Hey Lem, glad you enjoyed the new episode! I think you are spot on in trying to stick with what you have found comfortable in the past. There isn’t really such a thing as a “slow” carbon blade but there are certainly some which are a lot more slow and controlled than some of the modern blades of very high speed now a days. Me personally I like all wood blades, just for the feeling, of course that is completely personal and every player will prefer different things 🙂
