DHS Hurricane King

The DHS Hurricane King is a premier all-wood table tennis blade renowned for its balance of speed, control, and versatility. It features a 5-ply composition combining koto, spruce, and ayous woods, creating a unique performance profile that appeals to both offensive and all-round players. The blade’s stiff structure provides a solid foundation, while its hardness rating of 6.5 contributes to powerful strokes and an impressive feel during play.

Weighing in at approximately 85g with a thickness of around 5.5mm, the Hurricane King is on the heavier side, which helps players execute powerful loops and smashes. The added weight also contributes to its remarkable consistency, allowing users to generate significant spin while maintaining control over their shots. The blade’s flexibility rating hovers around 5.8, offering just enough give for those delicate touch shots and enhancing overall maneuverability without sacrificing speed.

While the Hurricane King is highly regarded, alternatives like the Avalox P500 offer similar features at a more accessible price point. For players who prefer different wood composites, blades such as the Nittaku Narucross or other DHS offerings could be explored. However, the Hurricane King holds a distinctive reputation among players, often cited as the best non-carbon blade by satisfied users. Its combination of speed, control, and weight balance makes it a favorite for offensive topspin players and those seeking an adaptable blade to enhance their game.
