I still use my trusty Waldner Diablo Senso (OFF- in the early 2000's), it's obviously slower now, more of an ALL+ blade so I tried some Rasanater 47 max rubbers... big mistake ! short game is still ok, BH looping, Block, counter looping were my main strenghts and still are with that rubber, but it's a nightmare when it comes to FH looping
I'm coming back to more reasonable weapons: 2.0mm Rasanter 42 will be all I need, will be trying a Sanwei Target National on FH too.
I've bought a Viscaria though, just to see if switching blades with less powered rubbers would give me the ideal mix between the control, dwell time and speed I want. It is the rubbers ? is it the blade ? that's the question...
Yes general consensus is: chinese tacky rubber on FH, more bouncy euro/jap style on BH, and yes follow the friends here telling you all wood 5 ply blades ALL+/OFF- are the ideal pieces of equipment to begin with, I'm still playing with one of them at 48 and used them for 20 years or so.
