All-wood
Excelente madero para atacar y bloquear. Lo utilicé por 3 años. Recomendado. Es pura madera. Tiene hinoki.
This all-wood, 5-ply blade offers exceptional speed, outstanding control, and a remarkable feel. To generate spin, it’s crucial to rely on your arm or wrist movement; otherwise, the blade will counter-drive your stroke. Nevertheless, with proper technique, you can achieve incredible spin. Looping from the mid-table is effortless and spin-laden. The blade’s remarkable control and feel facilitate seamless transitions between any shot.
Initially, the blade may feel somewhat slow, but with increased familiarity, it empowers you to generate speed and spin at will. I’ve equipped the forehand with H3neo and the backhand with 729 Battle 2—an uncommon combination. However, the tacky properties of the 729 allow me to produce substantial spin on my backhand strokes. The blade’s medium-high arc minimizes the need for significant adjustments against different opponents.
The handle is praiseworthy but slightly weighty for my preference, although it remains manageable. Blocking topspins or receiving short, spinny serves comes naturally. Touch play is satisfactory. After using this blade for four months, I’ve failed to discover any substantial drawbacks. On the contrary, I’ve become an ardent admirer. It’s a genuine classic among offensive all-wood blades, but it’s not recommended for defensive players.
One of the classic pure offensive woods, this blade is thin, which is very good for swinging fast. It excels in all-out offense. If you’ve learned to use this blade well, you can play an excellent third ball attack or even hard topspin to topspin rally, especially on mid-distance.
Paired with Hurricane III Provincial, Rasant Power Grip, or Rhyzm in FH while Acuda S2 on BH-wow! it’s a nice combination. Smashing and counterlooping are excellent and often deadly to your opponent.
Pour les attaquants modernes, ce bois est exceptionnel en vitesse tout en gardant un contrôle au-dessus de la moyenne. De plus, le rapport qualité-prix est incomparable ;)
I have been using this blade since March 2013. Previously, I used Donic’s Chuan Senso Carbon. This blade is simply stunning. The counters are good, the blocks are decent, and the biggest threat is the top spin. Once you play a bit with this blade, you realize why WL used it. It is excellent. Overall, it gives you just about everything you can ask for. You get good spin on the service and a decent short game. (Mind you, this blade is primarily for attackers/loopers. I do not claim to be an all-out attacker, more of an all-around player with decent forehand spin.)
That being said, I should bring to light the cons of this blade. To use it effectively, you need to train. Otherwise, you will get tired very easily. The handle is heavy, which means your hands need to be able to absorb the strain of an all-out attack for the duration of the match you are playing. Other than that, though, I really can’t say anything bad about this blade.
I use this blade with Donic’s desto f-1 on the forehand and Andro’s hexer duro on the backhand. It serves me well as I have a short-fast style for topspins with aggressive blocks. In general, I’d say use soft rubbers on both sides to truly make use of this looping machine.
In the end, I would say, thank you DHS for making such a wonderful blade. (I’m not certain if the blade was entirely made by DHS since it says DHS-Nittaku on the handle.) Good job, DHS! I hope you make more of these blades in the future.
Very good offensive blade. Very suitable for a power looper with Tenergy or other very fast tensor rubbers. Chinese rubbers need booster.
Coming from Amultart, I found this blade a little less in bounce, especially when you go for blocks. Blocking with Amultart made it feel like it was countered. However, after training for a couple of hours, I adapted the necessary adjustments. I used it with an H3 neo nat’l Blue sponge (forehand). You need to use your arms to drive it effectively. It offers good blocking capabilities, but a counter is much more preferable. The blade is thin, making it excellent for swinging fast. It provides more feeling and vibrations when blocking, which I appreciate. If you don’t like the vibrations, you’ll be forced to counter and find it easier to do so. This blade also flips easier than Amultart. Its strength lies in all-out offense.
Excellent Blade!
This blade is a great choice for players of all levels, but it is especially well-suited for beginners and intermediate players. The blade is made of high-quality materials and is very durable. It has a good balance of speed and control, making it a great all-around blade. The blade is also very comfortable to hold and use.
Here are some of the benefits of using this blade:
* Provides good control for beginners and intermediate players * Offers great speed for offensive players * Made with high-quality materials and durable * Comfortable to hold and use * Good balance of speed and control.
If you are looking for a blade that will help you improve your game, this is a great option.
I recently got this blade and was able to get accustomed to it. I had a 729-SST on my forehand and Donic Coppa Platin on my backhand. It’s really good for an all-out offensive game. If you’ve learned to use this blade well, you can play a very good topspin to topspin, especially on mid-distance.
I had a hard time learning close to table games since the blade is hard and fast. Also, at first, it’s hard to do blocks on this blade, but once you get used to it, you could play a good power block game with this.
Offensive total, very much fast, is a champion wood!
Very nice and powerful blade. Outstanding value for money. It is faster than HK, which is a good thing if you are after speed and can control it.
It has a larger sweet spot. In my opinion, it is faster, easier to control, and overall, it is a better alternative to BTY Peter Korbel.
The FL handle is very comfortable. It is a good fit for medium and medium-to-hard Chinese rubbers.
One of the most underrated, misunderstood, and under-appreciated all-wood blades out there.
This is a very fast blade, very offensive, yet it offers good control. I use a variation with Hurricane II or a Hurricane III with NEO sponge on forehand and G666 on backhand, and it turns out greatly.
It is excellent for playing at a medium distance.
Review of DHS H-WL + 2xH3 Neo Blade**
I recently started playing with the DHS H-WL + 2xH3 Neo blade. Coming from the Joola R*1+ Epress One/Two combination, I must say that the mid-distance game feels very easy and linear with this blade. However, close to the table, I have some difficulty with blocks and pushes. On the other hand, smashing and counterlooping are excellent and often deadly.
I have quite wide swings compared to other Euro-style players at my club, which was the original reason I switched to Chinese equipment as my main setup. Fortunately, I did not have any major adjustment issues.
I have owned this blade for approximately a year and I can confidently state that it is an exceptional choice. It exhibits outstanding offensive capabilities while maintaining impressive spin potential. However, it is advisable to avoid blocking shots with this blade, as it may compromise your defense. Overall, I would rate it an 8/10.
This blade is not an OFF+ but rather an OFF blade. It has a stiff and hard feel. In the beginning, it may be difficult to generate very spinny topspins, but with consistent training, you will be able to maximize its potential.
This blade excels at mid-distance play. However, near the table, it may be challenging to control the ball at full speed, as it tends to fly too far. This blade is not suitable for beginners and requires some skill to master.
Once you have mastered it, you can execute dangerous and aggressive offensive play with fast topspins and hard smashes. Importantly, this blade has a low catapult effect, which means that the ball flies relatively straight, providing excellent control over your shots.
In summary, this blade is designed for absolute offensive players who prioritize control.
