Hi Mashhood,

If you are playing defensively, you will need a slower blade that will give you more control. The same applies for rubber. Not too fast but one that will allow you to generate spin.

I wonder if there is a rubber and blade that you are looking at?

Perhaps some of our readers have an idea for you.

Here are some good defensive rubbers:

1. Stiga Chop and Drive

2. Butterfly tackiness chop (one and two)

3. Gambler Reflectoid

4. Stiga Neos tacky is good too

As for blades I would recommend an ALL, ALL-, Or DEF+ so you don't have too slow of a bat
