Donic or stiga

Donic ovtcharov carbospeed and stiga clipper cc. Which is better? Can I have more opinions or comments on these two blades

"It depends". Better… for what? The Ovtcharov Carbospeed is better for hammering in stainless steel nails, the Clipper CC is better for self-tapping screws. Also, the latter is more like Australian wine (very suitable for laying down and avoiding), the former is more of an amuse for a heavy meal. Alors, ça depend. Ça depend.

Which one is better in general? If you just look at the specs of those two bats

You are asking a question whether eating meat is good or being veg is good.[emoji848]

There is no "in general". Better is not an absolute, it's a relative. One might be better for flat hits, the other may offer more dwell time and thus grab the ball a bit longer when spinning — i.e. be better for spinning. One may be better in active play, another may be better when playing defensively.

Even worse, the "better"s in the above are not even absolute relatives, they're relative relatives. The blade with more dwell time may be better for you when playing a spin-based game, given your level, technique, abilities, feeling. It might be worse for somebody else, playing the same style, given the other's level, techniqe, abilities, feeling.

Your general is trounced fatally by an army of relative relatives, sorry.

I like the Clipper CC a lot by the way. It's a fast blade that I felt could do basically everything well, when playing actively. Passive play less so; it's very fast. I haven't ever layed my hands on the Ovtcharov Carbospeed, but people here and there are calling it "crazy fast" and its composition, with Hinoki outer layers, is tantalizing — but to me "crazy fast" sounds suspiciously much like an error on the wrong side of caution. Hitting winners is fun, losing games due to high percentages of avoidable misses less so. There's a balance there.
