Okay, profesisonals such as Kristian Karlsson and Samsonov (Force Pro which is similar to Clipper) as well as many young chinese players like the feel of Clipper. Is there a reason as to why? To me it seems like an ordinary 7-ply all wood blade, but hopefully someone is willing to shed light on this.

I thought Samsonov was still using his old Mazunov all wood blades, camouflated under Tibhar handles.....for many many years.

Why? Because it is the best 7-ply blade ever made. Is that enough?

Clipper has great feel(though a little muted, compared to BT777, yasaka maxwood), it is stiff enough to block well, as fast as any of the butterfly ALC blades. Whats there to not like about it?

I wonder if Stiga renumerated handsomely the person who created the Clipper for them ?

Remunerated* Doubt it, I suspect it was designed by a production team at the time?

"Champ" handle of Stiga is equivalent to conic handle.

Among all manufacturers and 99% of all ST handles...Clipper ST is the best.

He used to use his old Mazunov for many years but wbg ruined it so he was forced to replace it with an other blade.

Best blade I have is the clipper.
Hard to explain. But it just seems to do everything. It's great for SPs. Can also play inverted really well. But the speed is good, balance feels great. For some bizzare reason the most comfortable grip cpen I have. Feel like it does everything well.

Unfortunately , Clippers of the PROs are very different than ours.
Infinity is the new Clipper for us!

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

There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

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. |

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 |

From http://stigatabletennis.com/en/tech-specs/blade-tech-specs/
"THE CR SYSTEM is when front part of the blade is UV-finished, which yields a reasonably increased speed to the ball." WRB - hollow handle, makes the blade more head heavy. |

I have gone from the Adidas Hypertouch, Adidas Strike Carbon, Stiga CC, Stiga CR WRB and now a all wood Clipper Oversize WRB.
Stiga CC is the fastest and stiffest out all the clippers, but has the least control out of all the clippers. Stiga CR WRB is head heavy, has a bigger head than the Stiga Clipper CC and is good for most techniques. I didnt like it due to my personal preference of having stiffer crispier blades. Stiga Oversize WRB is heavy at 96 grams, head heavy, biggest head, the crispiest and very good control due to the large dwell spot/oversize head. The speed is a tad slower than the CC. But u wont like this blade if you cant handle head heavy and overall heavy blades. Takes a lot of muscle to get the most out of this blade. I would start off with the Stiga Clipper CR or a regular Stiga Clipper first, these are the least expensive and the most attainable.

I was playing with a Cipper from 1989 since 2000. The new Clipper looks and plays like a joke. Infinity on the other hand, it reminds me the old Stiga feeling. It is something between the old Offensive Wood and Clipper Wood of the 80's and 90's. Infinity is also the most popular Stiga blade although it appeared the last 2 years.
