Blade Materials Properties

Here is a little offering, it is as accurate as I could make it without a lot of work.  Maybe others can add info or help with corrections.

Kiso is considered the premium type of Hinoki. These woods are favored for the feeling of softness and (relative) control combined with speed.  Prized especially for one ply Jpen blades, and also used as the outer ply of the classic Butfy Tamca 5000 carbon blades.  Becoming more popular recently and being used by many blade manufactures.

Spruce from a cold climate has some properties similar to hinoki, but is harder and faster, less control, used for the outer plies of the Schlager carbon.

Obeche and Abachi are the same wood, different spelling.  Abachi is the harder version of balsa.  Offers the much control for a blade and so often used to help tame a powerful blade construction.

Koto wood makes a harder and stiffer blade, very much appreciated by older male players, and those players who like to both loop and counter.

Limba is used to help give a blade a softer feel.

Ayous is a hard wood which adds accurate power, and touch.

Anigre adds control.

Maple offers control and moderate speed and a somewhat different feel when compared to other woods which offer similar performance.

Basswood good touch, high control, low power.

Walnut and Mahogany, not real certain about these, but I am guessing good for top spin play, classic euro style.

Cork helps add a little flex to an otherwise stiff blade, i.e., mid-distance kick.

Bamboo medium speed good for the top spin game.
