Stiga Clipper WRB

Good product.

IMPORTANT DETAIL: Tested with two Rozenas and two Bluefire M1s. Pros: - Good speed - Excellent control - Easy ball spin - Clear reasons for errors Cons: - Fragile surface that requires sidetape - Requires sanding before use (sharp edges can injure hands) NOTE: Head size is 158mm x 151mm, which may be rounder than preferred. A Viscaria is 157mm x 150mm. - Center of gravity is towards the head, which increases speed but may not be preferable - Weight can vary significantly (88g for my blade) - Stiga’s FL (Master) handle differs from Butterfly’s FL handle, being more curved in the middle for better forehand security but potentially complicating backhand transitions.

Slower than the Clipper CR, which has the see-through Stiga signature.

The blade is slightly faster than regular Clipper Wood. The balance is shifted towards the head. It feels nice. The blade is stiff yet has a soft touch.

My favorite all-wood, 7-ply looping blade still lives up to its reputation to this day. There are many clones, but nothing compares to the real one.

I bought five of these blades and am using all of them with different rubbers. Each setup performs better than my expectations.

Nice blade. Professional service.

Great blade for consistent attacking play. It’s solid but not too heavy. The blade 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 is a great backup racquet since it always delivers.

Too fast for me, and I don’t like the balance of that blade.

Very fast shipping.

The product quality is great.

I will be back later.

I would highly recommend this blade for anyone transitioning from a beginner to an intermediate player.

While the blade is on the heavier side, it offers great feel and control. The weight distribution noticeably improved my ability to switch between forehand and backhand faster than the mediocre pre-built racket I was using before.

I bought this for a friend, but I have one too, and it’s in my top 5. This is the best version of the Clipper, and it is very fast, faster than the Rosewood V, for example.

It is great for mid-distance duels or finishing off a point in front of the table. I think it works best with medium+ or hard rubbers.

Speed: 9.3/10
Feeling: 8.8/10
Overall: 9.6/10

Good as always. Recent ones have a slightly smaller and smoother handle, though I’m not sure why.

However, it doesn’t bother me much. It only takes a few minutes to get accustomed to it.

Good blade. It is very light (mine is approximately 80 grams). You’ll need fast and powerful rubbers to bring out the “kick effect”.

The sound of each strike is firm and crisp. There is more control over the direction. Overall, it’s the best wood blade I’ve used so far.

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. I appreciate its well-balanced nature when I drive, spin, and smash.

Coming back to a wooden racket, the Clipper exceeds my expectations. It’s a nice blade.

WOW!!!

I bought this blade yesterday and paired it with T05 (forehand) and Dornenglanz (backhand). Everything seems to hit the table exceptionally well. Blocks, loops, smashes, and all other aspects are well above expectations. On top of that, the blade is simply excellent for my long pips.

Yesterday’s session lasted 1.5 hours, and I played against higher-ranked players. The warm-up was sensational. I won three games: 3-0, 3-0, and 2-3, all against higher-ranked players. My playing style remained the same, but this blade provided me with increased control, resulting in many extra points.

I have been playing four to five times a week for the past year and experimented with various 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 blades come close to the Clipper WRB.

If you are a long pips player, I highly recommend trying the mentioned combination. Swedish star Gustaf Ericsson has a similar setup, using Clipper CC instead of WRB. Do a quick search on YouTube to witness the wonders of Clipper paired with T05 and Dornenglanz.

One of the best blades out there. It provides great control and boasts a large sweet spot. I use Rakza 47 on the forehand and Maxxx-P on the backhand. I love it!

Probably the most cost-effective classic blade out there. It’s a classic wooden ply blade with great feel.

I loved it so much that I’m buying another in Chinese penhold style to see how it works with LGL’s Clippa pips.

Perfect weight! My friend is happy with it.

Excellent.

This blade is good. I felt that it had good spin and speed, but less speed compared to the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro.

Best blade I have used so far. Good control, not too fast, and not too heavy.

This blade is one of the fastest I’ve played with. You don’t need to force your hits; the blade has plenty of power. However, you need to control your hits most of the time. Driving and looping with this blade are amazing and effortless. With a bit of training, the short game also comes in handy.

Overall, this is a very good blade if you’re looking for something fast and steady.

A few grams lighter than the Clipper Classic due to WRB, this blade requires medium to light weight rubbers, or it will be head heavy. Like most blades from Stiga, it needed sanding and sealing, with a rough feeling handle and wings. I feel the Classic Clipper has better balance than this version.

This fast, thick blade hits with authority and loops well at all distances. It has very fast speed with decent control. As with the Clipper line, these blades block very well. Stiga has nice feeling handles, not too wimpy like some others.

I’ve been using this blade for about two years now. It’s an offensive blade without sacrificing much control.

Normally, I need to adjust when buying a new blade, but that wasn’t necessary this time. From the very first strike, I knew this blade suited my style of play.

It comes at a relatively cheap price as well.

Mine is a bit too heavy for me, and my elbow hurts after some time of playing with it. It has a weight of 98g. Professional young players must be enjoying playing with it. Speed is definitely in the off+ category, so I cannot handle this speed demon, but that is only my shortcoming. I am fond of the feeling transferred into my palm, and it means touch play is also great. Next time, I am supposed to get and try a lighter version of it. In conclusion, I am not surprised it has become a legendary blade, but again, I advise that you should get a lighter one if you have the chance to do so.

No weak point for aggressive players who prefer all wood blades. Medium sponge rubber (e.g., Rasant, Shark II) on the forehand and medium pips out on the backhand (Friendship Legend, Pluto…) is a winning combination with this blade.

The Stiga is an excellent blade, and at a very affordable price. This blade excels in looping, with extremely fast loop kills and exceptional feel. Its straight handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.

For optimal performance, I recommend pairing the Stiga blade with the Calibral LT on the backhand and the Donic Bluefire M2 on the forehand. This combination offers the ideal balance of spin and speed. It also allows for precise ball placement anywhere on the table.

Overall, I highly recommend this blade for loopers who prioritize a balanced combination of spin, speed, and feel.

The blade is versatile, and the arc when looping is high. Hitting is consistent and “sharp”. In terms of versatility, it is possibly the all-wood version of the TBS.

Although WRB’ed, the weight of the blade is still well-balanced, but it typically runs at 96 or so grams.
