OOAK Table Tennis Forum

I wanted to buy a new setup for modern defense stile and I am quite dubious wich blade and rubbers should i get, reading and watching some reviews on the internet I kind of had choosen this materials:
- Tibhar stratus power defence
- TSP curl P1-R 1.0mm
- Xiom Vega Def 2.0mm
I choose them regarding only online reviews, don't have that many choppers where i live and i can't realy play with them right now, so I ask for some advice for better or more suitable materials.
I already have played defensive for a time and know quite well chopping so this isn't my first racket and sorry if my english is not that good because I am from Brazil.
Thanks, Arthur

Looks nice to me, I've used the power defense for a while, it's a tad on the slow side but that's probably good for learning solid defensive basics. I haven't used that forehand rubber, do you attack/loop or 3rd ball much, or mostly fish and chop? P1-r is always solid but takes a long time to get the hang of. I've been recommending stiga vertical 20 now as a solid alternative, I find it a bit easier to control and can send very spiny chops.

I used the Power Defense very successfully for several seasons and it is still my number 2 blade.
The rubbers you have chosen sound good to me.
I do play at the table having said that.

I prefer choping and looping far from the table, getting more agressive just if needed
