Stiffer with stronger rebound, lower arc and harder feeling. Aura feels and behaves closer to outer fiber blades than IFLALC but the feeling is still petty distinctly inner type. The outer ply is extremely thin, I have already chipped mine in a few places (😭)

IMO if you're looking for an upgrade to IFLALC, I'd just spend the money on a Harimoto SALC. I felt Aura has really good potential for shot quality but I also found it annoyingly sensitive to blade angle relative to impact, HSALC has lower overall shot quality but is more straightforwards and predictable, easier to hit though and much better to block with.

IT really sucks that stiga can't build solid outer plies and use ALC. The ALC thing still puzzles me.

Thanks!
Do you think if I seal the blade it won't get chipped?
I want something beetwen the IFLALC and the HARIMOTO SALC. I think that my Korbel is too slow. I already tried some blades. I played with: Viscaria, Boll Alc, Fan zhendong Alc and Harimoto ALC. I didn't use them too much, like 20 minutes because they are from my friends. With the FZD ALC and the Boll ALC, i loved the way my top spins were going. Much more safe than my korbel. The problem with these blades is the short game. I can't control them. I didn't like the feeling of Harimoto ALC. The one I like the most was Viscaria, because it was the most balanced, although it is still fast for me.
That's why I came to Aura, but if you are saying this to me, do you have another suggestion of a blade for me?

I think the solution has to be found by answering, what do you want to put up with? You will always sacrifice in an area of performance when it comes to equipment. Aura is a good blade, chipping wont be solved unless you heavily seal the blade edge, it is closer to outer than IFLALC/HALC, but it is also faster and more direct like Viscaria.

There's a few options you can consider even

A heavier IFL ALC
Ovtcharov IF
Franziska IF

Is the chinese market Stiga Surge the same blade as the Aura? What is the surface made of on the Aura?

EDIT: outer ply on Aura seems to be Limba. And according to this video, Surge uses yellow carbon fiber and Aura green:

Stiga player Xu Yingbin with a new Cybershape blade. Green handle and if i´m not misstaken it´s called Aura. Do we have any info about this blade?

I would say that this blade has a lot of AURA.
