Does anybody know any good carbon blades that are stiff so they don't vibrate or flex too much, but still has soft wood and good feel??

     Joola Carbon Pro. Just a little vibration. Speed is much slower than Joola says, Off-, All+?  Good feel, loops great. Has thicker layer of wood over the carbon than most.

Butterfly advertises the Kumpuru carbon blade as soft.  I haven't tried it myself.

Blades with hinoki tend to feel softer than those with harder woods, like koto.

The Kevlar blades offered by Nittaku are stiff but also soft in feel as are the aramid and arylate blades offfered by Butterfly and other makers.

The carbon pro is too thin and flexible (and slow) for me..

I would like something with thicker plyes..

The Rossi Carbon is really soft, but it is slow and quite flexible.. I am looking for something inbetween that and the stiff and hard carbon blades like guo 3 c..
