Anyone know what types of wood are used in the Stiga Energy wood blade?
Anyone know what the blue layer is? I have not seen another blade with these blue layers, and have not found another blade with the same feel...
Cheers!

The blue layers are ayous, but I heard it is not just a ply of
ayous. They said Stiga glues lots of layers (about 0.8mm) of
blue-dyed ayous together, cut vertically (about 0.6mm), and that is the
blue ply used in Energy wood. If you take a closer look of the
blue layer, you should be able to see it (lots of thin layers glued
together).

Agreed with CY. I once smashed my Energy to hell because I didn't like the WRB handle. The blue plys were a bunch of very thin leafs of wood glued together.

Wow, thanks a lot guys! Yes the blue layer does seem that like, you're right! I thought the inner layer was some sort of balsa... although it a lot harder then the 'fat blade' balsa... Cheers! |
