Stiga CL CR available outside Asia only?

 

Is there any reason why it isn't outside Asia? Has anyone seen it?

 

I am talking about Stiga Clipper wood CR not CR+WRB

 

funny you say that. you and I always go down the same equpitment road.

 

I just switched to Clipper CR WRB... even though I just broke it so im going to get non wrb.

 

but the power is easier to access i can say. It's got a more solid feel, and It's faster. But If you are a hard hitter, the HK is still full of power. I have to play the HK for a couple more weeks until i can get another clipper, so I can give you a better comparison in feel speed power etc after one more week.

 

 

lol

 

The feel is more solid. It doesn't have that amazing feel you get with blades like the HK and the Acoustic and stuff... its hard to describe- its like a soft solid feel. Its not a soft blade though. It has a medium/hard feel to it. But under the HK its the best feel I've encountered. I like the feel a lot. Which automatically means you would like it too, asaomi.  

 

dwell is sufficient. I loop just as well as I did with the HK. Although the HK has that 'whiplash', and it's more flexible. So less dwell than the HK... but not enough to make the blade loop differently. To be honest, i had a very easy time adjusting from the HK to this blade. Its faster when less force is used, so other than adjusting to the initial speed, it was just as easy as before.

 

It has less of a control factor than the HK, but as a player if you have good touch then this isn't an issue. It just doesn't give like the HK does. The HK is easier to use, it's a better looping blade and more flexible. If i played inverted both sides, I would not switch to clipper (personally). The HK is just too nice a feel. And at the top swing speed, you unleash the power in the HK that you don't notice is there. Even though it's not as fast as the clipper, all around its a better blade. But at the same time, the clipper is very nice for a 7ply when it comes to looping. And thats me using a 41 hardness BW2- I'm the only person I know of who uses a BW2 that hard. So I'm losing out on dwell already.

 

so if youre looking for more direct power, harder feel, less flex, more solid blade- go for the Clipper.

 

Looking for more all around good blade with great feel, great top speed, and great flex- go HK.  

 

I switched to the Clipper because of my SP use on the BH. The HK is too thin, and too flexible for SP. It still has the hard feel. But the clipper has the hard AND stiff covered.

 

Plus, the HK is much more drawn to chinese rubber FH. The clipper works well with any rubber almost, the HK- its a crime to use anything but chinese.

 

edit: for clarification, I made it sound like the clipper is harder feel than HK. But i meant to just say its on the harder side. The clipper is a bit softer than the HK, but it's hard to tell due to its stiffness and thickness.
