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.
Playing with DHS B2 for a couple of weeks now, I’ve practiced for about 15~20 hours in training and tournament competition, so I’ve formed a fair opinion on it. The weight is 90 g. I glued Xiom Vega Pro max FH, Vega Euro max BH, brand new rubbers. I’ve never played with DHS Long 5, so I cannot compare DHS L5 with DHS B2.
First, DHS B2 is not an OFF+ blade; for me, it is in the OFF- range (near OFF, perhaps – I have a Vega Pro on a Joola Wing Passion Extreme, which is clearly an OFF+ blade, and there is a huge difference in relation with the DHS B2). It took me a few training sessions to adjust my BH push to pass over the net with this blade. OFF- means that you put most attacks on the table, without going over the table.
Second, this is a blade with outstanding control, not stiff, and not bouncy either. Third, the blade+rubbers set keeps improving as the rubbers become “tamed” and less crisp. Now it starts to produce very good looping, all control shots (push, block, reception) are very good, but to attack from mid-distance you have to put some energy in the shots. Service spin is just good, but not overwhelming.
For the price it costs (around 40 USD, buying directly from China) this is a very good buy. I recommend it to people used to all-round blades (and play) who want to develop a “spicier” game, or to exuberant attackers who want to lay more balls on the table. Nevertheless, it is a great buy.
(Extra note: some guys complained about the small handle, but I disagree; I am a 1.90 m tall guy, with a long hand, and I find the B2 handle very comfortable and maneuverable, without the need of a “tape filler/protection” in the handle; and I move the blade a lot in my hand.)
