I've been using the clipper CR for a year now and yesterday my uncle got an allround classic carbon blade. I gave the classic a try and it feels weird.
My impressions. Firstly the blade feels too light overall but imagine i could get used to that, but the main reasons is the handle, compared to the clipper CR, the classic feels too thin, and feels like it's more suited to a smaller hand, such as a child or a womens hand, as opposed to mine (23 y.o male). Because of the handle being thin and also the shape of it, it also means changing from forehand to backhand i need to adjust my grip more than i would with my clipper CR. And naturally when i'm holding the classic it almost feels as if it'll fall out of my hand completely.
I don't know, maybe i'm just used to the blade with a thicker handle.
Does anyone else who use the allround classic have thoughts on this? How do you use this with a bigger hand?
I suppose the blade is very good by the popularity and ratings but i'm not sure why

Basically all blades wight from 70 to 120+ grams with most of them fitting into 80-90g range. Then one rubber can easily make 10-15g difference as well (sheet of super-light rubber can be 40g while super-heavy tensor can be 80g, when cut it's less but still can be 50% difference) final blade and rubber assembly typically fit into 160 and 200g range with mean around 180g. And even average player can easily notice differences bigger then 5-10g.
