5 ply Off- to off blades are safe choices. Go with Stiga Azalea offensive or Xiom Offensive S.

Hey Yogi, I see you recommending Azalea a lot, and your review of it on MTT is quite good.
I'm just curious, do you know how Azalea compares to Yinhe E3? It is the same composition, weight and thickness.

I second that.

Other blade options in the same range: Nittaku Acoustic, Butterfly Primorac, OSP Virtuoso OFF-. You can also call the stores, see what weights they have in stock and require you desired available weight.

I'd read that you should use a hard blade with soft rubber but I'm using 2 allround wood blades which are not particularly hard. I've also been wondering whether to try a carbon blade after many years of playing with all wood blades.

I played with a Yasaka Sweden for quite a while, paired with Rakza 7 Soft rubbers both sides (faster than what you're using). Also played with a Butterfly Primorac (OFF-) with TSP Ventus Soft both sides. I personally prefer the feeling of a soft blade with medium rubbers than a medium soft blade with soft rubbers. If you decided to go that route instead, you could pair your Yasaka Sweden with Rakza 7 Soft, Tibhar Evolution FX-P, Butterfly Rozena, Andro Rasanter 42...
