Didn't regret buying this blade. Had it for 2 weeks now. The control is mwa 👌, really love it especially during short and touch plays. Using it with hurricane 3 41° on my FH and hurricane 3 38° on my backhand.
I have used this for a long while when I switched from penhold to shakehand. It is a blade that require you to improve your stroke to get the power out of it. I have a Timo Boll ALC now but I still swich between them often, the all wood feeling is just great.
the Korbel is a looping blade whereas the Clipper is for smashers/short pips players.A nice blade but way too slow for the modern game.Speed glue ban + ball material changes rendered classic blades and rubbers obsolete.Even players with impeccable technique who could generate their own power like Waldner switched to soft Carbon blades.The Clipper still works for hitters though.
@@dickn.ormous1064 if you think the clipper is slow and only for hitters, you are not using it right. Good technique gives the clipper great power - probably not as much as carbon blades but easily one of the best in the wood blades. Then again you probably think you are as good as Waldner anyway.
just FYI Dan, this blade has been changed when the bigger ball came out. they went from 5.8mm thickness to around 6.8mm. the weight increased from around 90g to 95g average. makes sense as the blade's head size didn't change. cheers
@@TTDPocketRocket I just love the team spirit. Been out of action as had major spinal surgerty 18 months ago. Just ready for action but can’t because of Covid. You guys have certainly cheered up a club hacker!! Top stuff. You’re a truly nice block and a great bunch of lads. More😀😀😀😀
I've played clipper wood for many years and I have to say it has the greatest feeling on forehand, especially for the older version with better wood quality.
Now I'm using all wood blade but before Carbon. I think wood is more fun to me because of more feeling and spin. What about an Alvaro Robles blade review?
I was using a clipper since when I was college.. then I shipped to viscaria and change to stiga 7.6 carbo.. I think this legacy stiga is really beautiful I hope to have that soon...
@@TableTennisDaily it's great to have a motivating reason to improve. I've got a table at my house and a cheap robot. But I've really struggled to find any motivation, just because I have no idea when I'll get to play a human again.
I wish they still made the Avalox P500. I started playing table tennis 1 year ago with Stiga Offensive Classic and I need just that tiny bit more stability and strength in my shot.
TTD should have a special chapter... " A vintage session"...using or testing old classics like sriver, mark v, old tamca 5000, 38mm balls, speed glue,etc. Just like being 30 years ago. 😈🤘 You can also wear those old shorts 😂😂😂
You could also add on the table colomn for counter top spin, since it is super important and used shot in today s table tennis on the table early taking the ball
2:40 Here Dan had to perform the final Person-style backhand shot. It would look great. ;) But he didn't. Decided not to risk, but in vain. 3:52 - Lovely shot. I would also like to master this. Looks very impressive in the game. By the way, what is it called? Sidespin chop-block? I like to play with 7-ply wood-only blades (used to play with STIGA Clipperwood, Korbel SK7) and now I play with Butterfly Hadraw SR blade, which is 7-ply wooden blade with outer wenge layers. IMHO this type of blades goes well with chinese rubbers like Hurricane or Skyline (I personally play with Hurricane 3 on my forehand side). I do confirm that this type of blades is very good for blocking. ClipperWood-like blades are basically not so fast (conparing to modern OFF carbon blades). And it's also very good because fast blades are absolute evil for amateurs. :)
Didn't Peter Karlsson also use the Stiga Clipper WRB, at least thats what the advertisement for it used to include in the information. I would like to see how the Clipper CC (Carbon Powder inbetween each of the 7 slices of wood) stacks up to newer carbon blades. The speed rating seems to be up there compared to newer carbon designs. Great Review as usual thx mate.
Yinhe PD437 is faster, spinier and harder. And it is much harder to control 437. Sanwei Fextra is very close to Clipper Wood except infamous red inner plies.
