Question:

I have a good forehand and I like to topspin a lot I only counter, block and push from backhand I don’t always have my action right. Should I use lin gaoyuan alc with dignics 80 on forehand and rozena on backhand or should I use harimoto alc with same rubbers keeping weight in mind and I also want a little review of these two blades according to my style
