Hey Dan, so in my opinion you are better off sticking with the blade you have as this is they key part to a bat set up as a whole and provides most of the “feel and touch” when playing. S I would stick with the same blade for sure and look at the rubbers. I think if you are struggling to generate power then definitely don’t go for hurricane as this requires a lot of work to get the speed out of it even though the spin is fantastic. Rasanater 50 max is not a slow rubber at all, but as it’s fairly hard it may be that going t something slightly softer some players find it easier to generate speed as it’s a bit more forgiving and slightly less direct.
I don’t think your counter hitting game and blocking will suffer unless you go for something too soft, I would suggest trying the Rasanter R47 you use on the backhand on the forehand side and see how that feels as the general feeling will be similar but of course it’s slightly softer. I would leave the backhand rubber as it is at the moment as you don’t seem to be having any specific problems there. Let me know if you hav any further questions on this or any follow up.
Thanks, Tom 🙂
