5W+2 Carbon · Inner

7 plies · Ayous surface · Carbon inner fibre · Ayous core · 6 mm total

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.

Note: TIBHAR publishes no layer table. Independent databases and the retail description agree on three soft ayous veneers with two carbon layers around the core; the carbon itself is only described as specially developed, not as a named fibre.

About this blade

TIBHAR Samsonov Carbon is a 7-ply blade built around Carbon fibre placed inner, with Ayous on the playing surface and a Ayous core. Ayous in the outer layer: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Ayous in the core: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Carbon in the fibre layer: Pure carbon — maximum stiffness and speed, with a hard, direct impact. Physically it measures 6 mm thick, around 92 g. TIBHAR 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
