Already tried korbel, but its head heavy, too flexy, and almost no power :/

Then you are looking for impossible things - you have to realize that the whole point of composite materials is to get stiff blades with thinner heads. IF you use pure wood, you need to gave the blade more and thicker plies to make it faster and stiffer.

The blade will be heavier and it will be head heavy with modern handles unless you fill up the handle yourself. If you can't deal with thicker blades, then look for a composite that has the composite plies thinner or buried deeper in the blade or try a ZLF blade.

If you got an OSP Virtuoso+ (Plus) and asked them to make it about 90 grams, it would be just a small amount slower than a TB ALC. but it is decently fast for an all wood 5 ply. The handle is solid so mine does not feel head heavy. In fact, because if the solid handle, all my OSP blades feel center balanced or handle heavy. Which makes the blade feel about 3-5 grams lighter than it is.

An OSP Martin may be a bit faster. You would probably want that to be about 94 grams (that is what they say is the "top" weight for that blade). It is a 7 ply blade that is supposed to be faster than the Virtuoso Plus.

One of those two may be good for you. These blades are faster than a Korbel and have a crisper more alive feeling.

But the Korbel is a good blade. And blade speed is overrated. With good technique you can launch rockets with a Korbel. A Stiga Allround Classic is much slower than a Korbel and I can still launch rockets with one of those.

In my opinion, NextLevel gave some good advice.

This tends to be the bottom line when dealing with someone who is asking this question. At the level that you may need these faster blades, this question is usually moot because of boosting. Pros are on record playing with Korbels and Powerwoods so if you need something faster, either you boost or get in the gym.

And what is the speed of Timo Boll Spirit?
I'm not saying that Timo Boll Spirit is fast as hell, im just comparing to a boll spirit, because was my main blade for 4 years, before changing to timo boll ALC(and now Viscaria :p) and besides, Timo Boll Spirit is a blade with decent speed, decent control, decent weight, it's just balanced. And I would like to try a wooden blade outseason, that i could have better control than Viscaria/ALC/TBS, without loosing the ease of finishing points, do spinny topspins, do hitts and active block, and dont loose the ability to play behind the table like i do with ALC. I was thinking about Stiga Clipper, BTY Andrej Mazunov, or Tibhar Illusion Killer. I never try that blades, but i heard they have all decent speed. Im not looking for slow(for me ahaha)allwood blades. apart from that 3 ALC blades, I've started playing with a Primorac Off-(very slow xD), I used a Offensive Classig WRB(head heavy as hell ahahah) and used Petr Korbel(head heavy, and my technique didn?t allowed me to do fast shots).

Mazunov doesnt carry a decent speed, one of the fastest that bty has. Wt is around 100 to 120 gms. Rarely you find a 90gms.

My question was clear, i didn't say how fast or fastest, i just wanted to know what is the speed, even if it is slow speed, so i hope no one misunderstood my question.

Everyone gave their choices or recommendations, then i can do the same too and it is up to you, and ere are my recommendations regardless of the prices or quality:

DHS Hurricane King [normal one]
Stiga Clipper
Yasaka Extra Special
Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive

Morning Eduardo yes i have used this blade.. it is fast but it has a good ball feel and the wt is i should say balance not head heavy for a 100gms blade. Look for an old metal tag. They are better than the new ones on the market. Playable controllable monster
