5W+2 Kevlar Carbon · Outer

7 plies · Limba surface · Kevlar Carbon outer fibre · Kiri core · 5.95 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.

Stack order — face A to face B

  1. 01
    LimbaOuter ply

    Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes.

    Kevlar CarbonFibre layer

    Kevlar-carbon weave — stability and speed with the vibration taken out of the impact.

  3. 03
    AyousMedial ply

    Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot.

    Paulownia core — extremely light, damping the stack and slowing the blade down for control.

Note: Specialist inspection places the fibre directly under the limba top layer and calls it kevlar carbon, while a blade database labels the same layer arylate carbon. The ayous medials and kiri core come from that database alone.

About this blade

TIBHAR VS Unlimited is a 7-ply blade built around Kevlar Carbon fibre placed outer, with Limba on the playing surface and a Kiri core. Limba in the outer layer: Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes. Ayous in the medial layer: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Kiri in the core: Paulownia core — extremely light, damping the stack and slowing the blade down for control. Kevlar Carbon in the fibre layer: Kevlar-carbon weave — stability and speed with the vibration taken out of the impact. Physically it measures 5.95 mm thick, around 87 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
