Source note: Only the 3 wood + 2 T5000 carbon structure is confirmed. Species claims disagree across sources (Hinoki/Kiri in one aggregator, Koto or Limba elsewhere) and none are manufacturer or specialist confirmed, so no species is asserted here.

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.
