It’s a perfect offensive blade. The feeling, control, feedback, and handle are all excellent. It also has a good weight. I can’t think of any other blade that is as good as this one. The only downside is that it is expensive.

I do not know what wood it is composed of. If someone could post it in a review, that would be great.

“Structure of HH3 is koto — ayous (horizontal) — fiber glass — ayous (horizontal) — koto.”

Handle FL is a good and nice blade. I have never used a blade longer than 3 years. I use Butterfly rubber FH T05FX and BH, T80FX. I am feeling comfortable even with vibration, good spin, smash and control. It sounds good with adidas tenson ultra. I will try it.

Best blade I have ever used. Right from the get-go, I was able to control the ball with ease. The spin is outrageous, and it sacrifices a bit of speed for excellent spin and control. However, it is still quite a fast offensive blade, so you won’t be sacrificing too much speed.

This is a very nice blade. I consider it worth owning a backup because the control and power are excellent.

A cheaper alternative is the DHS G13, but it has a less fine finish.

This is the first racket I was truly content with to a perfect degree! (C-Pen version) First off, the dark pinch is perfect and really nice. (In contrast to the very light pinched Silver line Carbon I tried before). Secondly, it has very little vibration, but the little vibration the blade has is comfortable in my hand and reflects good feedback.

The blade’s structure itself is: koto - ayous (horizontal) - fiberglass - ayous (horizontal) - koto. The fiberglass core is probably the source of the nice dark pinch.

The blade is pretty hard (not too hard, just medium-hard!) yet very controlled and much more loopable than you’d think (which also means it’s great for spin!) with that hardness. I sealed the blade as well, which also gives the whole blade a dark, nicer color. It’s said sealing the blade differs the hardness, which is probably correct but to a very small degree (as long as you keep the layer thin), but I would personally recommend sealing it, as it also makes it more durable!

It has a big sweet spot and its speed is (as mentioned above) perfect with the amount of control it has. I highly doubt you will get any blade with as much speed and still have the same amount of control. (Personally using with it with Donic Bluefire JP 01-turbo and jp-03).

This blade is optimized for medium to far distance shooting, mainly medium-far. It works well close to the table, but there are probably other blades better for close to the table (but those would obviously be worse further away from the table!). I prefer to step back a bit, so for me, it’s perfect!

If I were to point out any cons with this blade, it might be the durability. However, I’ve had it for more than a year now, with a couple of bumps on the edge due to hard punches that hit the table or table edge, but it’s overall a more solid/durable blade than I first felt it would be!

The blade offers pinpoint accuracy. It generates a lower arc compared to my previous slower and more flexible wood blades. The flared handle is excellent and provides a comfortable grip. My club’s coach was impressed with the blade.

The blade is slightly larger than average, measuring approximately 152×160mm. I have equipped it with Adidas TenZone Ultra (forehand) and P7 (backhand) rubbers. The total weight of the blade with rubbers is 87 grams.

This medium-hard blade offers exceptional control, providing a direct feel with a balance of speed that suits my gameplay. Its exceptional quality is evident, making it one of the finest blades I’ve experienced. I own two of these blades, and their consistency is remarkable, both delivering an identical playing experience. I extend my gratitude to DHS for creating this outstanding product.

To rate this amazing racket, I used the MEO that I have, and its rating on this database. It is a little slower than MEO, but it has a lot more control, and much more spin. The ball gets more spin easily, the sound is awesome, and the wood feeling is less sensitive than the MEO (which I like, because MEO is too much sensitive for me).
