Advise needed for new setup.

[rembem]

Since i quit playing tabletennis 23 years ago when i was about 16 years old i started playing again last year summer. I am very happy that i did and realise now how much i have missed it all these years.
I started playing with some cheap ready made bat (Joola Carbon Pro) that needed to be upgraded soon.
I then bought a custom made Donic persson power AR senso racket with Gewo target air tec (1,7mm) wich seemed a bit on the fast side but i got used to it relatively fast. I upgraded this setup after about 5 months for a Stiga Allround classic WRB with Rakza 7 soft. I realy loved this setup from the first moment i played with it. Confidence went up a lot and i could just do more of what in my head i thought i was able to do.
Now i feel like i need a little bit more speed (and spin?) but i dont really want less control.
I came across the Andro Ligna TP all, would this be an upgrade compared to my current Stiga AC? And what rubbers would be good to put on it?
Or any other ideas/advice?
My playing style is very allround, i am ok at defending wich i enjoy most at training, but in a match i am much more attacking style player, blocking and smashing.

When I tried them Power Allround seemed faster than Stiga Allround Classic. My memories may be hazy though. Maybe consider Donic Persson Powerplay.

I've had a Persson Powerplay and it's good for precision play, smash and block, but personally I find it a bit difficult to create spin and loop with compared to less stiff blades.
I would recommend 'Avalox Blue Thunder 555', but one of the light ones below 85 g. Or a heavier 'Stiga Allround Evolution' around 90 g. It's a little bit better for smash and placements (A light One would probably not give you much extra). I can Also create a little more spin using the same rubbers compared to my light bt555. 'Stiga Energy Wood WRB V2' could also be a great choice in a similar vein as the 2 others.

Xiom All Around S with vwga japan 2.0mm both sides.

The direct step up in blade would be a Stiga Allround Evolution or Azalea ALL and to keep the Rakza 7 Soft at the thickness you're currently using.

Or to stay with your Allround Classic and go up in thickness on the Rakza 7 Soft.

Yogi's suggestion is good too.

Thanks for the advice, i think i will go for the Xiom Offensive S with the same Rakza 7 Soft rubbers. What do you think?

I think that's a great choice. Not too fast and not too slow. And it's on sale for 33€ at tt11 I see

Changing blade usually has a bigger effect compared to changing rubbers (unless you make a big change and go something like T05 Hard). Why not just try Rakza 7 on one side to see if it achieves what you're after?

Are your previous rubbers already on max thickness?

TT11 has TSP SWAT on offer, check out the thread on here, popularity / unpopularity SWAT (or similar !!!!) There's some good posts about this blade, Off- rating, one of the most popular blades in Japan
