Hello guys, I have some questions about Clipper wood.
For 3 months, I used a Clipper CR (with Tibhar EL-S both sides) and liked it a lot. It really made me work for my shots, and hence helped me to develop my strokes (especially forehand top spin). The blade was quite badly damaged at the end so I retired it.
Nittaku Adelie has been my blade since then. It is thinner, slower, and easy to use. However I am still missing the feeling I used to get with Clipper CR. Not sure if it is the what you call "Stiga feel" or is it just good control with speed.
I have been doing some readings about the different Clippers. While a lot of people still like the wood (original) version, many others seem to favour the CR version. Also seen a lot of comments about how the newly manufactured Clippers are no where as good as what they used to be.
Are Clippers still good?
How does Clipper wood (original) compare to the CR version? Is it worth while?
Without the the CR treatment, I imagine it to be softer and hence better control....?
Or should I just get another Clipper CR.
Really want to hear from people who have tried the different Clippers.
