Stiga Clippers: Which Model is Best?

I like the Stiga Clipper Oversize WRB and I am considering buying or trading for one of the following and would appreciate your help. Please keep in mind I am not a looper. I block, push hard, and smash.

Do you like it?

Why/Why not?

Which one is the best version of the Clipper?

Why?

Clipper Classic
Clipper CR WRB
Clipper WRB

All this time I thought you were a looper , I think the best clipper is the classic clipper. The non wrb non CR clipper wood

I like the lighter blades . . . nothing over 85 or 86gms

dont forget that you will destroy the balance of the blade. The oversize version is ~0.5 mm thicker and the blade size is around 16.4 * 15.4 cm. Go to your local dealer and ask for a 86g version. Mine was 100g so its difficult to find a very light one. I played the Clipper Oversize, Clipper WRB and Clipper. Best control and most heaviest was the Oversize. Clipper WRB was a bit strange. Maybe i got a very thin blade (6mm thick and 80g!). Normaly its around 6.5 mm. He was slow like a off- blade but thx to WRB handle and heavy bryce rubbers it felt like a 100+ g blade. My Clipper favourite is the classic version. Not too headheavy, 88-92g, overall best balance. If you want a light powerful blade try out Gergely. My Gergely is only 88g and i found many 86g versions too. But the handle sucks, its too slim.

i liked the non wrb version it didnt feel to heavy. it had very good balance. but was too fast for me i had no control. i have  not tried any other version.

All things aside, I hate WRB, so Clipper Classic ftw.

It's probably two things:

1) I went from basement kmart paddle playing to where I am now with non-wrb... it plain feels weird. Supposedly it makes looping easier, but I see little difference.

2) I play defense. Almost exclusively at times... and I've heard (and definitely think) that blocks and chops feel more solid with a regular handle. Also, some players go that route to save weight -- but I use thin inverted fh, with thin sponged / OX lp on the other, so that's not doing me any favors.

It's all about how it feels to you, and from what I've heard I'd love the OS clipper WRB for a blocking / hitting game with some loops thrown in from a distance, but that's just not my style. For your style, however... it seems like a solid fit.. OS certainly helps with close to the table defending, which is what I'd consider your style from what you've said.

Good luck on that quest for the perfect blade! I just got a Gambler A/C with some Quattro from Cole, and I'm thinking I might be one step closer...

You're still on subject. I was comparing the Offensive to the Clipper in a past post . . . went with the Clipper because it's faster.

OFF- I'd imagine, with the Clipper being a solid OFF. Would you concur tommy ?

Do you know what kind of blade the offensive CR and clipper are? Soft,Medium,Hard?

offensive CR is what i'd call medium (for wood) with clipper -- original, that is -- being medium hard. I have such limited experience with carbon that I'm sure on the grand scale it's very average hardness, but it was stiff enough to limit my topspin on loops, certainly.

yech, tommy, my fiancee purloined my Gambler A/C, gonna have to change my sig . Oh well, double inverted on that thing was gonna rip my arm off anyhow. Back to the ole Donic Enforce.. but with Tackchop 1 in 1.9mm / Saviga V OX this time... quite a nice feel.
