I’m messing around with a Hadraw sk blade and Hurricane 8 (mid hard) rubbers for a couple months now. I LOVE the short play and the spin. But it’s a very slow setup overall (slow blade and Chinese rubber). Perfectly possible to make deadly loops but it’s so unforgiving when I’m out of position and can’t apply my body fully.
Otoh I have a Primorac with G1. Super fun setup, linear, not too bouncy, and I still get a decent chance at landing a shot when I’m not positioned right (which is often). But... it’s less spinny (or more direct kind of spinny) and short touch play is not as controllable.
Would it be possible to inject some of the G1 fun into the Hurricane 8 without losing the spin and touch play, if I got a faster blade? If so, what kind of blade, 5-ply, 7-ply, carbon? The Stiga Exclusive at TTEX is not too expensive and a fast 5-ply blade... or Viscaria at 3x the price? Or would a faster blade ruin the touch play without injecting enough fun?
No boosting. Hurricane 8 is about same as H3 Neo fresh from the shop.
