Equipment
Alois,
I am a modern defender. What do you advise for me to use a combo blade or all round blade? My rubbers are long pips ox and smooth 1.5mm.
Thanking you in advance,
Rodrigo
Hi Rodrigo,
I would go for an all round blade and use a faster rubber on the forehand if you want to attack more with the forehand side.
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

Rodrigo,may I ask what exact rubbers do you have and if you have some exact blades you would consider?

Hi D K,
I'm using both Dr Neubauer Goliath Speed 1.5 mm and All Round Premium OX. My blade is also Dr Nuebauer Phenomenon (All).

Hmmm,this is quite..exotic bat for me :D
I would not choose 1.5 for modern defense but...who knows,I am not familiar with the rubber as Dr Neubauer is hardly accessible here.

Alois,
In your reply, you said I would use faster rubber. Can I ask you how fast?
What rubber are you currently using on the forehand?
Rodrigo Aromas Posted 7 years ago
Currently, I am using Mark V 1.5 mm.
You could go for a 2mm Mark V or something like Rakza 7 if you want something even faster. This depends on how much you want to attack.

I use Rakza7 as well and it performs well :)
