (Stiga OC + Xiom vega Pro)

Hmm it's more about what woudnt hinder the V15 I've heard on how it generally lacks spin in contrast to other rubbers in competition, so I was thinking this blade could atleast help it draw some more spin where its most effective (topspin looping), while retaining a good amount of speed.

Thoughts? Thoughts on a Tibhar Stratus Powerwood with Victas V15>Extra? Trying to decide on a suitable blade that dosen't end up too high end. Currently use Stiga OC

Would Max sponge from 2.0mm make enough of a difference? As mentioned, a Tenergy 05/64 still feels a little weak at 2.1mm on a standard blade

Hi I'm currently using a XIOM Vega Pro (2.0mm) on both sides of my Stiga Offensive Classic. So far this combo has worked the best for me so far- but I feel coming down to it, it's still lacking somewhere... The rubber has about just the right amount of spin to fit my playstyle (Heavy loop...

(Wrong choice of words)- by firm i meant simply having my middle finger rest alongside my pinky and ring finger on the handle- rather than in its odd position atm

Thanks so much for all this- and yes I'm simply trying to make a decision that I wouldn't regret. Got some further clarification with some friends at my venue; and I will be going forward with the Vega Pro on both sides at 2.00mm rather than Max-- seems like the better option than to go 2...

I am using the Mark V, not the softer vers atm. That vers itself seems slightly lacking, and I'd like to use something similar that simply enhances the speed and spin- thus looking at the Xiom vega series or Timbhar Evolution series. As for my finger angle- i'd love to change it but it...

Hmm I see... to be honest I wouldnt be able to decide on which side I falter to- sort of both to be honest... Don't have a "concrete" playstyle yet given im still new(ish) so Id probably not want that much of a catapult effect so as to not be able to control my hits, though I'm assuming im...

My forehand seemed like it had enough spin to manae for chops; but lacked speed to help push my sidespin loops; whereas my backhand purely lacked spin.

Could I ask for some background on as to why FX-P would be better for a compact looper and the latter with Vega Pro?

I havent used Marder II, simply recommended it as its supposedly "Mark V with more Spin" And yes ive kept Mark V on both sides as it was my first bat from scrach, as opposed to premade bats- and simply wanted to go for an allrounder bat. With further talks, vega Pro or FX-P seem like the best...

After reading up- I will likely stick to my current blade- while keeping the previous suggestion in mind if I ever wish to change it in the future; as yes its a great blade- but not as comfortable as a Dotec (which i've clearly been recc'd against by people I know and responders here). As for...

And would the Xiom Vega Pro not work out better?

From what I can see- The Blade recommendation seems quite nice- though at a cost of 100AUD. As for the Rubber- seems like a literal upgrade; but It's quite lacking in the tackyness department. Would that be an issue as a sidespin looper? And would you recc'd that on both sides?

Hmm understandable- and yes that position is what I keep so I can finetune my angles as to how I wish- thus not changing to a firm grip; and I have been told by many to sand out the endges given how uncomfortable they are- just confirming is that allowed? Never heard of such elsewhere so unsure...

Hi I've been playing for about 2 years now so am a low intermediate player and have been using Mark V rubbers and a Stiga Offensive Classic Blade. I figured it was about time I changed to a new bat (mainly because my rubbers are wearing out- and im thinking of changing my blade too). I needed...
