Hello, TTD 
So I've purchased Nittaku Ludeack 7 ply wooden blade as an upgrade from Nittaku Acoustic (same wooden composition, but 5 ply) and find it amazing in doing loops, controlling the game is just outstanding, etc.
But one aspect I don't like at all: blocking. It's more stable when I play against an experienced player with it's speed and consistency, but against less experienced / less stable topspins I find it difficult to have a stable block.
The rubbers I use are Nittaku FastArc G1 2.0(max) on both sides.
For example, with Rakza 7 on an ALC Blade I find it much easier to have a stable block, which even helps a lot in the competitive game (but I don't have a confidence to play full swing top spins and a little less control in general, so I stick to Nittaku Ludeack for now).
The question: is it a problem for all softer wooden blades or I can adjust the blocks on my backhand (cause this is what I use for training blocks and in game more often, than forehand of course) using different type of rubber - softer or harder? May be use modern tensor rubber like Tenergy/Rasanter/whatever faster rubber or is it a 'feeling' thing and I just need to get used to it?
I really love this blade and may be I can improve the backhand block somehow. Here's a short vid why I love this blade so much for looping, as well as Acoustic
