I know there is no "best" blade so hopefully if I share my playing style and experience level you can give me some suggestions.
I am around level 1400 and regularly train with much more advanced players. I use a Donic Appelgren Allplay with H3 Neo on forehand and Tenergy 05FX backhand, and my favorite strategy is to serve short with backspin then use backhand to slow-loop the 3rd ball with heavy topspin that even advanced players return far beyond the edge of the table.
This works often, but the problem is that my setup is slow so on the 5th ball, more advanced players can easily return my forehand drives even if I use my body and straight arm to hit as hard as I can. Thus I lose long rallies because advanced players with fast blades punch-block all my drives with low effort.
Do you know a blade that will be a little faster than the Appelgren Allplay while still allowing for spinny 3rd ball loops?
I was looking at:
-Butterfly Innerforce ZLF
-Nittaku Acoustic
-DHS Long 3
Also if there's anything technique or strategy related I can work on please let me know!
thanks
