Hello,
I am an average to good recreational player in search for a new custom blade and would like some help in making a decision.
I have been using for the past years a YINHE N9 with a Gambler Reflectoid on FH and a DHS PF4 on BH. The paddle is pretty worn out and since I experimented a bit with some of my friends blades (some combos between Rakza 7/Rakza 7 soft on FH and Rakza 7/Tenergy 05 FX on BH) and could see huge differences between their blades and mine, I would like to upgrade to something different.
A bit of info about my playing style: I started playing pretty defensive with a lot of chopping, short pushes and occasional drives but have switched to a more offensive style with FH/BH topspins and lots of blocking. I still like to control the tempo from time to time with short/long pushes so control is important.
Browsing these forums as well as others, I made up the following list of blades/rubbers which seem interesting. I would appreciate it if someone could offer some advice on which combo is better.
Blades:
- Tibhar Stratus Power Wood
- Ma Lin Extra Offensive
- Yasaka Silver All Wood
- Nittaku Septear
FH Rubbers:
- Yasaka Rakza 7
- Tibhar Genius
- Tibhar Evolution MX-S
- Donic Bluefire JP 03
BH Rubbers:
- Yasaka Rakza 7 (played with this on BH and really loved it; since I saw a lot of people rank it high for BH, I don't know if I should look for something else or not)
Thank you.
