What blades to choose

[T-mobile]

Hey guys, im planning for the future racket combo of mine. Right now ive chosen the rubbers, which are rakza z for FH and nittaku pk50 for BH. I chose those rubbers cuz im prefer to looping and topspinning w/ my FH and i also have interest in chinese style rubbers in the FH so rakza z might fit well. About my BH, im kinda into fast demi backhands, a lil bit of flat hits and some power too cuz BH stroke is shorter than FH stroke and i need it for mid-distance

But the real question is, what kind of blade should i choose and fit those rubbers best. Could u guys recommend some blades that are suitable. Right now i can just thinking of a few( jun mizutani zlc/ super zlc, hugo hal) and i dont know which one is good. Thanks if one of you can think of one recommend 4me

Thanks

Wrong sequence my friend. One should choose his/her blade first. The blade will be the foundation of your new weapon and should be chosen on:

1. Speed which depends heavily on your abilities (better start slow and get faster over time)
2. Your preference of flex vs. stiffness of the blade
3. Your preference on the weigth and weigth distribution
4. Your preference on the handle (small or bulky etc)

This will limit the choices significantly (and I'm almost 100% sure that all mentioned blades are already too fast)

Once you have made up your mind, you can put rubber on that blade which suits you prefrences for hardness, stickyness and catapult, so that the combi best support your current playing style (short motions or longer ones, close to table or a bit away from the table etc).

Donic original Carbospeed is faster than all the blades you listed. Tacky rubbers often work best on fast blades.

Brand marketing and quality control. Carbospeed is quite unknown with varying speed on each blade ranging from very fast to extremely fast.
