Update: My Viscaria and Tenergy rubbers are way too fast for me as a developing player so it's sitting in my drawer. In the past 3-4 months I've sinced EJ'd my way to 5 ply all wood blades and non-tensor rubbers. Basically slower setups. All shakehand. Right now i've acquired Clipper Classic ST, Stiga Allround CR ST (got this pretty cheap from friend and LOVE IT!) Stiga OC FL Master, handle too thin to my liking so also sitting in drawer. Nittaku Violin Large ST handle love this blade as well! But exchanging for Acoustic LOL!!! DHS Hurricane 1 International Version, a bit heavy for my liking but Love the flared handle and feeling, POWERFUL blade with some loss in control but that's just my technique. I have much more control with the Allround. And lastly STiga ROSEWood XO FLared LEGEND, prefer this handle way more than master, it just arrived and still in box. Rubbers at the moment are Yasaka Mark V FH 2.0, Sriver BH 2.0, H3 NEO commercial 2.15 black H3 National 2.2 40 and H3 Provincial blue sponge 2.15. Whew that was quite a rant! I basically mix and match setups to see which suits me best. Right now my favorite is the Stiga Allround (Which is also the oldest and cheapest of lot, go figure!). I have MORE than enough gear to last a LOOOOONG time but i really just enjoy the whole process of learning about the gear. At the same time though I enjoy playing and practicing just as much.
