OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Hello together,

I am new to this forum so hi everyone! Been reading here for a while but I feel like participating now

I am in the situation that I want to make a spare paddel with a new blade which might be the Spinlord Defender.

I am playing the sword 309 now which I like despite of the low wings (which I am gonna shorten though).

Can anyone tell me if these 2 are somewhat similar in terms of feel? I know that the plie difference is huge ( Defender 5 VS 309 9 plies) but ttdd.de suggests that they might be.

Has anyone tested the two and can give me advise on this?

Greetings from Germany!

Hi Patrick,

I'm also interesting to know about the comparison of these Two Defensive Blades. I already have bought a Sword 309 but still not yet really sets up to any rubbers, only testing it by pasting a used Donic Copa Jo rubber and for trying to get the forehand chop and spin feeling. It was really nice and the control was good too, as I can top spin with decent speed but besides that I could Forehand Chop really well too and the control feels good. I want to put for more decent control for forehand chop and also can block and counter spin by using a more slow rubber like Stiga Chop & Drive in 1.8mm which I have bought last time. So what do you think about both these two Defensive Blades, are Both Blades you have tried or anyone else on this Forums too ? What is your sets up for the blades (what rubbers being used)? And how does the game playing feels using your settings ?

I'm also interested on Spinlord Defender 2, has anyone tried ? Looking at you tube videos , that both these blades performs quite good and versatile for allround and modern defense.

I own a spinlord defender 2 blade and used to use it with marder 2 rubbers on both sides. It was fine for me for one season, but after that I discovered that my strengths lie more in the attacking domain. Haven't used it since. From what i remember the speed of the defender is average (all/all-) and it pairs well with different kinds of rubbers (Chinese and European). I don't have any experience with the sword 309 blade.
