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 Emerald VPS V is a 5-ply blade built around an all-wood stack, with Ebony on the playing surface and a Ayous core. Ebony in the outer layer: Dense ebony outer veneer — a hard, direct surface with compact feedback. Spruce in the medial layer: Stiff, resonant core wood — fast energy return with a clear, high-pitched feedback. Ayous in the core: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Physically it measures 5.9 mm thick, around 90 g. STIGA 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
