How will the speed change when you have anti on a fast or a medium fats blade ?
Will it be the same due to the dead sponge or will it increase ?
I have a fast andro off+ that I would like to try with Neoanti and my beloved Tenergy 5

I've used anti on different blade and put the same sheet on different blades. The speed of the blade affects how quickly the anti plays, as with other rubbers. A faster blade will cause the anti to play quicker, a slower blade will slow it down. You've just got to get the combination of blade and rubber to suit what you want.
If you don't want the anti side to play quicker you could always use a slower anti to go with a faster blade.

Another one bites the dust.

Anti on a fast blade would be faster than anti on a slower blade, but it would still offer a good contrast compared to your fast rubber. I think you should be using the Tenergy at least 75% of the time, with your anti mixed in to throw off your opponent's timing and keep them off balance. If you use the anti too much, the opponent will get used to it and start attacking it.

My whole set-up costs less than a sheet of Butterfly Dignics

what does others do do they use medium or gast blades ?
I think I need the speed for my FH looping.

Agree with MNNB you should still have an adequate pace gap as both rubbers will play quicker so I don't think that's too much of an issue.

I guess it depends on your game. Do you need the power on the forehand side or do you need the control on the anti side more. It's probably more of an issue with the banning of speed glue as begore you could have the best of both worlds.

The question for me is: Is the extra speed gained on the forehand more advantageous than the increased pace on the anti side? I think you've already answered that question for yourself.

Just to add to the mix...
Have you tried an allround / slow blade for your loops?

Loops can be more effective with a slower pace but increased spin. Using a slower blade can give you more time to impart that spin onto the ball.
I say this because my loops tend to turn into forhand drives if the blade/rubber is toooooooooooo quick

It may also depend on whether if you graze or drive your loops.
