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 sidespins, with a sidespin + smash focus backhand), but it lacks in speed somewhere.
And now recently my red topsheet is in a terrible state so it's not quite useable anymore either; hence I was considering now as a good time to switch.
Ive tested out my friends Tenergy 64/05 (2.1mm) and found I enjoyed the speed and spin on the 05; though not complety fond of the 64- and felt it was still a little slow, though he was using a standard practice blade.
Overall looking through reccomendations from fellow players, I've come to most likely go forward with:
Red: DHS Hurricane III Neo (2.15mm)
Black: Tenergy 05 (2.1mm)
Now, I'm also considering changing my blade in the process- leaving my xiom rubber'd bat aside to possibly use again by simply buying a new red topsheet- but with blades, I've only ever used 2 blades and both are Stiga ones;
Is there a blade you would reccomend as a upgrade to the Stiga Offensive Classic? I've gotten quite used to its grip so I'm not sure at this point.
Also if you have a better idea for rubber combinations, please feel free to suggest something; as for my playstyle:
I play anywhere between close to 2 steps behind the table; forehand is focused on sidespin loops, whereas backhand is more of a defensive chopper, reverse side-spin loops, and strong drives
Thankyou
