Yes, I am talking about that blade. But no, I would not say that a thinner a more flexible blade would enhance control on loop drives. However, a non-carbon blade with more feeling can help. I recommended the PP because of the things I boldfaced in the citation of your original requirements.

You can't get any more control than this. And it qualifies as affordable. If you have no problem generating your own power ...

I am selling new Butterfly Primorac Off- 5ply. Very cheap. I know this does not sound like advice however one seeking more control cannot go wrong with this classic model.

Very thin and very flexy blade means small sweet spot, generally speaking. Not a good thing!

I´ve played with Persson Powerplay for a long time. It´s the most controlled 7-ply blade I know.
It behaves like a 5-ply when playing passively (chops and blocks) with mild touch but much less vibration. When hit hard it definitely generates more power than a traditional 5-ply. Mine came with 87g and 5.9mm, in my opinion it was the best 7-ply blade I´ve had, better than Clipper, P700, Ludeack, Septear and Extrem S.

Thank you for your replies!
1.) Hey Mark, nice to meet you. I have read only good things about the w-6... I just looked into it and this whole time I thought it was a 7 ply... but it's actually a thin 5 ply! Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely consider it.
2.) Hey Gman. You're right, I definitely need to improve my technique... In the meantime, most of the players I play are, "tricky spin type players" and I end up safely looping(spinning) balls to them(I fail at reading their spins so I don't drive more). Also, slow spinny loops is a comfortable part of their game. Much appreciate your input.
3.) Hi Hozuki. Are you talking about the Persson powerplay? Also, are you affirming that thinner, flexier blades give more control/safety for loop drives? Thank you so much! Again i say, all feedback is appreciated!

Improve your technique? Focus on getting more spin out of your stroke instead of power. More spin causes the ball to dip faster which enables you to land more loops. Depending on the level of your opponents, some can handle power loops better than spinny loops or vice versa. If you can do both then you can tailor your tactics accordingly.

If you have not hit with a W6 yet I would suggest you try borrow one for a few hits. My memory of using one fits right in with what you want. I kept chipping the edges by hitting table when serving so I switched to a really cheap blade because I was going through so many. When I switched to short pips on Bh I wanted something stiffer and faster so never went back to W6.

Hey! Thanks for your replies guys!
1.) So Stavros, are you saying thinner and flexier doesn't really mean more safety for loop drives?
2.) Bars, I didn't know "def blades" were good for inverted loop/drives.  That being said... I wouldn't put that in the "affordable" wood blades category... I suppose I didn't do a very good job specifying that.Thanks again for advise, I'll be mulling it over. All feedback is appreciated.

All you need is a good 5-ply all wood blade.

Hello everyone... My name is anong... and I'm an ej... I'm new to posting but I have been reading along for quite some time.
I have a question regarding blade choice. I like to loop on both sides and I wish I could drive more but I play a lot of tricky spin oriented and pips players... So generally, I just kind of safely loop open up most shots and get stuck in rallies just safe looping their chops and spins... So my solution was to get a more control oriented blade so I could loop drive a lot more. I've been using Viscaria and some other high end carbon blades with tenergy/mx-p/r-47 etc... for quite a while now. So.... I've been browsing this forum for very popular, affordable wood blades and they include, the clipper, force pro black, fextra, dj fly, w6 etc... Well, I recently got the dj fly with some of their chinese rubbers and I'm very pleased. Problem is I want even more control... I have no problem generating power.... what to do? I'm thinking about going to the next class of affordable wood blades and they include... Fuga, yinhe e-1, persson powerplay, and gambler instinct.. (Of course I may be missing some good ones... feel free to advise)... but my thinking is that these thinner, flexier blades (with chinese rubbers) will give me the ability to safely drive more... IDK. I obviously know that I need to read the ball better... But will this blade change give me even a little better chance at landing more loop drives? Much Thanks! Anong
