This blade is the same as the Avalox P500, but for double the price.

I use this blade, which is very well-balanced, fast, and has excellent control. I use it with a Tenergy 05 and an Andro Hexer Grip SFX with maximum tackiness.

Very good all wood blade that you feel playing with. The handle is thinner than standard size, use grip tape for big hands. You can pair this with different rubbers that you wish to play with.

I have used this blade for about a month. DHS has rated this blade as OFF++, but I would rate it as -OFF to OFF. I use DHS TG 3 Neo rubber on the forehand (FH) and Xiom Vega Japan rubber on the backhand (BH). The blade has a unique feel, it feels hard, but if you use hard rubber like Chinese rubber, you will feel the power of the blade. The control is very good, and you can easily block your opponent’s spin. I think this blade would be suitable for an all-round play style.

Best all-wood blade I have ever played with. Fast with good weight balance and a fat handle. Perfect for Chinese loop drive players. Only the price is sky high.

WOW!!!

Very consistent. Not too fast but powerful. With Hexer on both sides, the angle is low but the ball is very heavy. Smashing is definitely easier.

The DHS Hurricane 301 is widely regarded as the best non-carbon blade produced by DHS to date. Its exceptional balance of speed, control, and feel makes it a formidable weapon in the hands of skilled players. While the blade may require some fine-tuning to fully unlock its potential, this minor adjustment is a worthwhile investment for those seeking a blade that delivers both power and precision.

One of the best blades for offensive topspin players! The blade is well-balanced, with a good combination of speed and control. It has a slightly stiffer feel than some other blades, which makes it ideal for players who like to hit the ball hard. The blade also has a good amount of dwell time, which allows players to generate a lot of spin on their shots.

Overall, this is an excellent blade for offensive players who are looking for a good combination of speed, control, and spin. It is a bit stiffer than some other blades, so it may not be ideal for players who prefer a softer feel.

The penhold version of HK is very consistent. I’m a penholder and I find this blade my ultimate weapon in terms of speed and control.

I used Nittaku Narucross EX Hard FH and Nittaku Narucross Soft BH. These are good rubbers for the HK blade, but it depends on the user. It’s a suitable combination for me.

The Hurricane King CS blade is the best!

This is a very good blade. I am using a Hurricane 2 on both sides, and it is great for blocking and chopping. I rate it 10/10.

I think this blade looks favorable for offensive gameplay while remaining easy to control. You should enjoy playing with it. I certainly do; I use it with BTY TGY25 FH and Yasaka Pryde BH.

I like this blade. It is a fast blade with a high feeling.

#13 — December 2009

I love this blade! It provides so much control and always seems to loop perfectly. This blade is great for players who want to combine offense and control. It can also produce a lot of speed when needed. It also chops very well for defensive battles.

The blade is very thin, measuring around 5.5mm. DHS has successfully crafted a thin blade that provides a whipping effect while preserving the familiar OC feel.

However, the blade is quite heavy, typically weighing in the low 90s. Additionally, it appears that the quality of wood used in the newer batch is slightly lower, as evidenced by the three blades I have examined.
