Hi Vishal,
If you are willing to change your blade, I would recommend the Mizutani Jun ZLC as it has great feeling for your away-from-the-table style of play.
For the forehand, you made a great choice going with Tenergy 80 as it has the ability to create spin and a high angle of throw for your style.
For the backhand, I would recommend Tenergy 64 which will give you more speed for your backhand jabbing; however, if you are able to stay a little closer to the table, then Tenergy 25 is a perfect match for your backhand jabbing.
Best of luck!
