Hey guys, I'm new to this forum

So I've been playing TT since the 4th semester in college and only in the 6th I stopped pushing balls and started learning proper strokes.

I'm a fresh graduate right now, and I've been using a Doublefish premade for a year and I'm looking for an upgrade.

I've obviously done some research and found that 5 plys are the most common thing.
(Iskandar's M8, Yinhe E-3, Yinhe Nsomething (9,10,11), Stiga OC, Stiga AC, and so on)

I've also read some information about SP FH players. And my game is similar to it, a backhand with a hitting forehand. It also says that 7plys are best for SPs.

I'm currently thinking of getting a Stiga Clipper, would this be appropriate to learn some inverted strokes then switching to an SP later?

I'm asking this because a local store is offering a Stiga Clipper for an amazing price.

If you want take it seriously, and can do regular training (I mean 3 to 4 times a week, with a coach or a fixed partner, or at least a serving robot)
then I suggest starting with inverted rubber on both sides util you have built basic form of driving and looping, SP is much more difficult to master with.
If you just play for fun, then it's up to you.
Clipper is more than enough, I also recommend galaxy 437. They are all good for both SP and inverted rubber.

That's just exactly what I wanted to do, even better I train 5 days a week with my cousin (He's older and plays it competitively)

Do you think a clipper classic is suited to accomplish this?

A 28$ new genuine Stiga Clipper, the store basically gave up keeping this on the store after 2+ years

My cousin forced me for a
Chinese rubber (729-08ES 49°) for FH
Palio AK47 Yellow for BH

I just hit a session with him this afternoon.

I liked the vibrations, although I don't know what is a good vibrating feeling/soft or hard feeling/flexy stiff and all

But It definitely is very nice and somewhat satisfying

Some players know exactly at playing style they are better from very early stage. Most are not. Willing to be a hitter may be not your natural tendency but luck of technique. Short pips FH is a bright style but it is difficult to find a competent coach for it.

Stiga Clipper is a good blade and is not too fast with modern 40+ balls. Stiga Clipper has decent (but not the best, something like various Butterfly ALC/ZLC blades are hotter nowadays) resale value. Stiga Clipper is definitely a classic hitter's blade but it does not mean that you need pips to play fast attack style with Clipper.

So I suggest you to buy the basic classic Clipper for a good price but do not stick short pips to it yet.
