basically, there are better chances of finding a lighter OC than clipper. I believe you can ask the store for weight options in stock, and then select your blade. |

I searched the far reaches of the earth and found an Clipper OS at 83 grams. :-). Thank you all for the great advice. I think I found two blades worth trying . . . the Stiga Clipper Oversized at 83 grams and the Gambler Oversized at 80 grams. |

As the Gambler (Kevlar) Oversize is my blade of choice, I'd just like to say this is probably a good deal slower than you'd be comfortable with, and it is monstrous. I've gotten secondhand rubber from others with OV blades who assured me that the cuts were plenty big for mine, and as of now they've all been a very, very tight stretch; covering that much racket costs you quite a bit in terms of weight.
If this is the option you decide on, make sure you get the Gambler Carbon Oversize, as apparently it's slightly faster and stiffer (and of course, you could choose to sand down some of the hock-ness on that monstrosity to save on weight) and it might just suite your style. GOOD LUCK on your search  .- Jack - |

Jack,
I've ordered a Gambler Carbon Oversize. Is there much of a difference between the Kevlar and Carbon? Thanks. |

All of a sudden I'm in debt from buying Oversized blades, but I got a good deal on TWO Stiga Clipper WRBs that weigh in at 83 and 85 grams. I didn't expect the emails I sent all over the world to amout to anything, but the Japanese must have love for Tommy Zai. From what I've heard . . . I lucked out!!! :-). I better hide them from g/f.

My blades are on the way, but I decided I will only keep one. The other I will sell on here. It seems I found a great deal on a great lightweight Clipper Oversize. I will pass this deal onto one of you if you like . . .
$55.00 including shipping to USA. That should cover the price+shipping+PayPal fee. |

I'll tell you this . . . most of the Oversized are almost the same, just a little bigger. I was expecting OVERSIZED to be HUGE . . . worried about all the extra weight from additional rubber coverage, but it's not so much!!!
I did hear there are a couple really big ones out there. |