Stiga Clipper Wood definitivamente es la mejor cuchilla que un joven jugador puede elegir en sus inicios para llegar a lo más alto. Clipper se adapta perfectamente a las gomas MXP, yo diría que se adapta mejor que a Tenergy. Clipper tiene un mayor arco que las cuchillas de carbón. Tenergy O5 Hard puede ser un buen ensamble para FH y BH. El jugador establecerá todas las bases reales del TT.
What are the rubbers you've used in this test? Nice to see you boys back in action! Btw would love for you to test Xiom Hugo HAL/SAL blades, and to compare it with Btf Revoldia, since it is the same concept oh hybrid blades! Cheers!
Other Table Tennis Channel: Let's Review the newest TT Blade with new carbon material. Dan: This blade has been around for 40 years and sold more than 2 million, its a good time to review it. not hating, instead loving the fact that you're not neglecting the good old blades that are still viable in today's game. for people who has been into tt for a long time, it might be a waste of time, but for new enthusiast this is very helpful.
@@pandabearbusiness4440 Isn't yasaka mark V an old rubber now? I love its capabilities but people keep advising me to look for a "new age" rubber instead such as Rakza, Donic or Vega.
It is an older rubber true. Last week I used my friends' racket: drinkhall offensive blade with both yasaka forehand and backhand. Control was great too.
Yes, and Jörg Rosskopf with his absolute killer backhand made it popular. Well, I guess if we could go back to 38 or at least 39 mm and celluloid, the clipper would be viable again.
@@nulldemokratiezwei7773 this blade is perfectly viable as it is. Karlson use the Sk7 which is a clipper from Butterfly. many other players are using it or a variant of it.
Amazing review, Dan! Great improvement on your backhand. It has become Electric! Wanted to know if the feel of this blade is similar to that of a Hinoki blade? Also, would love to see you review a few famous Hinoki blades. Love from India :3
You forgot to mention Peter Karlsson,including Jurgen Persson and a former team mate from Saive from Russia.You are right to mention control but you forgot to mention SPIN AND FEELING that's Stiga identity.
According to your chart TB ALC is two points higher on both speed and spin against Clipper. I think it is countrary to the principal that these two indicators are on different poles, aka speed up, spin down.
Speed and spin are not mutually exclusive. I tried several 7-ply OFF wood blades with better speed and spin then Clipper, but they do not play better for me.
I tried Black Edition as Clipper Wood substitute but it does not play similar. Black Edition is faster, spinnier (and spin-sensitive), but less powerful then Clipper. Clipper is better at block, at middle distance counter and away from the table. Samsonov BE is only better for aggressive play close to the table.
Скажите, какая разница между clipper 40 и clipper wood? Слои вроде одинаковые... Просто новый металлический значок на рукоятке? Или же что-то в слоях изменили(толщину или еще что добавили)? И второй вопрос чем играет второй игрок ? Третий вопрос: какие накладки наклеены на тестируемом основании?.
ohh... i need to know what rubber is used for these review of blades. It means a lot, what rubber is used on the blades :) Tenergy 05 is excellent on this blade, and give the same feeling like ALC but more control. Same crispy sound, spin and power.
The insignia look nice, true, but I find them very irritating when playing. Sometimes your finger touches the metal plate, sometimes it doesnt... drives me crazy. Thats why I finally decided to put tape over the metal plate... :-/
Do you think this blade together with the Dignics 05 on both sides would be a good combination for improving technique and learning to play with more spin/wrist?
I have been playing a couple years now and using the xiom Icecream azxi. I was thinking of switching back to all wood to work on technique. What do you think of clipper vs. azxi? For an beginner/intermediate player?

According to your chart TB ALC is two points higher on both speed and spin against Clipper. I think it is countrary to the principal that these two indicators are on different poles, aka speed up, spin down.
Speed and spin are not mutually exclusive. I tried several 7-ply OFF wood blades with better speed and spin then Clipper, but they do not play better for me.
