Maybe you are right. To be honest, I have no idea. Composition looks like this:

If you look closely in the video u added Stiga is stating the different layers besides of the core. I read somewhere on a chinese forum that the core wood is "African White Wood" also known as Ayous.

I wonder how different 12k carbon is from textreme.
I have no idea, but I think those are 2 terms that technically describe the same material. As you probably already know 12k means there is 12 000 fibers in a single tow and TeXtreme is more about how material is woven to spread load (impact in this case?). On their website they also said that they can also make material from other fibers not only carbon (source: http://www.textreme.com/technology/what-is-spread-tow-technology/).
We normally work with carbon fiber (HS, IM and HM) but has successfully also spread for example aramid, UMWPE, PBO and Innegra fibers.
PS: Sry for being nitpicky hard headed engineer.
Also if someone wants to buy "TeXtreme", they sell it:

Nah that is fine. At least you do not beat a dead horse.

It's going to be easy to spot because of the top ply colour. Looks like he isn't using it in Qatar, so probably just some marketing from Stiga:

He is still using the infinity handle. I guess it would affect his feel if handles are changed abruptly.

Yes, that's all we can see - the handle hasn't changed. But the top ply is still a light colour, so he's not using the Legacy Carbon at the moment, which was the point I was responding to.

i do not why textreme .. the bound is to lose ... and on the cross sections it has to have different forces ... it is strange

There are plies of wood on top of it, a construction that distributes force. Perhaps enough so to deal with the different cross section properties of the weave?

What i mean with the handle is the handle not the whole blade. What i mean is that even if he colors the top ply as black and then change the handle into the handle of legacy, it would probably affect his gameplay. That is why he is still using the infinity handle with viscaria.
