Default Clutch going bad?

I just notice recently when Im driving in the low rpm's when I hits the gas for WOT it slips, but when im in the middle/high rpms I floor it , it doesnt slip at all, its a stg4 clutch master... is my clutch going bad? but if i ease on the gas without flooring it through the lower rpm's it doesnt slip, only when i give it gas in the lower rpms if im in 3rd/4th/5th/ and I floor it thats when it slips

yep it sounds like it's slipping for sure but what year is your car? if it's a cable clutch, it just needs to be adjusted.

Here's how you test:

Drive a little in 1st gear (to like 10mph)

Shift it to 4th gear...if it stalls, the clutch is good. If it revs up, your clutch is bad.

Its okay, oem exedy replacement clutches on ebay are only like $130...clutch discs are only $50 if you only feel like replacing the disk.

Yep I'd say that clutch is done and will continue to get worse and slip more. Time to change it out for a new one.
