All-wood
A very good blade for beginners and amateurs. You can really feel the ball on this blade. The dwell time is awesome and good for developing strokes. Speed is not really the main point of the blade, which is suited more for loopers. Control is really good on this blade.
Very good blade for players of any level and of different styles. It goes well with almost all rubbers, has great control, great touch, but has enough power to attack. All these qualities come at a very low price.
This blade is overrated. The blade has a lot of vibrations. The blade has very poor feeling, and the speed is lower than 8
This is a flexible 7-ply blade with medium hardness. It is a more flexible clipper wood. The outer ply is limba (unlike the PG2 and PG3, which are koto). It is not as hard as koto. This blade is a bit slow. I suggest you get the PG5-X instead. It is a much better and more modern blade, with the same feel as the PG7 (some flex, limba outer) but faster.
He has good precision on every hit and enough speed to win the point. It has pressed limba as out ply and produces a good effect. If you use Chinese rubbers like Hurricane, you need an oil booster.
The handle does not give much feeling when hitting the ball.
The throw angle is medium high.
The blade feels faster than its ratings suggest. It produces a high throw from mid-distance loops, but performs better from very close to the table. The feel was a little unusual for me, as I am accustomed to carbon-fiber blades.
Currently using PG7 with Yinhe MStar on FH and Gewo Hyper XT Pro 50 on BH. This blade is awesome. It is head heavy for sure, but not so stiff. The dwell is good. Just to mention, I use a 50-degree sponge on backhand and it is a charm, a powerful charm. It could be paired with everything. Every shot is easy to play. It is a powerful 7 plies, really different from 5 plies. With more power and less dwell, it’s a good in-between option instead of buying an uncontrollable carbon pricey blade. Nice quality. Have fun! I will never buy something else before reaching the 1800 level.
Update: Now playing PG7 with Skyline 3 neo on FH and Donic Bluefire M2 2.0 mm on BH. And… let me say… I found my setup for the next 20 years. I have tried a lot of blades… Clipper, 5 plies in many brands like Xiom, Gewo, Yinhe, Donic… as well as some carbon blades too… Nothing is better than a 7 plies feeling and power.
2020 Update: Changed rubbers for DHS Neo Hurricane 2 on FH and Donic Bluefire M2 max thickness on BH. Simply Wow! Despite the small sweet spot, seriously, for 30 USD$… You can’t get better. I would prefer my Bluefire to be 2.0 mm because I would feel the wood better. Control would also be better. Unboosted H2 gives me enough power: my loops have tons of spin. I was looking for DHS H301 for more power, but I prefer sticking with my all-wood 7 plies. Spending more money will not bring opponents to my basement this year, thanks to Covid, that cool dude! Hehe.
Excellent blade, but may be limiting for beginners. Very good for offensive players. Not recommended for those who prefer lightweight rackets. It has a nice finish and a comfortable grip. Paired with a Hurricane Neo3, it offers a good balance of speed and control, with a slight bias towards control.
Don’t trust the ratings for this blade. It’s too fast and uncontrollable, especially with tensor rubbers. It’s good for blocking and hitting flat but not much else.
The size of its head is a bit larger than the average blade, but the sweet spot is small. It’s very hard, almost no vibration. Its stiffness doesn’t allow you to feel the ball. The flared handle is very thin.
I cannot suggest it to anyone who wants to learn how to play properly. I was surprised to see this blade in the list of most popular blades on this site, but I think it is because it is one of the cheapest blades out there.
If you want to pay less than £20, I would suggest the Sanwei Fextra 7. It’s slower but has much higher control, feeling, and quality.
Used with DHS H3 41deg/2.2 for forehand and Yinhe Moon 1.8 soft for backhand. Here are my initial impressions:
Very Good Blade.
Thanks to DHS for this good blade at a very affordable price.
