Why do professionals like the Clipper blade?

I had one 25 years ago, but as I was young and foolish I ruined it by covering it in a thick layer of varnish. I eventually pulled a layer of wood off trying to remove it. My son switched to a new one about a month ago and really likes the extra power and looping ability. Not sure how the 2 blades compare though as I wasn't really good enough to know what I was playing with back then.

Thanks for sharing this info.

sorry, i can't agree with you. there aren't more professionals use the Clipper blade in china. otherwise i see more and more professionals change blade to mixed blade, like VIS, ZJK ALC or 狂飙龙5 that is made by DHS.

Thanks Ray :)

So a an offensive style power-looper would prefer clipper CR especially if they don't like hollow handles??? :P

I did, how else do you think I got the names of the different versions? :P I wanted to know the differences from a user as that would be more accurate than technical mumbo jumbo mentioned in the blade descriptions :P

Which Clipper are we talking about exactly in this thread??? There is a Clipper, Clipper CR WRB then a Clipper CR and lastly Clipper WRB. What's the difference between these anyways? Clipper is the base blade with 7 wood layers. Clipper CR have coating to make it a bit more stiff. Clipper CC have carbon powder in-between layers to make it even stiffer than the CR. WRB versions have the hollow handle to make the blade lighter.

Thanks for the info, which one of these plays the best?

The 7-ply structure is more reliable than 5-lpy all wood. Clipper is easier to control and more powerful than some composite blades.

Unfortunately , Clippers of the PROs are very different than ours.
