Does anyone know the characteristics of each type of wood used in blades? If you do, can you make some sort of chart stating their qualities? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :D

WOOD TYPE CHARACTERISTICS

  Arylate
   Arylate is a reinforcing fiber used to expand the sweet spot of the blade and also to provide unsurpassed vibration control.

  Arylate/Carbon
   These blades feature the best of both the Carbon and Arylate benefits. The speed and large sweet spot of Carbon combined with the great vibration control and soft feel of Arylate. Perhaps the ultimate in blade technology.

  Carbon
   Carbon reinforced blades produce great speed along with expanded sweet spots. While fast, the bigger sweet spot provides for a shocking level of control.

  Ayous Wood
   A lightweight, stiff wood that is excellent for close-to-the-table counterdrive play.

  Koto Wood
   Koto wood outer layers produce a faster and stiffer blade. Great wood for players who rely on both looping and countering techniques.

  Bass Wood
   Bass wood has been a mainstay in racket making for over fifty years due to its high degree of control and economical price. It is favored by the close-to-the-table counterdriver as well as players looking to purchase their first professional racket.

  Limba Wood
   The classic European topspin wood. Limba wood adds the soft feel and great control needed by today's modern topspin players.

  Cypress Wood
   The classic Asian attacking wood. Favored by attackers for several decades because of its unique combination of speed and softness. Also known as Hinoki Wood.

  Planchonello Wood
   Planchonello outer layers produce great speed. This wood is most often found in blades designed for the power attacker.

  Yellow Aningre Wood
   Yellow Aningre is the ultimate control wood. Providing a soft feel on contact, this wood is favored by many all-round styles of players.
