Clipper is one of the popular 7-ply blades in the market since the early 80s. Its 5-ply ayous core and limba outer are a good combination which led to outstanding play performances during their day. Since then, Stiga came with variations in handle and surface, such as the WRB system, CR system, Oversized, Combi system, and Crystal Tech.

I have experience using this blade on the 38mm ball ages. It’s quite fast, suits for all-out attackers, and was used by many Chinese players with power loop and fast drive style. After 75 years, Clipper is still around in the market with new successors. Most of them still kept the 5-ply ayous core with a variety of outer plies.

Clipper CR with the lacquered surface increased the hardness, speed, sweet spot, and rubber peel-off friendliness. However, it doesn’t make significant changes from the regular version. During the 40+ ball era, it is rated as off from off+. Combined with the right rubber, I can still loop with monstrous spin from mid-distance. Generating fast drives, active, and passive blocks from close to the table are still dangerous, with the ball landing on the safe area.

I recommend this blade for intermediate players who are making their way to being full attackers but still need security.
