Defensive Blade wanted

Used is fine if in good condition.  Not worried about stains, but don't want any damage that might affect its ability to play well.

will you be interested in a "Like New"/ Used for 15 mins Def II ST blade for $60 shipped?

Ended up ordering a Nittaku Monophonic

I tried one last night.  I found out that someone I knew plays with one, and although his was setup too weird for me to try, he knew someone else that had one for defense against pips training for that person's coach to use.  Anyway, he was nioce enough to let me try it.  He had pips on one side with sponge and inverted on the other.  It was heavy and like swinging a shovel at the ball, LOL, but it was very smooth.  My setup will be considerably lighter because I have 0x rubber on BH and a light inverted (Nittaku Narucross) with thin sponge on FH..  Given that, if its still heavy I'll consider lightening it, if need be.  Another nice thing was that the head is a similar size to the blade I played with when I was a kid.  That extra 1/2 or 5/8" on the side and 3/16" on the length will every once in a while enable me to stretch to a ball I'd otherwise have missed, and get my shots a bit more surface to cause spin, I'm thinking.  Anyway, even heavy, it had a good feel when I chopped.  I've been practicing BH chopping for the past month or two, and started practicing FH chopping a week ago.  That was when I found out that my FH rubber was lousy for chopping.  It wasn't that it couldn't do it, but it took a perfect chop to get it even reasonably low flying,  and that in turn woke me up to the fact that my FH chop was the weapon missing from my game.
