DHS Hurricane 301X

Excellent stuff, it has replaced my Viscaria. I like this bat better.

Very fast yet has exceptional control at a long distance. It’s a professional blade. Highly recommended.

The feeling, flexibility, and precision of 301 are much better than 301X. I bought this as I wanted a slightly faster blade, but it turns out that the 301 is more reliable. 301X may work better with softer rubbers. The rubbers I’m using are DHS H3 Turbo Pro & Gewo NexXus 53 Superselect.

It perfectly suits the game with loops, and the sensations are quite clear. It shows well with different types of overlays. I tried it with Dianchi D forhand and Dignics 05. Loops are easy to make and fly at good speed. I also love the DHS handles. They are easy to maneuver and help make a powerful top spin.

It feels very good with many rubbers I matched, and it is very balanced. My first ALC inner layer blade, and I liked it.

This is a very fast ALC blade, definitely not for a beginner. You need to have decent TT experience to tame it. The surface is quite stiff and hard. The handle is thin; therefore, an overgrip may be considered.

Be careful with rubber selection; a slow rubber may be required.

It requires gentle technique when playing in the close-to-table zone.

I love playing backhand with this blade.

Overall, this is a good choice for developed OFF+ speed-oriented attackers.

PS: Lacquering is strongly recommended before gluing; the outer ply is loose.

I played a number of blades, including the Hurricane no.2, Treiber CO OFF/S, VS Unlimited, Viscaria, and SK Carbon, always using the same rubber FH: MX-P and BH: Mantra M.

Each blade is slightly different. The SK is too fast with no control, while the Viscaria is well balanced in all aspects but doesn’t shine in any one aspect. The Treiber CO and VS Unlimited are demanding blades, even better with more speed and control than the Viscaria.

The DHS 301x has some magic, nothing off the charts, yet something about it that I find myself going to it every time. Speed, control, and spin are all factors of the player connecting with a capable blade. The weight, feel, reaction, and handle of this blade fit my hand perfectly, becoming an extension of my arm. It’s not the best blade I own, but it is the best choice for value for money. Well done, DHS, you’ve created a $60 blade that can hold its head high amongst blades double or even triple its price.

Я пробовал на FH Hurricane 3 и Nittaku Fastarc G-1, а на BH — Fastarc G-1 и Victas V11 Extra! Больше понравилась комбинация H3 + V11 Extra! Я не профи и больше не могу сказать, чтобы не ввести кого-то в заблуждение! Обязательно нанесите лак, шпон выдирается при снятии накладки! P. S. Основание неплохое, труднее подобрать к нему накладки! Спасибо ещё раз TT11 за отличный сервис и быструю доставку!

Although this blade is carbon, the control is amazing! Slower than Hurricane Ma Long. The handle feels nice and comfortable. The box provided was amazing too!!

TLDR:
Nice upgrade to the 301 for loopers seeking slightly more power and stability; excellent for RPB.

Gameplay and Equipment:
I use this blade with an RPB playstyle, USATT rating ~2000. It’s paired with H3N 41 2.15mm Orange Forehand and Goldarc 8 47.5 MAX Backhand. I previously used the H301.

Comparison to H301:
This blade shares the 301’s linear feel, especially on low-to-mid impact shots. However, with more power, the composite kicks in, providing more power, throw, and arc. It’s also crispier and dampens vibrations better than the H301. These qualities enhance the RPB playstyle’s stability.

Quirks for Flat Hitters:
However, this blade has a quirk that flat hitters should note. It’s easy to bottom out the blade, producing a plasticky sound and potential overshooting when contact is too flat. This quirk is more pronounced compared to the regular H301.

Overall:
For loopers seeking an upgrade from the 301, this blade offers increased power and stability without compromising control. However, flat hitters should be aware of the potential bottoming-out issue.
