By the way Mark, based on a few things you've said in a few posts, a new setup might not be a bad idea.
These blades would be good for you (in no particular order):
1) Stiga Allround Evolution
2) Yasaka Sweden Extra
3) Tibhar Stratus Power Wood
Those are the inexpensive versions. Next are the expensive versions:
1) Nittaku Violin
2) Nttaku Acoustic
3) OSP Virtuoso Off-
The interesting thing is, the more expensive blades don't necessarily play much better than the less expensive ones. But they might be better crafted and more solid, so, less delicate. I know that Stiga blade is pretty delicate and my OSP V+ is a tank. I have hit the corner of the table with it and thought, "oh no, I'm gonna have to fix the damage," and there wasn't any!!! My V Off- is slightly less indestructible but still, totally solid.
But the more expensive ones will have excellent feeling. And if you get a good one, with the less expensive ones, they will have pretty close to as good feeling. Which is actually the important issue.
If I was you I would pair that with T05FX instead of the T64FX simply because the 05FX will be a little slower, get more spin and allow you to get a bigger arc on your loop.
If you got that setup and used it, for the first week or two, it would feel kind of slow, and you would start out not fully loving it. After about two weeks your technique would have adjusted to the new setup and it will feel like it is a normal speed. After about 2 months of training (if you play 3 or more times a week) it would start feeling like the right speed. And then if you tried your TB ALC it would feel a little faster than you want.
But as your technique adjusts to the slower spinnier setup, it will get better, you will start becoming more effective and efficient at adding more force to your strokes and you will start getting more spin and the pace of your ball, by the end of about 2 months will be about the same as it WAS with the faster setup before you changed because your technique will have actually had to have improved to get the same pace with the slower racket. AND you will have WAY more control. And the spin on your shots will start giving people who were your level more trouble so your shots will be harder to handle. And your technique and therefore your level will go up one level in that period of adjusting to the slower setup.
So, it would be a worthwhile thing to do. Provided you can afford the expense.
