Hi, I´m looking for a fast but yet controllable setup which supports compact strokes. At the moment I´m playing with a Nittaku Acoustic Large Size Handle (FH:Hexer, BH: Aurus Soft), which I really like but it´s a little bit too soft. I would like to find a blade which has less flex and therefore is more suitable for loopdrives than the Acoustic. However the blade shouldn´t be very heavy or head-heavy. Concerning the rubbers I´m more or less satisfied, but I would maybe change them depending on my new blade. Thanks in advance, Felix |

My vote is for a Micheal Maze (ALC) ... Great value for money these days, either new or used ... Not too far a deviation but increased power from your current blade ...  ------------- 1. Mizutani Jun ZLC, FH T80, BH T05 |

Thanks, I will bear that in mind. Any other suggestions (Allwood blades e.g.)? |

| You mentioned your acoustic is soft and after that you were saying is too flexy. What bothers you much? IMHO acoustic is a very powerfull blade are you sure the lack of power is not because your skills. Did a coach tell you is necesary to make the next step in choosing a stronger blade? |

The classic Clipper Wood could be the answer to your problem! :) ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

The rather soft feeling actually doesn´t bother me too much. However I would like a slightly stiffer blade, as nowadays my game is more centered on fast loops. I tested the Ebenholz VII and although I found it lacked a little dwell time, I played succesfully with it. In conclusion, I would like something which is faster and stiffer than Acoustic, but flexier than Ebenholz VII. In addition it´s important, that the blade is balanced, which is why I have doubts about both P700 and Clipper. |

Using the Legend handle, makes the Clipper more balanced compared to using other handles. :) ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

If not, you could try the Nittaku Ludeack or Barwell. :) ------------- Main Setup: Timo Boll Spirit FH: Neo H3 Prov 39deg BH: Xiom Musa Stiga Clipper Wood FH: Neo Skyline 3 BH: Stiga Neos Sound ST Avenger 5 FH: Neo H3 Bh: Xiom Musa |

I would say a M.Maze but if you want something faster, you should go for a Timo Boll ZLC. ------------- OSP Virtuoso SQST Tenergy 05(black 1,9mm FH) Tenergy 05(red 1,9mm BH) http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74157&title=feedback-strataras" rel="nofollow - Feedback |

I haven't tried Acoustic, but Latika may be the blade you've been looking for. Just specify the weight you prefer and you'll be fine. ------------- Life is too short for defensive play. https://twitter.com/spinnier_com" rel="nofollow - https://twitter.com/spinnier_com https://fb.me/spinnier" rel="nofollow - fb.me/spinnier |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I´ve had recommendations for composite blades as well as allwood blades now which I think is interesting. What is the head size of the Nittaku Ludeack? I normally don´t like playing with blades bigger than 150x157 as they tend to be too head-heavy for ma taste. |

About blade balance, some years ago I used to play with P700 FL with T05 both sides (heavy rubbers) and the balance was fine, not head heavy at all. ------------- Dynaryz AGR /Yasaka Goiabao 5 / Dynaryz AGR |

I have one last question. I read a lot of positive things about the Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive? Would that be an option, as well? I´ve had good experiences with Yasaka so this seems interesting, especially as their prices are pretty good. |
