Altan - You are able to loop well with your T11+.
Have you looped well with other blades previously and how does these compare with the T11+, slower, faster, more control, better consistency as in more successful strokes?

I was using XVT Ebony Carbon with 868 before trying out the T11+. XVT itself is quite fast. On the heavy side (192 g). To me, T11+ is a little faster and about the same amount of control as the XVT. Just switch to N11 recently for more control.

Are you using the same rubbers with the N11 and T11+?
You will find the N11, easier to loop and with more control but not as fast.
Please give us the verdict.

For the N11, I'm using Palio Wildish Dragon (the generic version Iskandar recommended) for FH and 999 for BH. For the T11+, 999 (slow, control rubber) on both sides. It's fun to use T11+ for drills but it's harder to control for games.

I see you are using the T11+ only for drills.
I think I should end my infatuation with the T11+. It got my fancy due to its reputable speed and light weight. But time and time again I was told that it does not loop well. And due to it's stiffness, not that good control.
Is it due the balsa that made the T11+, light in weight but also it's springy (insufficient dwell time) and hence not good for looping?

Thank you to all of you for a good discussion. While I have not found my solution yet, at least it gave me extra indepth knowledge of the problem. And I now believe that the TT equipment industry is based on vagueness and insufficient info thereby making us buy more and more of their products.
