It is possible you don't need more speed but just harder blade.

The PBO-c is a 7.1mm composite, far above average. All the one's on your list are going to be slower.

He wants good control too lol. And the Hinoki gives it control but bang impact when you need it. Not sure if you have the wrong concept or the wrong form. The last time I tried the new joola pbo blades, energon, etc it was pretty fast. If you really want to slow down get a limba outer with alc or zlc if not then I recommend a timo boll alc because of the koto outer while still retaining control. It doesn't fit my playing style so I went for the limba/koto alc route. 

thanks for all your feedbacks. 

Nobilis is a thick blade but not that stiff and also with a softer touch. I am playing now with "hard" rubbers and before with softer ones. 

I am not looking for something faster but something harder. I am already working on my techniques (strokes, body position, racket movement) in order to reduce a bit the arc of my spins. And I hope that a stiffer and harder blade will give me more power. 

CCA is thicker as the Nobilis, it is not less thick. 

Many thanks for all your feedbacks!

You are totally right and I understand that, I know that very well, I play since ten years and I know exactly what you (and I) are talking about. 

I quoted some blades which, according to manufacturers, are "slightly" harder and stiffer, but still with good feeling. I did not quote a Nittaku Feruku which, I have used it, it is unbelievable for his hardness. 

I know that I would need to adjust at the beginning, but I was looking for someone who tried those blades and could give feedbacks. 

Anyway, thanks for yours!

I second this. None of the blades you listed in your op really would suit you. You're gonna hate the long v the most lol. Carbonado is actually nice. And if you want more power then get the 290 or 245 lol

Because he wants something harder. The long 5 is not hard compared to the pbo c he's using... He specifically said harder and faster

Correct but also I've noticed why not everyone uses this setup. I have no issue with inner carbon blades at all but at the same time people can't adjust to the dual gears basically. But nonetheless I use that myself currently a limba outer and alc inner 

What do you think of CCA ? Better than 190?

What I read about  carbonado 190 was very diifrent when I bought it

Such as? It's quite a nice blade. Maybe you just got a bad batch. Not all blades are equal nor would they be the exact match as other people who reviewed them described it as. If you don't like it I'll gladly take it off of your hands :)

Hi @ProtossTT, you wrote some messages before: "If you go for stiffer and harder you will lose control and first shot placement/timing. Say bye bye to flex or any dwell for slower shots. If you cannot generate the power yourself with a 7 ply all wood then there's something wrong.", 

Next level recommended and I just simply said I agree too.

I have a long 5 but I prefer bigger handles and sometimes the consistently of a good quality blade is inconsistent. Same thing with the long 3. I got a good one sold it then wanted another and it was a dud. CCA I tried out but the handle is weird both the CCA unlimited and VS unlimited. They're not bad but for me when I tried the carbonado series 45,90, and 190 stood out for me. 

IF you think the 190 is too stiff, try the 145 or the 90.

The thing is that you said you wanted something harder and stiffer.  While HL5 is possibly harder, it is unlikely to be stiffer than a Nobilis.  The Carbonados are definitely harder - how much stiffer when you get to the 145 or the 90, unlikely, as the Nobilis is thicker.  Usually, it is better to test for yourself.  If someone had told me I would like the 190 before I used it, I would have told them they were crazy since I tend to hate blades like this.  But I am playing okay with it (better than I do with the comparable Boll ALC) and have committed to getting better with it.  That counts for a lot.
