Hey, great forum! I am looking for blade advice, please:
- playing for 7 years
- training 2x per week
- offensive style, often attempting to start the first spin, from backhand and forehand
- reasonable skills: winning most games in our league (which is like 4 leagues below the top league in my country)
- Xiom Vega Japan Rubbers, max, on both hands (I dont want to change those)
I currently have the Butterfly Liu Shiwen ZLF blade. Now I understand that it is much too fast for me: I believe I make too many errors (spin, but also serve, chopping, blocks), and I have difficulties improving my spin accuracy - I think the fast blade does not help me here.
I tried the Butterfly Gionis Carbon All+, and I like it. I wondered if that sounds like a good fit for me? I have some doubts still, because I would like a blade which is a bit faster than the latter, but with the same control
What I also thought of:
- Butterfly Timo Boll ALC (too fast?)
- Butterfly Primorac (Allwood) (still relevant or are today's carbons better for control and speed?)
Best,
T
