Please tell me if you know a blade with a similar wood composition but lighter. I really appreciate your input. Thank you very much.

This is one of the best blades I have played with. Its all-wood construction gives it a nice, large sweet spot, making it great for all-round offensive players. It is good for touch shots at the table, but still has the pace for mid-range loops.
