Estimated5W+2 Hybrid ZC · Outer
7 plies · Limba surface · Hybrid ZC outer fibre
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 Kinetic Speed is a 7-ply blade built around Hybrid ZC fibre placed outer, 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 ZC in the fibre layer: Hybrid zylon-carbon composition — fast and elastic with a long dwell for its speed. Physically it measures around 84 g. TIBHAR positions it for off 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
