Please do tell! :D
Standard Long 5, standard WCQ, a sheet of Xiang Peng STAR National blue sponge and a sheet of non-NEO National.

I figured I might as well try every easily-available forehand H3 version now when they're cheaper. People say Provincial is all you need but I have found advantages in the National rubber. Maybe not worth the money per-se, but I think there really is a capability advantage that opens up a lot in the higher impact shots. I wasn't interested in buying a few other versions I've never tried on my own blade but I can guess how they are.

Also didn't buy any red sheets because strictly speaking my backhand isn't advanced enough to warrant it; impact isn't high enough that I'll benefit from the higher grades right now. I may even play worse with them because they're more elastic in some shots that I want to be more damped for my current skills.

I'm intending to use the Long 5 as the main blade, but I figured screw it, now when the discounts are huge, I might as well buy one more blade that I'll probably like, and it's never bad to have a backup with how flimsy DHS blades are. I really loved the B2 so I doubt I'll not like the others.
