I think blade matters a lot. Today I played with Gambler Black out carbon blade with H3 on the FH and Rakza 7 soft on the BH. I am surprised that I could get a lot of balls back on the table and if I have to turn from defense to offense, it is pretty easy. I mean My second favorite blade is Gambler Fire Dragon Hinoki. Now I have tried Viscaria, Acoustic carbon, Gambler Fire Dragon Fast, and Gambler Vector Hinoki. None of them really feels right. In fact, Gambler Fire Dragon Fast just feels fast and no touch. Hard to describe.I tried moving my hard rubbers to a different blade, and I'm actually starting to play much better. It's starting to feel less absurdly hard to me. Maybe the feeling of the blade helped alleviate some issues, or maybe I'm just getting more used to the hardness itself.
I think blade is absolutely important for you.
