Why are Stiff blades better for short pimples?

Dude, hows the collection so far?

I think the P700 is a bit like going backwards for you. Flexible and kinda soft (IMO). Stick with your new Black Edition or find yourself a DHS 08 on ebay (the ultimate smasher, if you can tame it for the inverted half).

I also had a few minutes with a visitor's Timo Boll T5000. One of the few carbon blades that didn't feel "boxy". Hard, stiff, fast, and somewhat crisp for a composite. Good stuff *hint *hint.

Can't handle the Black Edition, I am using the Yinhe M202 (Carbon Inner Limba outers) at the moment but it has no feeling. I have no middle game with it!!

If I don't like it it will sell easily though!!

Ahh the feel, hardest part to get right lol. A hint, find a composition type you like and try a few blades of the same at varying thicknesses. You'll dial it in soon enough.

Stiffness is also a good starting point, at least that part is measurable. By your comments on the Fextra and Force Blue, I'm guessing you like something in the low-mid 1300hz.

I reckon the Yinhe is pretty stiff and hard, but it seems to be ok on big loops on fh!
I should probably persist with it, but I might as well try the Avalox P700, everyone talks about them as the holy grail for pimples.

You mean the holy grail trinkets sold in street markets? Haha. Soon enough you will read about the Boll W7, then an idea gets in your head that the true grail is actually the fabled Butterfly Clearfield...

Im using sp og bh with Fextra 7 wood. Excellent for sp.
Its now over 1 year since i switched from inverted bh to sp bachhand. And wow how many matches i m winning with ease now than before.
So for me right now Fextra 7 is perfect with sp on bh

Have you try another blade of mars series? I have only played with M102, it is not really hard, and looping, driving, demi... is excellent, except the weight is 95 g- that make me difficult in moving FH - BH, so i sold it with a little regret. I heard from the seller that M202 is the hardest version because of the ayous core.... i think you could try another of mars series.
