5W+2 Hybrid Carbon · Inner

7 plies · Limba surface · Hybrid Carbon inner fibre · 5.9 mm total

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

STIGA Aura Hybrid Carbon is a 7-ply blade built around Hybrid Carbon fibre placed inner, with Limba on the playing surface. Limba in the outer layer: Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes. Hybrid Carbon in the fibre layer: Hybrid fibre reinforcement — combines stability with vibration damping. Physically it measures 5.9 mm thick, around 88 g. STIGA positions it for off 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
