Great post. I think TurboZ has this right. Especially if you found a Clipper too slow. I actually missed the detail that your old blade was 115 grams.
It will be an adventure trying to find a blade with that kind of weight. But DHS may be your best bet.

I'm not exactly sure, but didn't Samsonov use a heavy butterfly blade for the longest time before he was forced to retire it? He's been experimenting with different setups ever since.
Seriously though, there is no set rule that says you have to use one blade make/model and stick with it for your whole career to become successful. Ma Long switched through several blades in his career. His coach encourages his players to experiment with different setups too. It is the players who are often tentative to experiment because it can affect their game negatively. But the last thing LGL wants to have is a player pigeonholing himself with a setup that may not be optimal for his style, because change could also affect their game positively.
