      I've tried a lot of blades, but the CR has good ball-holding and matches well with short pips on the forehand..

      My hands are big, and the straight (ST) grip on this racket is thick, so it fits my hand really well.
      My playing style is close-to-the-table, so maybe that's why it suits me so well — I don't lose in rallies, and since it also has good bounce, I can hold my own even when pushed back from the table.
      I use tension rubber, but I think it would also suit tacky rubber, or short pips and long pips too.

      I played (Experience: ６〜１０ years)

      Player reviews

      Switched from the Offensive Wood NCT, a 5-ply blade.

      I ordered mine by specified weight at 86g (178g with rubbers on).
      There's nothing hard to do with it - it's a well-balanced blade.

      It's easy to put spin on, and with its soft feel it feels like you're hitting with the core wood rather than bouncing off the top ply.

      It has less bounce than I expected, so the ball settles well over the table,
      making stop, push, and flick - basically the whole short game - easy to do.

      That said, it does feel heavy, so I think you'll need some time using it and
      practice swings to get used to it.

      【Recommended for】
      The Clipper CR has the following traits, so I think it suits close-to-the-table drive players.

      　・The ball settles well over the table.
      　・Ball-holding that feels like a true 5-ply blade
      　・Since it's not a hollow grip, the recovery swing is easy
      　　(in other words, full swings from mid-distance are hard).

      It feels heavier than my previous Offensive Wood NCT, but
      the stability and heaviness of the ball are both better than before, so I plan to keep using it.
