What are the oversized Balsa Carbon/ Fiberglass blades that are on a faster side (all+, off-). I developed a pretty serious case of a tennis elbow so I need something light for LP blocking yet stiff and reasonably fast. Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Re-impact blade are specifically designed for that, although they're not composite blades.

Dr. Neubauer Firewall + is oversized, balsa, light and quite fast. It could be played with minimal elbow movements. How good it is or how it suits your game otherwise is different question... 8)

the Hallmark balsa blades are light, oversize and range from medium to very fast, including combination blades.

I play with an 68g off- balsa carbon blade, but it's made by myself so there's no real name for it :).
It's quite balanced with 2 heavy offensive rubbers because of slightly heavier handle. If you use light rubber like pips, the handles can be light and you could get a blade of even less weight.

Nexy Labyrinthos. Fast, light--75ish--oversized, balsa-carbo combi blade. Interestingly enough, I have one for sale... :rofl:

Actually, even all-wood balsa blades can be pretty darned fast - particularly the thicker ones. I used to make them out of hobby store balsa and birch ply. Thinner face plies would slow them down. A combo of 1/4" balsa and 1/32" birch ply would be rocket-fast, 3/16" core with 1/64" birch ply quite a bit slower.
