Defensive racket, offensive play
Equipment
Diego Tesoro Asked 10 years ago
I was wondering if players can use offensive rubbers and play offensive when using a defensive blade?.....just wondering

Hi Diego,
Yes you can play offensively with a slower racket. I think it is actually a good way to get setup because the offensive rubbers will provide all the speed you need. The slower blade will give you the control you also need to keep your strokes consistent.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

but a defensive bat is larger and with the rubber the weight can be to heavy
That is a good point Martinand. That would be an issue. I guess I was more talking about the slower blades such as the All Round blades.

I am sorry...but large head does not mean heavier always
My bat has an enlargened head (15mm more on each side) and weighs 60g

DK, they meant assuming you used the same type of rubber as you already use.

Sorry if it seems a bit too late for this but the defensive blade that I have is a Joo Se Hyuk blade. Any opinions?
