tung is kiri, thus that makes this blade a viscaria variant.
nice scoop!

“tung: (Vernicia fordii) used as inner plies; the wood of the tree is lightweight and strong, and is sometimes used as a substitute for balsa or basswood.
e.g., Nittaku Acoustic, Joola Guo”

remarkable.. don't understand why @hipnotic thinks they're the same kind of wood with a different name.“tung: (Vernicia fordii) used as inner plies; the wood of the tree is lightweight and strong, and is sometimes used as a substitute for balsa or basswood.

From what I gather, the wood people are referring to as "tung" in the TT world isn't actually tung but a hybrid Chinese wood called "shan tong." Info about the wood is here: https://paulownia.pro/en/paulownia-shan-tong/
Note that the website states that shan tong is an artificially created hybrid made from paulownia tomentosa. That species is what Japanese refer to as "kiri."
So one theory is that this new Chinese made kiri hybrid called tong was mistakenly transliterated as tung. Tung is a tree that is well known for its oil and sounds similar. But tung doesn't seem to be used for lumber.
If you search for "tung lumber," you get results for buying paulownia wood from China, suggesting that they aren't selling tung but the hybrid tong wood. So this is some evidence supporting this theory.
Even if I'm way off base here one takeaway is that the blade manufacturers are using shorthand when they indicate a type of wood. In reality there are many different hybrids and variants in the lumber industry since they are constantly engineering wood to be easier to grow, more resistant to disease, and changing the properties to be more suitable to the lumber's intended use.

I read that normal tung is poisonous as hell. One seed of the tree can kill a man.
I guess they don’t want to work with wood from a plant that is poisonous through every vain.

My vote goes to BS . Green, blue, red ,yellow brown or whatever it is just a different dye and the rest is sales -BS. 🤣
I got a blade from Hypnotic that has got some red stuff in it which brings me to the next BS, Aramid, Kevlar ,Arylate etc etc etc. what difference does it make ? In the end I still have not managed to beat MaLong 🤣🤣🤣
Guys, tongmu is hanyu pinyi (phonics in Chinese) which translate to Paulownia (aka kiri)

配的两面外套，正手黄金探戈，反手v15e，上手是软外置的感觉，红芳碳属于柔和 好控的纤维，拉球打透很清脆，也有持球感，不像银河pro 01那种像打酥的纤维感，75.1拉球更清晰，三维这块做的还是不错的，手感不会模糊。正反手比较均衡，正手拉球很容易上手，很稳，这点不错，比之前蓝75容错更高，精简动作快收小臂，类似victas 波尔精神这种板子，这类底板好上台所以底劲力量不是很大，75.1适合中近台打法，底劲不算很大，中等力量球质不太高，发上力能打出较高的质量，发力后的旋转挺好的，出球质量高于506x还有一些

Thanks for the confirmation!
If anything this mixup mightve shed some light on the bizarre mystery of why it's been believed that the Nittaku Acoustic and no other blade has a tung tree core. I'm heavily leaning towards it just being kiri (or at least some paulownia variety).

By the Paulownia exclusion principle, the core can't be both tung and kiri

Its like the rgb in computer fans. Red gives more power, Blue is for control(cooling) and Green is like 50/50 of both.

Nah it's like mechanical keyboard MX switches. Blue is the loudest and most 'clicky' sounding. Red is more linear and more quiet. You use red when you want to play TT at night when your wife is in the same room sleeping.No,no,no,no.
