Stiga Clipper CR (WRB)

Top 5 blades, together with a Nittaku, another Stiga, a TSP, and another Nittaku. Its a classic, that has been updated from Clipper, and it is actually really fast, but with good feeling.

I am lucky :) My is 87 g. And for me control is more than 8.3. It's realy easy to play in the point :). Lot of power when U need.

I've been playing with this blade for 3 years. Setup is yasaka rakza 7 on fh, and xiom rubber on BH. Definitely a good setup , but I do agree tge control is a bit lower than the speed rating, like a notch. Really good blade to practice ur offensive game, fast but ull struggle a bit on fast rallues to put the ball in, but once they hit the table the opponent will struggle to take it. And yes after sometime it will teach u better placement of ball, in crazy speed rallies, definitely a good blade to start up it table tennis career. And I can progress to other better controlled blade after.. Not a big deal if I wish to stay with this blade but I will find that with a better control blade I will be sighing a big relief as the well spent time mustering this blade will improve ur games with better blade by leaps and bounds

This is a review for the non-WRB version I had been using a clipper clone for awhile, and couldn't resist when i saw this on offer on tabletennis11.com. Got a full setup with DHS Neo TG2 on both sides for SGD$99 (a WRB version with TG2 on both sides would cost about SGD$155). Weight wise, this is incredibly heavy. Definitely wouldn't suggest training with this after lifting weights. Balance is good however due to the heavier handle. It might be due to the new rubber, but my loops were all extremely spinny. A friend who was using short pips had problems blocking my loops, as compared to when i was using other setups. Speed was great with the bat as well, definitely faster than normal clippers. Overall, a great buy. Will be looking to try the wrb version if i can get my hands on one.

Combined with classic h3 and now neo h3 on the forehand and soft japanese rubber on the backhand. I like the feel of the blade with the chinese rubber. Fast, good feedback, great touch for the short-game (not so bouncy), flexible and not as hard as advertised. The power comes from the 7 plies as well as the WRB making your swings a little more powerful. Dwell time is good, low throw so I'd suggest using it with a high throw rubber. Having switched from different composite blades and 5 ply woods, I find the CR a great balance of both power, control, and feel. Highly recommended.
