Hello everyone
Need suggestions and valuable advice before selecting the equipment.I am looking forward to carry on and develop my game as a modern defender much like Pros an Greats like Ruwen Filus , Gionis Panagiotis and the all time great and my favorite Joo se Hyuk. I would categorise myself as a low -intermediate player.I play at a local club and take part at times in some district level competitions.I mostly rely on forehand chops and if required chop the ball from backhand and very occasionally loop the ball.I am looking forward to take my game to the next level.
My current setup is - Blade - Butterfly Peter korbel FH - yasaka rakza 7 Bh- Butterfly rozena
I am looking forward to upgrade the setup to something having a defense oriented approach .Although I am not comfortable using pimples for chopping and looking for an inverted rubber option on both backhand and forehand. I have narrowed down my research to ths 3 setups .please share your valuable advice.Feel free to suggest a new setup. THANKS
POSSIBLE SETUP 1
BLADE - BUTTERFLY DIODE FH- YASAKA RAKZA 7 SOFT/YASAKA RAKZA 7 BH- BUTTERFLY TACKINESS CHOP 2
POSSIBLE SETUP 2
Blade- Butterfly diode Fh- Butterfly tenerogy 05 / tenergy 05 fx
Backhand- victas vs 401 or victas v15
Possible setup 3
BLADE- VICTAS KOJI MATSUSHITA DEF + FH - victas vs 401 or victas v15 BH - XIOM VEGA EURO
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST A NEW SETUP IF APPLICABLE

Have you tried using your current setup and change the play style?
Try using the rubbers on the other side too maybe you like it one way more than the other for the new play style.

If you are a low to Intermediate level player looking to develop a chopping game with inverted rubbers I would advise you to stay away from Tenergy. Chopping with Tenergy is very difficult due to its high spin sensitivity and trampoline effect.
Instead I would recommend a thin inverted chopping rubber like Victas 401 in 1.5mm or even possibly Sauer and Troger Secret Flow in 1.0mm or 1.5mm. Another alternative would be Spinlord Marder in 1.0mm, 1.2mm or 1.5mm
If you really want to play modern defense / chopping game then pimples is the way forward. A very easy to play long pimple for beginners is Sauer and Troger Easy P. Chopping with pimples is significantly easier then chopping with inverted due to lower spin sensitivity

Backhand long pips with sponge. Any of the FH choices is fine. Those blades would be fine as well.

Thank you all for sharing your valuable opinions and expertise. am actually looking forward to switch and start playing with long pimples now .Considering the popular long pips options available in India, what among these 3 rubbers would serve as a good initial learning curve for me 1.Tibhar grass D techs 2 Fient long 2 3Fient long 3
Also just want to know your opinion very specifically about, will any of these 3 above mentioned rubbers work well with my existing Butterfly Peter korbel blade.if so please specify thickness as well ..considering that I am about to start playing for the first time with long pips . For forehand I am considering something like Rakza 7 or well butterfly tackinss chop 2 or dhs hurricane 3/ Neo
Please advise
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
how is your current development? I might say that I've been in your shoes. Having to convert to long pimples needed a huge commitment from my side. I did finally order the butterfly tackiness chop (bh) but have not tried it yet. What helped me was that I tried using other players blades and tried out the feel of long pimples. At the end, I was reluctant to convert hence here I am trying to be a double inverted chopper like Satoshi Aida.
