I've been using clover hooks for a few years now and that coating that makes the yarn slide has not been compromised at all! This was such a fun video to watch and see someone join the clover cult!

I started out using the Clover Soft Touch crochet hooks and I really like those because the yarn just glides over the shaft. I've bought some of the Clover Amour hooks in the larger sizes (L, M/N, O) to use with bulkier yarns. The shaft on those is made from resin but I enjoy working with them. The only other hooks I use regularly are Susan Bates aluminum hooks.

Yes that’s my favourite crochet hooks too. As you said it glide so smoothly. I am pencil holder and it perfect for my hold, very comfortable!

I have both clovers...clover soft touch and clover amour...both great sets!!!

I love to see someone else just trying these out. I have heard other crochet youtubers really talk up these Clover hooks and the more expensive Tulip hooks even down to a scientific level of measuring the surface roughness of each brand. The one youtuber who did that study (Elise Rose Crochet - See her Woobles kit review video) has often talked about how smooth some hooks are over the others and how it makes such a HUGE difference when you're working and ultimately recommended the Clover hooks for their smoothness and more mid tier price point. I still was wary given how extreme the price difference was compared to the much larger and cheaper sets I've gotten from Amazon, so I ordered one hook each from Clover and Tulip to see how big a difference it makes. Aaaand I was actually halfway through making this comment when my own new hooks arrived so I quickly broke them out to do a little test run with some magic circles in two different types of yarn. Like you said, it doesn't seem like there'd be that much difference as I started with my regular hooks, but the Clover slid through like butter when I switched. I tried a Tulip hook too at the same time and while I like the grip a little bit better (It's kind of squishier), I preferred the glide of the Clover for sure and I think given the price difference, I'll definitely invest in a full set of the Clover hooks versus the Tulip.

I switched to clover hooks and I have one complaint. I have all these other hooks from different companies I can't use anymore 😂. Clover can't be beat!

Just bought the set this morning at my my local Michael's. I live in Canada and the set is around 110$. I had a 40% off coupon so I decided to finally give them a try. Did not try them just yet. I'm waiting for my next project because I'm using the Susan Bates ergonomics and I'm not sure if it would make a difference in my stiches/tension by switching now.

I really like how smooth the metal is. It’s the best hook I have for that part of it. I don’t find the handle long enough though (and that goes for a lot of hooks). I’m lucky that my husband is a woodturner so he’s been replacing handles with long wooden ones similar to the shape of the plastic Prym ergonomic. Talking of them, don’t waste your money. The plastic squeaks and is not smooth at all. The handle is great though

Clovers really are good hooks. Another really good hook is the tulip, which is similar to a clover. You should give one a try.

Mate ! - such fun to see yet another crocheter succumb to the attractions of the FABULOUS Clover Amour hooks ! :) Whereabouts in Oz are you ?

Waited 400 days?

The music every few minutes is extremely annoying.

I am and always will be a Clover amour girl 🤍🤎💙 Honestly Japanese know what they are doing, these hooks are perfect they just slide through ANY yarn. I started crocheting with cheap aluminum hooks and my wrists started hurting after only a month of two, I quickly found out about Clover amour hooks and honestly since I got them, I never had any wrist pains even when I crochet long hours🤍 You should definitely get a whole set you will never regret it :) they are my all time go to hooks even though I have a few Furls too but I am gonna be honest they are more pleasing to hold and look at than to crochet with... I MUCH prefer clovers for a smooth ride :) with Furls resin or wood hooks I always have to adapt the yarn that works best because sadly they do not work well with all types of yarns for me personally whereas clovers never fail 🤍
