hey coach

 I am currently looking for a new blade and I was wondering what type of feel (soft/medium/hard) is the right feel for more control. I currently use a blade with a hard feel (butterfly firehand: speed- 9.4 control- 7.0) and i have trouble with blocking, and touchy shots. If i switch to a blade with a softer feel will blocking/touch shots become easier? what else do you reccomend for making those types of shots easier for me?

Hi Kyle,

I find that blades with a soft feel give me more feeling and control. 

The other thing to think about when blocking is to keep your hands relaxed.  This will give you better feeling as well.
