About this blade

STIGA Rosewood NCT V is a 5-ply blade built around an all-wood stack, with Rosewood on the playing surface and a Ayous core. Rosewood in the outer layer: Dense rosewood veneer — a firm contact and direct power transfer. 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 5.8 mm thick, around 85 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
