Thanks. I may have misunderstand. You just tested the commercial HL5, but never owns it right?
The less head heavy thing kinda scares me. I am really used with it, and it is the main struggle with my Viscaria. I did put some sponge on the head, to be more headheavy, but apparently it is illegal (and ugly). I think, also, i lack control with outer carbon. That is why i am thinking of switching back to a DHS blade, with head heaviness.
On the backhand, i used H3 NEO 37, H8-80 and Vega X. All of them have quality, and drawback. BTY rubber are too expensive for something that last 2/3 months.
I think, for a FH oriented player, the HL5/968 is a go to, but the king ACB makes me wonder if it could fit. I am mostly (only) doing topspin, i never knew how to hit the ball without spin. I suck at blocking too, so my game as been built arroun 3rd ball attack, and FH topspin. I can spin a lot with the BH too, I have a big BH (not just the wrist, but a huge movement), and if confident and placed correctly, I can send a huge topsin, like a terminal shot with it (kinda like a single hand BH from regular Tennis). But i struggled with that shot since the Viscaria. I allways come back to the Fang Bo carbon, but there has been tear off with time, and it needs change.
