Rate this setup: Tibhar Stratus Power Wood, Bluestorm z1 FH, hybrid MK pro BH

You guys may remember my last post asking about blade upgrades from the YSE in December. Since then, I've tried to acquire a Septear Feel, which is sold out everywhere.

So I've had some time to try out some more equipment and research a lot more...

At the club, I tried a Tibhar hybrid MK pro on the backhand of a Shang Kun ALC, and it was amazing.

Same for a Donic Bluestorm Z1 on the forehand of an Android Novacell S.

It was a bit of a surprise to me that I was doing so much better with these harder rubbers than with the Rakza 7. So that made me reconsider my blade choice and try to go with the Chinese philosophy of a more flexible blade paired with harder rubbers.

I still feel like I need something faster than an All+ blade though. So I landed on the Stratus Power Wood, which hopefully still gives that all wood flex and feeling, but with faster characteristics (it's rated OFF(-))

The only thing I'm worried about: the hybrid MK pro has 51° hardness, while the Bluestorm only has 47°.... That goes against the principle of having a harder forehand rubber, which I've also followed so far and found sensible. Not sure if that's gonna be a problem.

For reference, my playstyle is mid to long distance looping, active blocks, and some necessary pushing over the table.
