both of you please settle the debate and decide on one blade for me
That was golden
Did you already try the tacky rubbers with dense sponge, like H3, Battle 2, Big Dipper, Bloom Power, which feel more or less dead on bounce? Why am I asking? I think the PG5 is not very fast blade. It doesn't feel special, but it doesn't feel wrong either. I know it is all relative, it's just my opinion. Also the R7 is not super fast rubber either, and the quality is good (again, just my opinion of Rakza rubbers). I think your current setup is pretty good. If you can't control it, and generally as a beginner, it's good to try a wide range of options. If you buy Palio AK47 (it is not bad), perhaps a bit slower than R7, cheaper but also worse in durability and quality, it will not be so very far from R7 and the range will not get wider much. Also if you buy a 5-ply, slightly slower blade, nothing wrong with it, but again the range of experiences will not get much wider against PG5 imo, to justify it now. Trying the rubbers mentioned above would be more significantly different experience. You may, and also you may not, like it. Imo, you could buy H3 Neo commercial, H39 on FH, H37 on BH, learn to glue it on PG5 yourself, play with it 1/2 year and see then.
