Time to upgrade my YE + MarkV

I currently have Yasaka Extra with Mark V 2.0 on both sides and playing two-side loops mainly. I am told my loops are very very spiny and my fh on-table chop(push?) is also spiny and my bh can also do good block and flick. Here are the my concerns that made me thinking about a new paddle.

1. for very heavy backspin, my fh loops sometimes hit the net while the ball is very very topspin-ing. maybe I need higher-throw

2. I've heard that YE and Mark V are for speed-glue era so that when you put them together, the speed suffers. Maybe there are other combos I can get same spin and control with higher speed. IMO, I turn my waist much when doing a fast loop, the speed seems okay.

3. The paddle is almost 2 years old. at least I need some new rubber.

For new rubber, I am thinking about donic baracuda max on fh and 2.0 on bh, only 2.0 to get more control. For the blade, I ordered Galaxy t-11 by mistake yesterday and knew it is not good for my style. If I were to buy a new blade, I will consider donic waldner senso ultra carbon.

So, 

1. Do each of my concerns make sense?

2. Shall I keep YE and put new baracuda (fh:max, bh:2.0) on?

3. Shall I change the blade also?

Thanks

Hi David,

I would just change the rubber.  The blade will give you good control and the increased speed rubber will give you more lift and speed.
