It's always worth an ask
If your maxed TH9 and you want to compete in the Masters or Champions leagues, either do the best with what you have or go TH10 that is the point of upgrading to TH10. Plus no way should a defense item be based on your trophy count, nothing personal just not a sound idea.
I realize it's a bit off-topic, but I would like to point out that th 9s can indeed defend in masters. My last trophy push was a while ago, but I did move from 2600 up to 2740 almost solely off defenses (at th 9). If you would like to do that, I recommend not having many resources (which will lead many people to hit next) and having a base that can beat either balloonian or hogs (or both if you can), since those are (or were) the most popular attacks around that trophy level.