Beginner player here. I’ve been using this blade for about a month. I find its characteristics to be quite average, but great for its low price point. I use it with Yasaka Mark V on BH and Double Fish Vortex FC218 on FH. It has a decent feel, but with slightly noisy vibration. The sweet spot is quite small, and the FL handle is small even for my Chinese hand. I have used Stiga FL and Anatomic, and they fit my hand perfectly. Power-wise, I think it’s an OFF- on slower rubber. It has good gears. I can place short pushes with control, and mid-range loops have a medium arc with good control. Mine was 88g and has good build quality. Some parts need extra sanding, but this is no biggie for me. This is a good all-round blade, but its staggering value for money at this price point.
Works very well with in-house designed rubbers. One of the best price-to-ratio off-blades you can get.
A very good blade for the price, although the handle is a little thin.
I’d like to hear your opinion on this blade with H3 on FH and Xiom Vega Pro on BH 2mm.
Before using the PG7, I used a 5-ply all wood premade racket by Friendship729. The PG7 is noticeably stiffer and harder than my previous blade. It is also thicker, so it felt a little bit harder to loop with, but blocking was wonderful close to the table. In my opinion, the PG7 is OFF-, definitely faster than 5 ply all wood blades. However, the PG7 is slow when compared to composite blades.
I don’t know what people see in this blade. First of all, the quality of this blade is very poor. If you compare it to a slightly more expensive Donic blade or Yasaka, you’ll notice a significant difference. I managed to break it in half without much effort at all.
Someone mentioned it’s fast for intermediate players but with little control. The sweet spot is small, like a peanut. The blade is good for chopping and blocking, but that’s about it. I recommend buying a more flexible blade. The FL handle is too small for adults.
This blade earns my vote as the best in the world for under $35. It’s a 7-ply wood blade with Limba/Ayous/Ayous construction. My blade weighs 87g and is 6.3mm thick.
With the new ball, the blade offers excellent feel and control with an Off- speed rating. Its build quality is impressive for the price, and it feels well-balanced in the hand. Compared to the $200 DHS Ma Long 3 blade, this blade has a similar construction but with lower quality control and a smaller sweet spot. The speed is slightly slower, but I find that this blade offers better control.
This blade strikes a great balance, providing enough flex for exceptional looping and counter-looping, while maintaining sufficient stiffness for precise directional control, hitting, and blocking.
The price-to-performance ratio of this blade is remarkable. If you or someone you know is on a tight budget but desires a high-quality blade with excellent performance, this comes highly recommended.
Initial blade! The first blade I have ever bought, and I must say, it is a great one. It has a good feel in the hand, and the weight is perfect. The blade is also very well-balanced, which makes it easy to control. I have been playing with it for a few weeks now, and I have been very impressed with its performance. It is a great all-around blade that is suitable for both beginners and experienced players.
The blade is made of a high-quality wood that is both durable and lightweight. It has a 5-ply construction, which gives it a good balance of power and control. The blade also has a flared handle, which makes it comfortable to hold.
Overall, I am very happy with this blade. It is a great all-around blade that is suitable for players of all levels. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality blade.
This table tennis blade weighs 89g and is 6.1mm in thickness. It has a head heavy balance and a small flare handle. The blade exhibits some flex. It is particularly well-suited for looping shots with heavy spin. Considering its performance, it is reasonably priced.
I had used Stiga Clipper Shakehand before, TIBHAR H-1-9 10mm single Hinoki JPEN, Avalox P 900 shakehand, and I feel this DHS PG7 is the best so far. I had tremendous improvement in my looping techniques.
Value for money: I believe it’s a good blade that you can use throughout your career from the start to a high level. Start with basic Mark V rubbers and upgrade to tensor rubbers, Tenergy, or Hurricane as your game improves.
It’s a fast blade but has the right amount of flex so you can feel the ball. I would prefer it to be five-ply for more flex, but it’s still very good. Many people want blades with a higher budget, but why bother when there’s a lower price tag? In the end, it’s an all-wood blade made from the same kind of wood as many other expensive all-wood Butterfly blades.
Limba and Ayous are the best in my opinion. I think higher-level players would have used it if it was more expensive. Unfortunately, many developing players want to buy carbon blades. I’m a fan of five-ply blades, but this is pretty good.
