looking for a th9 base that can attempt to hold off a th10 attack. or at least keep it to 2 stars. any advise would be grand! Thanks!
The general consensus on the forums is that TH9's are generally at the mercy of TH10's. What league are you in - perhaps a drop down might be helpful. Have you perused the Base Compilation sticks on Base Design 101? Where do you land with respect to the level of TH9 defense capacity (new-mid-late TH9)?
The other aspect is that many TH9 designs are based on being DE centric - protecting DE. As a result one or two stars may be regarded as the norm. One thing I have noticed as a TH9 is that if you go to your League list and school through the standings you will see very few bases that have high number of defences in a season.
If you are looking for something different in base design, rather than what is on this forum, go to any of the high win clans and peruse their base designs for inspiration. Check defensive wins on your league list and see if any TH9 base designs interest you.
Here are a few examples of TH9 Bases currently being used in Crystal 1/Masters/Champons:
(Please Note: these are not my base designs, I do not know whom the base designer is, nor do I offer any comment as to their effectiveness):

oooh i like that second one so much i took it :D
thanks, i was more interested in war match ups, i'm not worried about league, i've dropped to silver just for loot and it's hard work staying there when you defend against barch or gobs/giants lol i just seem to be getting slaughtered in war by rushed th10s with max troops. i'm just looking for a war base that may cost them 2 attacks or hold them to 2 stars is all. i tried "The Crow" as seen on this forum and it seemed to work against everyone who didn't know how to attack it. now that is seems everyone knows how to attack it i'm looking for something else and i'm not all that good at base design myself.
our TH9's would tear that base apart, no offense. Seen several like it and seen em all fall. GoHo with ease, aq easy to get with kill squad, cc easily lurable, no real DGB, nice compact defense, springs not spread out. Easy GoHo on either one of them.
which base?
both of them would get pounded. Any decent war clan that knows how to GoHo will destroy them, both of them, not to mention they are internet bases and placements easily found with google search.
noted. again i'm just looking for ideas, i'm terrible at base design. most of the clans we war against are not "elite" nor do i consider my clan "elite" i typically get hit by gowiX variants. the overlying issue is that i have to defend against some max TH10 troops and i just wanna make it as difficult as possible, that is all.
hard to trip DGB's, difficult to lure AQ (central AQ), central CC. They are gonna get your TH, just chalk that one up. Make the pathing of the base so Hogs won't split past your DGB's, tesla farms are good. Make them guess where possible trap locations are, gaps in center area of base to make them ring around or path how you want, so they don't take a short cut. staggered spring traps, not stacked. Unorthodox non-symmetrical bases work really well at TH9 against other TH9's. If a TH10 doesn't 3 star you, that is on him, he is just horrible at attacking....and probably uses GoWiPe, really, who still uses GoWiPe and thinks its a 3 star strategy? OneHive has a lot of good TH9 bases along with all the other top war clans, check them out. A few well known clans you can get ideas from and they have websites or channels showing their past war bases.

Acknowledged - as I said I do not vouch for the effectiveness of these bases. Certainly the skill level of the attacking player and the attacking troop composition are factors in any design. I just had a skilled TH9 100% my base while over 95% of attacks are one/two stars at most. I do not doubt your capacity to GoHo this base.
The concept of base design is to mitigate attacks against the larger general populace of players - what you have mentioned about the ability to "pound" these bases with GoHo could be said for a vast majority of TH9 bases out there. And yes, once bases are published they have a shelf life and shorter time horizon - and yes if you do the proper research many can be found on the internet.
Frankly, where I play in Crystal 1/Masters 1 I do not thankfully see a lot of GoHo attacks - and that is the key. Don't take a farm base to the higher leagues; and understand the type of attacks you will face, then select a base around that.
Sorry my friend but these type of comments, which seem to pop up all over the forums when bases are discussed (e.g. "I could ---- with ---- troops), are not particularly instructive and are truly unproductive. What you may/may not be able to do to this base does not necessarily hold true for the larger population of players. Top clan replays demonstrate that the truly skilled can destroy most bases - we are lucky that those that fall into this category of player represent a small portion of the whole - otherwise this game would be played by the skilled only.
