Help me find a balde

This user has no status.
I am a close to the table left handed player, I am offensive, I like to flick short serves, do spinny shots from the bh, my thing is placing the ball.
I use a latika light, and I loved it, but when I want to hit te ball with my backhand I feel the balde like a bunch of cardboard.
I wanna get a new blade similar to the latika, but whit a more sharp feeling and a biggest head size.
Help me please [emoji28]

Feels like cardboard, you mean it feels soft and not solid????
Yess, after searching a lot Im thinking about Timo Boll w7, reviews say its such a hard blade, but allwood, of Waldner Senso Carbon, that is slower, and softer, (thats what reviews say) but it has Carbon.
I have to say that I want to pair it with two Rakza 7 soft, or a Rakza 7 Soft, and Tibhar EL-P

Between that options I would choose any ALC options, I love the look of the Harimoto's blade, but I think its off+ so its very fast for me, and the Innerforce sound very nice, but I dont know how fast they are.

innerforce blades are not that fast as TB ALC or even Viscaria

- OP is using a 5 ply all wood blade that is Off-.
- He said he wants something similar but a sharper feel and large head size.

Given this, why are people giving advice for him to get composite blades that are exponentially faster than the Latika Light?

Some 5 ply wood blades that might be good:

Avalox P500

Nittaku Acoustic

Xiom Offensive S (excellent especially for the price but excellent regardless of price)

Next Spear

----

With a larger head size:

Tibhar Stratus Power Wood

Butterfly Petr Korbel

Nittaku Tenor

OSP Virutuoso Off- or Plus (these have an option for S (157x150mm), M (158x150mm), and L (159x150mm).

But the ones with a bigger head size don't really have a sharp feel. They have a big feel. But not sharp feel.

All the blades listed above are 5 ply all wood blades in the Off- speed class. Korbel and Stratus Power Wood are a little faster than all the other blades.

Avalox P500 has a Koto top ply so it has more snap and sharper feel than any of the others.

Nexy Spear is actually amazingly good. I got this blade for my sister and man I love it. That blade cured my sister's EJing. :)

Offensive S may be the best value: price/quality.

If money is not an issue, my favorites of the choices above would be the OSP V+ or the Nexy Spear.
