Which ever one guarantees you are always in the right position and don't mistime your swing. Also, one that is not too fast. Also, you need to be able to hit the rest of your shots too. No one best, a ton of blades will be fine.

Dwell time & flex are important. To me, so is the size of the sweet spot.
Timo Boll ZLF has all 3 attributes. If you don't care about sweet spot size, try Joola Rossi Fire (yes, relatively unknown but great).

TB ZLF is a good option, it's a looping blade but is still fast.
Nittaku Violin is superb looping blade, though a little slower. |

I'll offer up a very unconventional choice, but since I picked it up I've had so much fun - stiga tube carbo WRB. This blade feels like an all wood blade, it just has an enlarged sweet spot. The spin is excellent. It's stiff at 6.5 or so mm thick which suits my preference. I love it with h3 neo on the forehand and boost TC on the backhand. Good feedback but no hollow feeling, much softer than rosewood for example, but faster. The softness and large sweet spot makes it very powerful spin wise for looping.
But beware, a lot of people don't like this blade, it doesn't have much of a reputation, still I think its excellent. Edited by chronos - 06/24/2012 at 7:56pm |

I have both the Spirit & the ZLF. Spirit is the better all-round blade of the two but the ZLF comfortably beats it in the looping department IMO.

Ok, I'll bite. Here is your answer This question is going on 10 years old at MyTT. As others have pointed out, the threads quickly become a fan-festival-of-favorites. Literally tens of these "Best Looping Blade" threads exist, and that link is a quick way to check out all of them. But if you want a good answer for your game, here are some questions you might answer first: 1) For what level of play? (some of the best looping blades are too slow for US2400 players :) 2) From what distance from the table (some blades excel at close table looping, others mid or further) 3) With what type of rubbers? (some of the best looping blades prefer Chinese rubbers, others German or Japanese :) 4) In what speed class (ALL, OFF-, OFF, OFF+)? Examples: For US1500-2000+, close to mid distance looping, with Chinese Tacky/Hard rubber on FH, the OSP Expert is a monster of a looping blade that plays ALL+/OFF- at the table for control and OFF-/OFF as you retreat due to the big flex. or for US1000-> ??? levels, again close to mid distance, with virtually any type of FH rubber, the Yasaka Extra is a proven looping blade that plays ALL+ to OFF- speeds with good spin and solid control. To some degree, blade speed and rubber choice will influence what distance a blade performs its best (consistent with most power) loops. |

Most important is the rubber setup for the blade as not all rubbers are good for looping. And another factor is your personal experience after using a variety of rubbers and blades. Therefore 'the best looping blade' is an individual selection.

I'm very pleased seeing this topic starts almost every week. Also recommended best glue, best rubbers, best 1,3-5-7-9-11 plies blades or Waldner vs. Mike Tyson in car racing.

I only played with Viscaria extensively to know it is a great looping paddle, would like to try Timo Boll Spirit and Timo Boll ALC if I get a chance, Butterfly makes great paddles.
Another important point is the rubber, seems like H3 neo work great with Viscaria, both have more gears. if you want to have great loops, get a 39/2.15mm H3 and boosted it, the reason is if you buy most other rubbers, you pretty much know that rubber is going down hill after first few weeks, but when you boost the H3, you are going to experience "different" feelings after each boost and as result from boosting effect slowly goes down, at some point, you might hit a sweet spot, which you can swing or loop with great confidence(given that your form is good). After you learned your preference on boosting, it is like having slightly different rubbers at your on control. This really helped me to develop my game without trying new rubbers and paddles all the time.

968's FH is amazing, the best one I have tried. Not using it because 1) handle is too small 2) big head size makes the entire blade heavier than others.
