DHS Power-G PG5X

This composite blade features a 3+2 construction, utilizing an inner-layer ALC arrangement with Limba outer plies. It is designed with a blade thickness of 5.9 mm and typically weighs between 87 and 92 grams. The handle is notably slim and ergonomic, contributing to an overall build that balances a solid feel with sufficient flexibility during full-power swings.

Performance Characteristics

• Feel and Dwell: The blade is characterized by a “woody” feel, offering significant dwell time that facilitates spin-oriented play and high-quality service returns. It is softer and more flexible than many traditional outer-carbon blades, allowing the player to engage the core on aggressive strokes.
• Speed and Power: While it offers controlled play during short-game touches, the blade becomes dynamic and powerful when paired with a full swing. It is best suited for close-to-mid distance play, rewarding players who provide their own power, though it may be considered slightly slower than high-end all-out offensive blades.
• Spin and Versatility: The blade excels at looping, providing excellent spin generation, especially when paired with hard, tacky Chinese rubbers or firmer ESN/Japanese options. It is noted for its stability in blocking and versatility in flat-hitting, making it a well-rounded option for intermediate players developing their offensive game.
