Fastest limba outer all wood blades

This user has no status.
I have 2 blades which I am using.
1. Dhs pg7
2. Yasaka ma lin extra offensive
I like both blades and both are different, yeo being a sharper blade.
But I really liked dhs pg7 for its dwell since it has limba outer. But it is quite slow for me since I use chinese rubbers and don't boost them regularly.
Hence I would like to know fastest all wood blades with limba outer(for dwell).

Probably the Jun Mizutani ZLC. (Not Super ZLC). Especially if you get a heavier one.

A 95 gram Stiga Clipper should be comparable too.

OSP Martin at about 95 grams would probably be pretty similar speed to the Clipper. The OSP Martin CRW UFS Off++ Carbon blade might be faster than the JM blade. But I am not sure how OSP is doing their carbon. So it might be hard. Look for reviews of that.

There may be something faster with Limba as the outer ply that I don't know about. But any of those should be pretty good.

YEO is not all limba outer. And JM ZLC is not all wood.

I think the new Samsonov Force Pro Black edition and various 7ply Clipper variants are contenders. Mizuno Fortius may also contend.

The problem is that for fast all wood blades, you need to make the blades thicker and that affects other things. You would need a harder wood for speed.

He did say that the reason he wanted to know what the fastest blade with Limba outer ply is, was because he likes the PG7's dwell time more than the harder YOE. So I think he knew YOE wasn't Limba.

I guess I spaced out about the all wood part and thought he was just asking for fastest blade with Limba outer ply. So I included 2 carbon blades.

The two fastest all wood blades with a Limba outer ply would be:

1) 95 gram Clipper (or heavier)
2) 94 gram OSP Martin (or heavier if you can get them to make one heavier).

Also, the blades NextLevel mentioned:

I think the new Samsonov Force Pro Black edition and....Mizuno Fortius may also contend.

I'm guessing are probably up there as well.

Clipper is an awesome blade. You can't go wrong there.
