One blade, drawn as technical linework at real shakehand proportions. The laminated edge along the crown and right rim exposes every ply boundary in the stack. Edge depth is illustrative because physical veneer thickness is not published.

About this blade
Butterfly Sardius is a 5-ply blade built around T5000 fibre placed outer, with Hinoki on the playing surface and a Kiri core. Hinoki in the outer layer: Japanese cypress — soft, elastic and forgiving, with a deep catch on the ball. Kiri in the core: Paulownia core — extremely light, damping the stack and slowing the blade down for control. T5000 in the fibre layer: Tamca 5000 carbon — very stiff and fast, the classic high-speed carbon layer. Physically it measures 7.2 mm thick, around 92 g. Butterfly positions it for off+ play.
TTDNA ratings

Construction
Material properties
Playing profile
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
