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
TIBHAR Balsa Allround 50 is a 5-ply blade built around an all-wood stack, with Spruce on the playing surface and a Balsa core. Spruce in the outer layer: Stiff, resonant core wood — fast energy return with a clear, high-pitched feedback. Koto in the medial layer: Hard, dense outer veneer — a crisp, direct hit and plenty of speed straight off the bounce. Balsa in the core: Ultra-light core — big sweet spot, very low blade weight and a soft, muted impact. Physically it measures around 77 g. TIBHAR positions it for all 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
