Any multi-ply blade with a relatively denser core.

To give you an idea of what I mean, Balsa has an average density of 150kg per cubic meter, while Kiri's density is about 280 kg a cube.

Ayous however has a density of about 350kg per cube, as does Western Red Cedar and some species of Lauan / Meranti / Shorea spp. Any blade where the core density is around about 320kg per cube (or more) should give you the extra feedback you're looking for.

Any decent one ply blade should also do the job. Hinoki for example has a density of around 420kg per cube, while Skollawood is around 440kg per cube, which is partially why both these woods feel so good to play with.
Once you get about 500kg per cube though you run the risk of getting higher frequency vibrations happening, which leads to buzz. (These woods are also frankly too heavy to act as a blade's core, unless you really happen to like very heavy blades.

An average density of 300 to 450 kg per cube is really the goldilocks zone for getting decent feedback out of an entire blade really, not just the core. Under this range and the blade is usually a bit light and soft. Over that range and the blade is typically a little bit hard and heavy.

Donic Appelgren allplay…
Look for a thinner (< 5.8 mm or so ) flexy allwood one of you want it to vibrate long… If you add a carbon layer to the equation you will normally get a sharper short vibration.
I find Nittaku S-CZ or Donic Appelgren WC 89 good for this…

Cheers

Please list blades with good feedback and vibration.
I love blades with vibrations. Feels lively to use and I know if I hit the ball with quality or not through vibration.
These blades I have tried with good vibration.
Stiga allround classic
Sanwei V5 Pro
Stiga Carbonado 145

Using fzd alc now but dont have much vibration.
Petr Korbel, I remember that blade vibrated a lot for me

fzd is almost dead in terms of feel. I'd suggest the carbonado 90 and viscaria

these are all blades I have played with and most of them have limba/ayous combination which is pretty a basic standard when it comes to feeling/flexibility/vibration for commercial blade
