The wooden surface outer plies are followed by a thin layer of carbon fiber. The addition of the carbon fiber will make the blade lighter, stronger and stiffer. This provides a larger sweet spot than an all-wood blade and will therefore be more consistent. Flextra is a terrific intermediate level rubber with a bit more spin than speed. The softer sponge layer of Flextra will 'hold' the ball longer making it ideal for learning the basics.
