Hey Trance, I am not a chopper or have had no experience with chopping, but If it was me i was personally check out what Chen and joo See Hyuk use becuase they have obviouslly experimented with everything and have decided on what works best for them. Ok yeah its for them, but Im sure you would use it well. Hence, why everyone is using the TImo Boll blades, becuase we all want to be like Timo Boll
P.s, i hope theres some chopper/forehand attackers on here who can help you out.
You could also try out the CHEN WEIXING DEFENDER. I think you play like him because he loves to chop with his backhand but if he has a chance to block or counter with his forehand he'll attack. I'm not really a chopper, but you should watch him play. he's a interesting player.

You will be happy with a fast rubber on forehand, and tacky rubber on backhand, as far as blade ? lighter the better !
I started playing with the same style as you do, but with those recreation paddles from Sports Authority, which is not tacky at all and heavy to loop with; there are speed differentials between rubbers, so you will need good foot work. Carbon blade or similar composite blade will keep it light, give you most of the mobility advantage. The lightest blade I know exist is Hunter Flame, less than 60 grams. Most of the blades out there are 80~90 grams. Try some of them out and get the feeling of it before you make any rushed decision.

i agree with the light blade part, but im not so sure about carbon as itll be too fast for a defender.
