Try a flexible blade first like Stiga Azalea Off or Xiom Offensive S.

Yes I think this is a bit of personal preference but my current blade the Gambler Fire Dragon Touch is a flexy medium at best speed blade.
I like it. They have a fast version but I prefer the Touch one as I think short drop shots and all the necessary short play shots are easier.
Also to the OP, perhaps it's just me but I don't like a thick (as in diameter size of the handle in how round it is) handle. Or if the handle is more round vs say oval, I don't like that for comfort.
It's hard to describe. This illustration should help.
If you have a really thick handle, the paddle at its straightest would be kinda like the Red line shown here.
But if your handle thickness is skinner or more oval shaped, you'll be able to hold the paddle flatter or more in line with your hand like the Green line shown here.
Anyways, I've had a few blades over the years. My Stiga Clipper? Oval, skinny & comfortable. Same for my Gambler. Pretty much perfect. But also once had a DHS PG7 penhold and that handle was incredibly thick & round and I did not care for it.
I suppose Jpens (what I originally started out playing with) do this the best in that they're incredibly skinny and built for comfort.
