I will check out the Offensive Classic. I have an allround classic (old one from a premade bat) that has vibrations a little like the first graphite wood, but it is a little slow. How does the offensive classic feel compared to allround classic?

Just reread this and something clicked as to what you are looking for. If you could find a Stiga Allround Oversize, you would probably fall in love. But I don't think they make that any more. OSP Virtuoso would work for you, especially with the largest size head they offer. But a Stiga Allround Evolution would work also. Allround Evolution is faster than Allround Classic but has a very similar feel.

Because of the Spruce ply, the Offensive Classic is a little higher pitched and pingy than any of the blades I mentioned above.

The dialogue around vibration has been a bit confusing. I'm not sure what this says about me but I'm just not sure I'm registering some of the descriptions I have read. and I have a few blades that I have read has a tendency to vibrate. some people talk about vibrations a lot, and how they hate it, and other people talk about feel in a way that seems to be almost interchangeable as a positive. When you hit a ball on a blade that vibrates a lot when do you feel 'bad' vibrations? And do you feel vibrations on a all shots relatively speaking?
I don't think vibration has ever personally bothered me. It has let me know when I have miss hit a ball say towards the handle on Certain blades and this could just put me in the positive feel camp or it could just mean I'm Tone deaf lol. I have always wrapped or used a rubber sleeve on my blades handles which may reduce the bad vibrations. Even though I have recently switched on my main set up I have used dhs rubbers from most of my time playing on the forehand which I have had people tell me blunts feel because of the hardness of the top sheet. But I'm not sure about that.
I guess just hearing someone hash out the difference between vibration bad vibration and feel could be helpful.

I think you are perceptive gmiller. One man's good feel is actually another man's bad vibrations.

NextLevel has given a lot of good information on the subject. Have a read of what he has said. The bad vibration is part of feel. But it is also in part about not such great contact. And a blade that has a lot of feeling will vibrate in a way that doesn't feel great when your contact is bad. And when your contact is good you will feel a totally different kind of feedback.

But if you read what NextLevel wrote, he really already said all this.

One time a friend picked up my blade, hit with it and said, "do you know what I don't like about your racket? I can feel exactly where the ball is on the racket when I hit. That's too weird." Now he is pretty good so he might not need that. But, for me, it sure helps.

A blade with good feeling and good feedback will reward good contact because good contact feels good. And it will not reward bad contact because bad contact will actually feel bad. As a result, on a subcortical level (an unconscious level) your brain-nervous system-body will learn better contact without you even fully realizing what is going on.
