Okay, discontinued, so it is not funny for players who want to try something similar to Revoldia but won’t pay the same amount of money. First, this is an OFF blade, and second, this is a semi-composite-all wood blade. Ionescu used it a lot of time, but maybe it was too slow for him.

It plays similar to Revoldia, feeling all wood, but you can hear the composite vibes in passive strokes and the low gear is slow. It will add you more feeling. What makes this blade a 1-1 copy of Revoldia? When you block with Revoldia, and you use passive motion just put your racket without any energy, the ball slipped down; the same situation is here. You must use energy to put the ball on the table. You can find a review of the FZD CNF blade when the guy says the same words in his review.

The control of Clipper CC is nice, and I had the same situation with Revoldia. Vertical shots to the table are 10/10. When the ball comes to you on the front with CNF, CC, you can put 100% energy, and the ball will go with the biggest strength and curve without any chance to your opponent. When the ball comes to you on the side, you can’t be lazy. Revoldia and CNF are not the blades who like lazy players.

The difference between both: Clipper CC is a high throw, medium-hard blade, that’s why you need to put slower, softer, low throw rubbers (right now, there are a lot of grippy, semi-tacky, fast and very hard, high throw rubbers) which makes it harder to match new rubbers to CC than CNF. CNF is a semi-low throw, soft blade, that’s why it is more friendly for new rubbers with sticky topsheet. Both play the best with Tenergy 05/Tenergy 64. CC is thicker, but it won’t affect your banana flick. The handle of Stiga is better than the 24mm of Revoldia. I played with only Revoldia and CC, and both had the same rubbers.

For me, CC is more woody, more curvy, and that is funny, more spinny. Revoldia is more direct, pure, less spinny, and more expensive, but both have the same cons and pros. For me, Stiga is better, but Revoldia is unique too.

An outstanding upgrade of the classic Clipper, arguably one of the most sold blades of all time.

Used a boosted Hurricane 3 Neo Provincial blue sponge 39/2.15mm. Everything on this blade was the same or slightly better than the Viscaria I had, with more dwell time than the Viscaria. A simple bounce test against a Butterfly ZLC + T05 showed that my combo had better bounce. Amazing paddle.

I used this blade with Tenergy 80 Fx at FH and Airoc Astro S at BH side. For me, this blade is quite fast and provides good control for blocking, pushing, and slow touch. However, the handle is slightly larger for my grip and it is a bit heavy, weighing 92 gr netto.

On the other hand, the blade finishing is not as refined as Butterfly or other brands. It appears rough and unfinished.

I play with Tenergy 05 on the forehand and Butterfly Challenger Attack on the backhand. It’s an excellent combination for both rubbers. Everything is perfect: attack, forehand topspin, smashing, drives. However, what I want to emphasize is that blocking with the Clipper CC is effortless and natural.

The blade is not particularly fast. I would say it’s intelligent, not just speedy. Of course, you may need some time to adjust to it, to understand how it reacts in specific situations. It is quite expensive, but I don’t regret this purchase for a moment.

I am currently using this blade with a Stiga Neos Synergy Tech on the forehand and an Innova Ultralight (also by Stiga) on the backhand.

This blade is remarkable, delivering exceptional performance in various playing styles. It excels in generating powerful topspins and blocking shots. Additionally, it provides precise control for push techniques.

The blade offers notable adaptability for short and mid-distance play. When paired with Tenergy 05 FH and Calibra LT Spin BH rubbers, it becomes a formidable weapon.

Good flex for an OFF+ blade at only £75. Identical to Innerforce ZLC.
