Hi Judah,

Blades last a very long time.  I would only change if you feel that it has become too slow for your game or you think that you have chosen a blade that is too fast. 

A sign that it is too slow is that you are playing your shots correctly but you are not able to penetrate the other players defence.  A sign that it is too slow is that you can not push short or control serves back onto the table and short.
