I just built a MHX 7'6" med hvy flippin stick for a friend. It turned out really nice. There fairly light weight (I could have trimmed a little off with mircos) and the action was perfect for pitchin. So far I've liked all the MHX blanks I've used.

I pair mine with the Core 101. In fact, I have 4 of them and rarely do I pick up my actual flipping sticks anymore, except when going deep into the tullies or punching.
or, if you have the patience, wait for the t46 rods from phenix. THAT will be super light weight.

I have two set ups that are 8' Steez flippin stick with 7:1 Steez reels. Hard to find a lighter better combo.
I fish these setups in heavy cover as well and don't have any problems.

The 8' steez is a winner. I just got that 8' after using the 7'1" compile-x last year. The 8' is bad to the bone for light flipping. I don't see myself throwing a 1oz weight to punch with it, as I have another rod for that. But for throwing 1/2oz rigs into holes and pockets it's one bad mambajamba!

i've punched both the delta and clear lake with the 8' steez and it has been stellar.
