4. FH Tensor Nittaku Fastarc G1 3. BH Tensor Yinhe Moon 12 mid soft/mid hard

Dtecs OX is very good and deceptive but very hard to play cuz its bouncy. Very hard to control. Start with 955 or 388d-1 you'll thank me later. If you can handle these you can always upgrade. But again none of the pips will let you push with lots of spin

Yinhe U2 is my favorite budget blade.

Let me state first: Long pips will not solve the problem of a bad backhand. Maybe they suit you better, but they play fundamentally different. If you want to do this, try it on a spare blade and leave your setup as is. There are very few LPs that can do a good push. None are as good as...

My vote goes to donic persson powerplay. Its stiffer and harder than your current blade and feels better than balsa. Also can be gotten pretty light. Same handle? As your current blade. 7ply blades in general pair well with short pips

Yinhe Moon 12 Blue Very controlled rubber, just super easy to play with. Lacks speed in the higher gears as trade off. Butterfly rozena is similar but more bouncy/ fast on lower gears. Higher throw. Both rubbers are really forgiving

Stiga Mantra pro H and/or M. Japanese Rubber, decent price, lower trow, not as bouncy as tenergy

You weigh them before you buy them

- Less glue - Leave small gap over the handle, when placing rubber - No edge band - Same blade but select lighter - same rubbers but select lighter

It's very different rubber. With hurricane it gets faster if you hit harder. Marder will bottom out if you hit hard and will behave unpredictable. If you're a beginner stay with rubbers with lots of reviews. If you want to save money, buy on aliexpress. IMO something like yinhe mercury fulfilles...

No Spinlord Marder is a rubber that can work, but is to slow even for most beginners. This is a rubber for a defensive style. Donic Acuda is a tensor rubber. If you want to save money look a the Vega series by Xiom.

I really enjoy the double fish dragon zlc blade. Very fast good feel because its thin.

You buy them from a trusted source, so they sre not fake. Else if its way to cheap, then its fake

I'd try different rubbers first... sanwei 75 already pretty fast. Stiga mantra pro are very good rubbers, I think they are better in all aspects than Gear Hyper. Maybe H hardness both sides

Also if you only play doubles it's hard to improve at a technical level. Find someone you can do drills with, then you will improve your bh

I recently bought a Double Fish MK2 from AliExpress. It's a Koto 7ply and ridiculously cheap for the quality. Paired with Volant Phoenix 1 and 2 rubbers you got a decent setup for about 30€. If you buy while black week maybe less

Tbh its hard to recommend something because I don't know how you play. Those seem like reasonable choices for rubbers, but they are totally different setups

Personally I never liked sticky Chinese rubbers on defensive blades, because they require alot of power on those slower blades. I think the not so bouncy tensors are a good place to start: Rakza 7, Fastarc g1, Loki Telson 100 if you want something chinese. Pips just pick something that's easy...

If your a beginner I see to reasonable paths. 1) Stick with the blades you own (VKM and defplay) and become a chopper; like andy said, it's very rough in the beginning because the style is not really effective at low levels. But if that's whats fun for you go for it. But don't get a carbon...

I don't want assume to much, but maybe it's just rubber that feel old? One year is nothing for a blade
