You have probably learned long time ago from everyone that it's good to play with one bat and not switching around. While that is true for beginners and players with lesser experience, if you have 8-10 years under your belt you can try using a very fast blade for practicing (with your usual rubbers) and use one slower (with the same rubbers) for game. You will immediately play better even if your slower blade is a PC (as along as you use a SC for practicing). You will have control and power because you have to train and work harder with a fast racket than a slower one. There is less room for mistake and you have to take the ball earlier. After all that hard work when you go down one gear in speed you will play a game with ease. Try it the next time.

Yes, that was a good tip from ejunkie.

I myself uses 3 - 4 blades currently (maybe the ejing in me) rather than 1 blade.
Furthermore these blades ranges from composites (carbon, titanium) and all wood (5-ply and 7 ply)
