Hi Samir, Thanks for reaching out to Butterfly Ask the Experts. We are here to help you with your table tennis, and answer your questions. Primorac Carbon is pretty good choice for you to perform power play. It’s a dependable blade can mix with different rubbers. Like your current set forehand with Rasanter R47 and backhand with DHS Hurricane New 3 is a good match. However as you required that you want to play more speed, control and spin. In this case, I would recommend you to try Mizutani series blades like ZLC or Super ZLC. This blade provides an excellent ball feedback and additional control in variable offensive play. While, Super ZLC is much faster and generates more spin than the regular ZLC, but it’s harder for you to control. You could try these two blades to see which one you feel more comfortable to play with. For rubbers, DHS Hurricane 3 is good with spin, but lack of power. To be honest, only professional player knows how to generate power from DHS Hurricane with the right technique. For intermediate players I would recommend Tenergy 05, it has speed, spin, control all in one. You could easy play those features out with your current techniques. Overall, my recommendation to you is try Mizutani Supper ZLC or Mizutani ZLC blade with Tenergy 05 rubbers. Good luck with your table tennis. Please let us know your feedback. Best wishes! Coach Jia
