I never had a Toxic 3 but I have a Toxic 5 that I use as a hard bat. I have posted high speed videos of my Toxic 5. It is easy to see why these blades are so slow. After impact that paddle flexes backwards yet the ball bounces off before the blade starts to move forwards. The blade to not push the ball back on the rebound so all the energy that is used to flex the blade is lost.
 
basically any defensive blade, or a blade with no carbon. 7 ply woodblades are pretty slow in general

Thanks for the answers. Classic DEF blades usually have a large flex and vibration . For me, it is a slow but rigid construction.

Thank you. Too bad this blade is no longer made, this brand doesn't even exist anymore. In our country, I have never even seen it being offered as a gift.

Does anyone know the composition of this blade?
