About this blade
TIBHAR IV-L Balsa is a 6-ply blade built around an all-wood stack, with Ayous on the playing surface and a Balsa core. Ayous in the outer layer: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Balsa in the core: Ultra-light core — big sweet spot, very low blade weight and a soft, muted impact. Physically it measures around 70 g. TIBHAR positions it for all play.
TTDNA ratings
NormalizedPerformance
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
