The blade feels heavy due to the hollow handle probably.  If you are using MAX rubbers, try 2.0mm to reduce the weight a bit.  If it feels really bad to you, take this as a lesson and sell the blade.

If you are weight sensitive, better use a scale, and check the weight of the blade that you like. That would be more or less the standard weight for you. Next time you buy a blade, ask for available alternatives in weight, the difference between one blade and the other (of the same brand and same type) can be more than 10 grams.

The problem could also be, thaat you are holding it to long down onn the handle. Try to hold a bit longer up on the handle!

Or... buy some 3kg dumbells and get some strength! If you can handle a tennis racquet you can handle a table tennis bat.

10g at 3 and 9

20g at the end of handle

hallur: yes you're right... yesterday i try to play with little bit upper handle, and it's fell better than before.
 
mdjenders : did you interesting to buy my blade..? Smile
 
but for me is need to practise a little bit longer to find the balance, if i couldn' get it, i'll sell it. right now i interesting to use Donic Carbochev offensive blade, this blade more suitable for me i think. how about you guys...?
 
anyway... thanks for all

If the weight is still bugging you (trust me, I know how that goes, plenty of arm strength but have a partially blown rotator cuff) I'd suggest, as someone else said, asking the supplier for the lightest blade possible or the ideal weight, if available. Another option would be to go down one thickness of sponge, especially on the backhand, if you're a forehand dominant player. I did this to help with the weight a while back, and it helped my control considerably off the backhand to boot.
 
 Good luck,
