Stack order — face A to face B

01
LimbaOuter ply
Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes.
02
AyousMedial ply
Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot.
03
Super ZLCFibre layer
High-density zylon-carbon — the stiffest, fastest of the fibre families with a hard catapult.
04
Kiri — coreCore
Paulownia core — extremely light, damping the stack and slowing the blade down for control.

A TTDNA blade rating measures how much of the named characteristic a blade has. For descriptive rows — flex, stiffness, vibration, head heaviness, weight, thickness, carbon feel, softness, technique requirement, spin sensitivity — a higher number means more, not better.
