Fast blade + slow rubbers vs Slow Blade + fast

I don't know of too many pros who chop with a fast blade. Gionis was using a custom oversized korbel? 

The Joo Se Hyuk seems to be pretty fast. Though mine weighed in at 103 grams, plus double inverted so it was over 203 grams when all glued up! 

I was chopping with the Liu Shiwen blade as well, somewhat effectively. I find the true "defensive" blades are a bit too slow for my "A" game style -- mainly that off attack, attack, attack! Until forced to defend. So I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to invest in some slower rubbers (tackiness chop 2, reflectoid, geospin, juic 999, tibhar super defense etc.) and slap them onto the offensive blades. 

And on the flipside... do defensive blades with tenergy etc. play offense that well? 

Any experiences to share? Know of any pros who use a fast blade to defend with? Or offensive players who use defensive equipment? 

I was thinking of trying to chop with something like a garaydia alc or innerforce layer alc, using thin defensive rubbers. My defensive blades are great for the chops and whatnot, but pretty mushy in the attacking department. I guess it depends on how often you plan to attack, the trade-off there. 

I had swapped to a slow, over-sized defensive blade with tenergy 05 fx's on both sides. The control was immediately noticeable in comparison to the garaydia blades I had been using! And I guess by control here, I mean the speed. The ball was slower in every shot, and had far less catapult when leaving the blade. That made my percentage of shots landed on the table increase instantly. 

The last club day that I tested it at, I won all of my matches, for what good that is worth! I've ordered some thin rubbers (tsp chop rubber in 1-1.3mm and some tibhar defense 1.3-1.5mm and a few others) to try out on the faster blades. I'd tested reflectoid 2.0 on some offensive blades like the liu shiwen and timo boll w7. It does seem to slow down the ball a bit, but for the w7, that stiff 7 ply feel is still present. You don't get the sense of dwell time that you do with the slower blades. Whether that is just mental or if it is having an effect on the actual spin, who knows! 

I hear contradicting statements on that point. Some people say the faster/thicker rubbers will put MORE spin on the ball, but are harder to control. While others say a thinner sponge will help put more spin on the ball because of the extra dwell time and ability to swing harder without overshooting the table. You've got guys like the belarus chopper EC who use the really thin rubbers and chop 24/7. Vs choppers like Joo who use faster blades and thicker sponges, as they attack with greater frequency and power. So far, I think the absolute most soul-sucking speed-zapping rubber I've used is the Spinlord Marder! That thing is like dropping the ball into a bucket of tar! 

At the top end level I can't see offensive blades being too good for chopping, hence why none of the pros use them. Yes, yes, the greek chopper uses a korbel or some such... but he is quite offensive! His ratio of attack/fish/lob to chop is probably about even or siding with the attacks. So it's understandable why he'd prefer that sort. At the club level, who knows! I was chopping with a garaydia t5000  the fastest blade in the butterfly line up.
