Stiga Clipper WRB

English- IMPORTANT DETAIL: Tested with two Rozenas. And at another time tested with two Bluefire M1. Pros: Good speed; Excellent control; Very easy to spin ball with it; You understand the reason for the errors; Cons: Surface is fragile, so the use of sidetape is mandatory; It is mandatory to sand before using, even if your grip does not require it, as it hurts your hand incredibly easily, its edges are sharp; NOTE: The size of your head is 158mm x 151mm, it looks like it is round, which can be a nuisance for many, including me. A vicaria is 157mm x 150mm; Center of gravity is directed towards the head, which increases speed, but I personally didn't like it either; Its weight can vary a lot, mine weighs 88g; The Stiga's FL(Master) handle is different from the butterfly's FL, it is much more curved in the middle, providing greater security when delivering explosive Forehand drives, but making the transition to backhand and vice versa a little more difficult. PT-BR-DETALHE IMPORTANTE: Testada com duas Rozenas. E em outro momento testada com duas Bluefire M1. Pros: Velocidade boa; Controle excelente; Muito fácil de girar bola com ela; Você entende o motivo dos erros; Contras: Superfície é frágil, então é obrigatório o uso de sidetape; Obrigatório lixar antes de usar, mesmo que sua empunhadura não exija, pois ela fere a mão com uma facilidade absurda, suas bordas são afiadas ; OBS: O tamanho da sua cabeça é 158mm x 151mm, parece que ela é redonda, o que pode ser um incômodo para muitos, inclusive para mim. Uma viscaria é 157mm x 150mm; Centro de gravidade é direcionado para a cabeça, o que aumenta a velocidade, mas particularmente eu também não gostei; Seu peso pode variar bastante, a minha pesa 88g; O cabo FL(Master) da Stiga é diferente do FL da butterfly, ele é bem mais curvado no meio, dá uma maior segurança na hora de dar drives explosivos de Forehand, mas dificulta um pouco a transição para backhand e vice-versa.

Slightly faster that regular Clipper Wood. Balance is moved towards head. Feeling is nice. Blade is stiff but with soft touch.

Great blade for consistent attacking play. Solid but not too heavy. Tends to accentuate the characteristics of the rubbers on them, and all rubbers seem to work well - attacking inverted, spinny inverted, short pips etcetera. The Stiga Clipper makes for a great backup racquet – it always delivers.

Nice blade to play for control game. I have started using it with Stiga Genesis M in forehand and Calibra LT Spin with a backhand that gives me awesome control and feeling. Appreciate its well-balanced nature when I drive, spin and smash.

WOW!!! Bought this blade yesterday and paired it with T05(FH) and Dornenglanz(BH). Everything seems to hit the table. Blocks, loops, smashes and all other aspects are well above expectations. On top of that the blade is simply excellent for long my long pips. Yesterdays session lasted 1,5hrs and I played against higher ranked players. Warm-up was sensational. Three games; 3-0, 3-0 and 2-3. All against higher ranked players. My playing-style the same, but this blade is loaded with control creating a lot of extra points for me. Have been playing 4-5 times a week for the last year and experimented with a lot of blades such as Stiga Carbonado 145, Donic Appelgren World Champ, Mizuno Valour, Donic Epox Power Carbon, Donic Defplay, Stiga Def Wood, Spinlord Ultra Carbon Def, Butterfly Petr Korbel and Stiga Celero Wood. None of these are even close to the Clipper WRB. If you are a long pips player I highly recommend trying the mentioned combination. Swedish star Gustaf Ericsson have allmost the same set-up, using Clipper CC instead of WRB. Make a quick search on Youtube and watch the wonders of Clipper paired with T05 and Dornenglanz.
