Hi. I have 4 blades
1. Stiga Clipper CR. FH: Stiga Power Lt, BH: Xiom Vega Elite
2. Xiom Stradivarius. FH: Stiga Power Lt, BH: Xiom Vega Asia
3. Xiom Ignito. FH: Xiom Vega Europe, BH: Joola Rhyzm 42
4. Xiom Extreme S. FH: DHS Skyline tg3 Neo, BH: 729 Aurora

Except the Stiga all feel very weird when playing..... i have a feeling that my rubber blade combinations are not quite right... any help regarding these will be appreciated...
Rubbers available for change:
1. Stiga Power Lt
2. Friendship Aurora
3. Palio Cj8000
4. Sanwei Ringslink
5. Yinhe Saturn Pro ( Soft and Medium)

I loop from both BH and FH and like to push the ball and block...
I have been playing for 2 years... and all these blades have been given to me as gifts

I think that the problem is not rubber-blade combinations but that all your blades are quite demanding for the game level.
If Stiga blade is ok for you then stick with it and improve your skills.
Actually nobody except you can choose good or bad combination. 2 main reasons:
1. The whole combination looks not like "rubber-blade" but "rubber-blade- PLAYER"!
2. Blade's characteristics varies even among the same model because of wood. So for example if someone tried rubbers with his blade (the same model that you have)- no guarantee that his impression would be the same if he tries them with YOUR blade.

I've only used the Stiga Clipper CR one that was a non-WRB.
To be honest I couldn't cope with the speed of the blaðe and found that it only worked with a high throw rubber like T05 which make it a little more bonkers.

Would you not consider something along the lines of a 5 ply in the ALL+ / OFF - category ?
You can speed up or down the blaðe with the rubbers.
I'm not a fan of the chinese rubbers preferring something along the lines of Donic S2 / Tibhar evolution FX-P or even an Omega V Europe if you're looking for a long lasting quality rubber.
