Hey everyone.

I'm looking for a blade with a handle that locks my hand in the right position. I'm used to straight handles, but they give me too much free hand. I have some forehand-gripping and some backhand-gripping (handle related). Not enough time to switch gripping. Makes the ball go in the wrong direction and not for the place I aim for. And that's not good for my technique developing.
I try to change it, but the "gripping" happens automatically after serving (serving without holding around the handle, like most players does).

Flared handles tend to be too narrow for me. I've hold a Clipper CR (maybe WRB too) with legend handle in my hand, it was too narrow. I've hold an Allround classic with master handle as well, and it felt better in my hand. wider on the neck than the Clipper CR.
What about the following handle types?

Anatomic - I've read it fits the hand better, and should give less free hand.

Donic Dotec handle - Should have better fitting than anatomic.

I'm using softish blades, but found out that stiffer blades are better for my style.

I want a new blade with the following requirements:

All-wood

Great for short distance

A little slower than Clipper Wood

Weight: 80 - 85g

Stiffness: Medium - hard

Feeling: soft

A bigger sweetspot than soft blades have (I guess that's natural for a stiffer blade).

If Dotec is the best handle choice it should be Ovchtarov off. It weighs 80 g.

If anatomic handle is a better choice then wich blade would be a very good choice? The only choices i found myself is Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive (Might be too fast), or TSP Swat.

Butterfly Maze t-tec all+ might be a choice as well. Maybe just too light. I'm planning on using Baracuda on both sides on my final choice.

Wich would be the best choice.
If someone have a better choice you're welcome.

Thanks alot :)
