DHS Hurricane Bo 2 (Hurricane B2)
Blade description:
The DHS Hurricane Bo 2 is a 5+2 construction composite blade featuring Limba outer plies and Arylate Carbon layers. It is recognized as a versatile, well-balanced option that offers a blend of performance characteristics similar to higher-end models, characterized by a soft touch and a significant sweet spot.
Playing Characteristics
- Speed and Stiffness: Generally categorized in the OFF- to OFF speed range, the blade is not overly bouncy or excessively stiff. It provides sufficient power for mid-distance looping while maintaining stability during blocking.
- Feel and Control: The blade is noted for its flexibility and excellent control in the short game, including pushes and flicks. It provides a soft feel, allowing for a good dwell time that facilitates high-spin, controlled looping.
- Tactile Feedback: Users report that the blade is easy to maneuver, making it effective for backhand flicks and quick transitions.
Physical Attributes
- Construction: The blade utilizes a Limba-Limba-Arylate Carbon-Ayous-Arylate Carbon-Limba-Limba composition.
- Design: The handle is often described as relatively thin, though this is generally considered comfortable and maneuverable. The head size is designed to be manageable, offering a balance between offensive capability and ease of movement.
- Rubber Pairing: The blade pairs well with both tacky Chinese rubbers and modern tensioned rubbers, though softer-to-medium hardness rubbers are frequently recommended to optimize the opening loop and overall playability.

Awesome blade plays a lot like HL5. If you want a blade like HL5 but cheaper, just buy this. The quality is downgraded a bit but it plays as good as HL5, just a little bit stiffer. It can be paired with h3 neo. The quality is good and it has a large sweet spot.
Con: The handle is a little bit too thin. The headsize is smaller than HL5 so it has a little bit less dwell time but it is easier to backhand flick than HL5, which is hard because it is too big. Overall, this is an awesome blade for its price! Recommended.

Very well balanced blade in all aspects, with a soft touch. Stiff enough for consistent blocking, flexible enough for looping with good arc. If you prefer soft limba outer ply and have played with a clipper-type blade and now want to change to carbon for more speed and mid-distance looping improvement, this is a good choice. Good for poly ball.
I think you should use softer rubber with this, or you will have problems opening up. 45 degrees is enough, trust me, but on FH you can go up to 48. (assuming you don’t boost excessively)
Not so good for me as I prefer Koto outer and we are still playing with celluloid as well as seamless AND abs, so it is too fast in some instances.

It’s a nice blade, but it’s not worth being number one.
