I played with the original Stiga Clipper Wood (modern version) and switched to the Yinhe PD 437. The 437 is about 2g heavier and has the same speed as the Clipper, or possibly a bit faster. The 437 is harder but still has a very soft feel. The 437 blade has the same 3 ply core thickness and slightly thicker 2 top plies. However, the Yinhe is a more sharp, dynamic, and spinnier blade. The 437 is truly better in the short game. The 437 is noticeably spinnier during chopping. As looping is not my strength, I will not comment on it.

All wood blade with nice quality. Limba outer plies and ayous inner plies give this blade a nice feeling. It is worth the cost.

The Stiga Clipper CL is similar to the Yinhe Purple Dragon blade in terms of quality. It is a 7-ply wood blade with a limba outer ply, followed by 5 layers of ayous, and another limba inner ply. If you prefer 7-ply wood blades, this is an excellent choice that will not disappoint.
