Can anybody recommend a blade that is both controllable at the table and fast further from the table?

Hugo HAL is a good blade! But I don't think I will like the feeling without a carbon layer tho. Still going to look at it. I'm a huge fan of Hugo since I play rubic's cube - badly - as well lol.

Been searching for this blade.
The closest is an old 5-ply that weighs 97g.
Best in the world close to table.
Looping further away is about 80% of my w968 with a much higher accuracy

I throw in a Stiga Dynasty Carbon with a weigth of around 90g or over.
The blade combined with harder rubbers offers great control close to table and has enough power away from the table. Compared to Viscaria a more wooden touch in passive game, while still being a carbon blade with all its benefits to stiffness and power.
Handle in flared is thicker than the HL5.

Yeah, that would explain it... I find the viscaria works with hurricane and tenergy. But for tenergy especially, when new it has a hard feeling, you can't really feel the grip of the rubber, but within 1 month the rubber softens a bit and starts to play more sweetly. Then after 6 months to a year, depending on how much you play, the blade starts to become clear and softer, it's a blade that requires commitment, it needs time to settle and when it does, it's a dream. It goes from feeling glassy, hard and vague to feeling velvety but crisp and accurate.
On more thing I fond is that it kind of takes the characteristics of the rubbers you put on it as well, I can't really explain it. So I guess that an old softened viscaria with dead old rubbers would be super weird.

Go to a custom blade maker.
Get like a 10 mm blade that's an innerforce blade.
Or get that one ply hinoki, you'll be fueled by the power of 300 years.

I can do one that exceed the speed of sound, but I sort of get that flat-hitting is a dirty word. So...

Probably a Primorac Carbon. Top layer thick hinoki with T5000 carbon. Fast but controllable. Zoran Primorac uses it to play his control style game.

second this, the Dynasty has (probably) the thinnest carbon layer out there, which can only be activated when you hit hard enough, close to table it has a very controlled wood-feel. The only concern is the weight, often around 90gr. I got a cpen version which is only 83gr but it's very rare
