Need help with blade choice.

[xVill]

Hi guys I am a two-winged looper. I am currently using an off- blade with Rasant and Rasant Grip on each side. This blade is good up close to the table however it lacks away from the table power. My strokes are becoming more advanced I was just wondering what blade would suit me? I was looking at either the Hurricane Long 3, Butterfly Viscaria, TB Spirit or the TB ALC. Thanks in advance.

Mizutani Jun is a good blade away from the table with good control close to the table as well. Worth a look

With the new ball, and new super zlc blades coming out, i would wait until the new ball comes out to choose a new blade. Test it with the new ball.

I have an 896 ALL+ to OFF- blade with Regular Rasant on FH side that is FASTER from mid-distance counterlooping than TBS with Aurus.

You want faster performance with a familiar blade, try slapping on a sheet of Calibra LT to that blade and see how it goes, that joker is fast with a capital B.

Which blade and what rubber thickness?

A lot of players, pros and amateurs, play with off- blades and don't lack power away from the table. Have a chat with a coach - perhaps a simple small change in your looping technique will bring about the desired effect without sacrificing the control and feel of an off- blade.

Also, as you play better opponents, you will inevitably find that some of your shots become less effective against better opposition. Changing equipment is not the best way to deal with this.

I'm a two-winged looper, too. I'm using Viscaria with Andro Rasant on my BH. It's really great, powerful, good feeling, blocking. You can't go wrong with it.

I think the TB Spirit is good. It is not so expensive, and my coach says that the TB Spirit has lots of control and feeling. Lots of speed, too.

i would say viscaria

i would say viscaria

I purchased one last Wednesday from TTnPP.com along with a sheet of Tuttle Bejing IV and Kokutaku Explosion, both I will be boosting with Falco to get the sponge a little softer.

From a OFF- blade go with Viscaria can't go wrong

I dont know about that. BTY's QC had slipped abit with the new Alu Viscarias and the ZJK original.....I have found multiple samples of both that really feels pretty off from the norm.

looking for away from the table power??
then try stiga oc

 

[weiren_lim]

TB Spirit is great for power... combine it with Tenergy 05 on the FH and you've got a monster looping setup. The drawback is... your control may suffer in short game.

Stiga OC is a 5 ply wood that was made for 38mm balls....even the newer NCT or CR versions arent very good at power, let alone away from table....

I bought two Viscarias. Main setup is about 87G i wanted it a little heavier though and the second one only weighs like 85 . Nonetheless this blade is by far the best thing I have ever used. massive amounts of control but when i go back from the table it is a monster. I have H3 NEO with 3 layers of Falco on it and it just murders everything.
