Aurora Hexagonal
Blutenkirsche Aurora Hexagonal is a modern offensive blade designed for players seeking a powerful yet controlled game. Its distinctive hexagonal shape expands the sweet spot by approximately 11% and improves aerodynamic handling. The hybrid construction combines Ayous wood with inner Arylate Carbon layers and a Kiri or Paulownia core, creating a stiff, fast feel with crisp feedback and reduced vibration. This blade excels in aggressive loop drives and dynamic rallies, offering a competitive edge through its innovative design and balanced performance for advanced offensive playstyles.
The 7-layer construction features an inner core of Kiri or Paulownia wood sandwiched between Arylate Carbon and outer Ayous plies. This design creates a stiff, fast blade with a large sweet spot, where the carbon layers enhance power and reduce vibration while the wood provides feel and control.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Aurora Hexagonal delivers significant speed with a direct, stiff impact and a flatter trajectory. This makes it highly effective for powerful drives and aggressive attacks, allowing players to generate substantial pace during rallies.
Despite its high speed, this blade maintains impressive control. The hexagonal design enlarges the sweet spot, while the Arylate Carbon layers help stabilize the blade, enabling precise placement and confident soft touches even during fast exchanges.
Players report a firm, stiff feel that provides direct feedback and a solid connection on ball contact. This characteristic supports powerful strokes and clear tactile response during play.
Its speed-oriented materials and construction typically produce a medium-high throw angle, which is advantageous for executing powerful loop drives and attacking shots with good arc.
The stiff construction with Arylate Carbon results in a moderate dwell time. This allows enough ball contact to generate effective spin without sacrificing the blade's inherent speed and directness.
This is a very stiff blade with minimal flexibility. The rigidity contributes to its direct power transfer and fast rebound, favoring players who prefer a solid, unwavering hitting platform.
Arylate Carbon integration effectively reduces unwanted vibrations, leading to a crisper, more controlled feel. Feedback remains clear but without excessive harshness on impact.
Our assessment indicates good workmanship and durable construction for its price point. The materials and finish are consistent with a reliable mid-range blade that performs well for competitive play.
Technology
Blutenkirsche Aurora Hexagonal features an innovative hexagonal blade shape designed to increase the sweet spot by approximately 11% and enhance aerodynamic efficiency. This geometry is paired with a 7-layer composite construction using Ayous wood outer plies, inner Arylate Carbon layers, and a Kiri or Paulownia wood core. The Arylate Carbon provides a crisp feel, reduces vibrations, and boosts power, while the wood plies ensure consistent control. This combination represents a modern approach focusing on performance optimization through material science and unique form factors.

STIGA Cybershape Carbon
Aurora Hexagonal is often compared to the STIGA Cybershape Carbon due to their shared hexagonal design and offensive character. Players note the Aurora tends to feel slightly harder and faster, while the STIGA version can feel a bit softer. Both cater to players seeking the technological benefits of a Cybershape with carbon enhancement, with subtle differences in feel and control.
