Specifically penhold. I am loving my Clipper already but am wondering how a empty handle blade would be for penhold.

I used to use Tube Carbo which was a WRB blade but I was using 2 sides inverted back then. I remember adding weight to the bottom of the bat due to the head heaviness. I regret selling my Tube Carbo as it might have been a perfect blade for my current play style.

Every penhold blade will get head-heavy if used with rubbers on either side. If you don't like it, you can compensate some by not gluing the rubbers close to the handle (leaving a strip of about 3/4 inch), and/or using less sponge (you wouldn't need more than 1.5mm on your backhand for reverse penhold backhand strokes) and/or light-weight rubber. Several modern SPs are very light-weight.
