About this blade

Butterfly Kumpuru is a 5-ply blade built around T5000 fibre placed outer, with Koto on the playing surface and a Ayous core. Koto in the outer layer: Hard, dense outer veneer — a crisp, direct hit and plenty of speed straight off the bounce. Ayous in the core: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. T5000 in the fibre layer: Tamca 5000 carbon — very stiff and fast, the classic high-speed carbon layer. Physically it measures 5.7 mm thick. Butterfly positions it for all play.

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.

TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology
