5.3 mm thin build on paper, mine could be ~5.5 mm.
Surprisingly high pitched sound when testing bounce on the bare wood, indicating a harder outer ply. I heard it is (UV?) dyed koto. Top ply fibers appear like this: II IIII, parallel and straight but not completely uniform. Yin-he blades, in my opinion, have more uniform cuts on the top ply. Does this affect the performance? Not at all for most players.
86 g weight. With H3 neo 37deg and AK47 yellow 42deg glued on, this setup weighs 182 g, making it comfortably light. The weight center is slightly higher on the blade face than other setups; some would call it “head heavy,” but I would say it’s “handle light.”
The Hurricane 3 on this blade bounces enough to allow passive shots. You might hear 2 different tones: the thud of the rubber and the tik of the blade. Small vibrations hit the sweet spot, and high vibrations hit the last 1/3 circle on the blade face. This might train your hand to consistently hit the center.
The handle is flared and thinner on the neck than yin-he blades. My hand is relatively small (20 cm long). On my hand, the PG2-L feels sitting on the index and thumb, with a loose grip on the last 3 fingers, and a grippy hold on the low palm at the handle end. I understand that the Chinese training school emphasizes pressure on the index and thumb and a relaxed hand. This blade would suit players looking to follow this approach and people with smaller hands in general.
Very underrated blade.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! THIS IS ALMOST A 1:1 CLONE OF DHS Hurricane King!!!
And who can make a better copy of a blade than the creator of the original? 5-ply. Koto, spruce, ayous, spruce, koto.
DHS delivers great quality blades and this is no exception. Feels superb in hand while playing, especially when doing all variations of banana flicks.
Pairs well with any Offensive or All-round rubbers. You just can’t go wrong with this all-wood blade. I must add that I have no idea about how well defensive rubbers pair up with this blade.
Bought this blade specifically to test and feel out all rubbers I get my hands on.
Mine was about 89g a bit less without rounding out and 6mm thick.
I give this blade 9/10 (8.8 should be perfect overall rating as DHS Hurricane King is rated at 9.1 on this site).
I wasn’t really impressed with this blade. The dwell time wasn’t great, and the hand feedback wasn’t very deep. In the end, I played with it for 4 months and then gave it to a friend who had broken his blade.