The DHS Power G7 is evidently slower than the Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition, despite sharing the same ply construction. I would classify it as an OFF- blade. Furthermore, it is more flexible, offering a slightly longer dwell time and producing more vibrations upon ball impact. FH and BH drives are enjoyable to play, controllable, and moderately fast. Subjectively, the PG7 feels a bit softer and bouncier than the Samsonov Force Pro for these shots. Consequently, I experienced slightly better control on slower and spinnier FH loops, although my loop drives occasionally overshot.
The throw angle with the Power G7 is marginally higher than with the Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition, which I would categorize as medium to slightly above average.
Great all-wood blade, especially considering its price. It is very affordable for a product of such good quality. I used to play with a Donic Black Devil, but I struggled with its average control and lack of dwell time. It was difficult to create good spin, even with soft rubbers.
When I switched to the PG7, my game improved significantly, by about 15%. This blade gave me much more control, making blocking easier. It also has very good speed. As a shakehand player, I find the weight of the PG7 to be not too heavy but not too light either, at about 85g.
I use a Xiom Omega Euro 2.0mm rubber on my forehand and a Yasaka Mark V HPS 1.9mm rubber on my backhand. This combination works perfectly for me and is the best I have tried.
A step up from the N-9 for me, this is a very good blade. When playing OX, I could chop to the baseline, which I could not do with the much slower Palio Cat, so it has good control. My dad plays it OX Jpen with a long orthodox handle and it gives him a better feel than his Jpen blade.
With fast rubbers, it gives more speed and spin than my team mates T-11+. If you do looping and counter looping mid distance, you will love this blade. The pg7 can be a bit fast when over the table; if you do not use a full stroke, overthrowing the table is a threat. I now play 729/ v6 with fast rubbers. The pg7 gets my recommendation for an all-round attacking game.
Excellent quality and finish on this blade. The FL handle I found slightly small. When I first played it with Palio CJ8000 38 on FH and BH, I found it very easy to manage offensive and defensive shots.
I then “moved up” to H3 on FH and BH and absolutely enjoyed the vast increase in speed. I also noticed a newfound excellent synergy between the blade and rubber, which led to positive outcomes in my offensive shots.
The blade has terrific balance and good dwell for loops. When you drive the ball hard, it demonstrates that it has power reserves. Overall, it’s an excellent all wood blade!
7-Ply Wood
Limba-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-limba. Weight: 94 grams. My setup: PG7+ FH Mark V + BH Mark V. This blade is an excellent looper, as expected from its limba-ayous structure.
Pushing
Excellent. Easy to control.
Speed
This is an off-blade. The rating of 9.0 is too high; it is fast but not comparable to carbon blades.
Flexibility
It is flexible, although not as much as N10. Topspin to topspin loops are excellent. Looping backspin is extremely easy, easier than PG9 but not as simple as N10.
Blocking, Driving, Smashing
It excels in these areas but not as well as PG9.
Overall
This is an excellent blade. I recommend it to anyone who wants an off-looping blade.
Great pace and control. I find the blocking to be above average with this blade. This is without question the best value blade out there.
The quality, construction, and durability are great. It is stiff and plays like a stiff blade, so keep that in mind. Driving and looping are above average with this blade.
A very good blade indeed. I would recommend it to players who like to loop and generate tons of spin on the ball rather than straight smashers. If you are a smasher, get a carbon blade. To get the most out of this bat, use harder rubbers for speed, as the control is already excellent.
The choice blade of an intergalactic champion, said to be a magical and legendary weapon. If you use this, you will evolve into a world-class competitive and highly skilled individual. Worthy of being called “the sword of the Champion”. Even Ma Long cannot control this blade. Pair this with Joola Rhyzm and DHS Hurricane 3 and this will become a real sword that cuts the ball apart. Any attack released with this combination of blade and rubber will be unblockable even by Jan Ove Waldner.
Feels the same with Hrt Clipper, but with a better higher arc when looping.
I paired it with Nitaku H3neo FH first, but it was too slow. I tried it with some other rubber, but finally, I preferred to pair it with Donic Baraccuda 4 FH and Donic Acuda S2 4 BH.
Using Yinhe Saturn Pro plays well too.
Very spin-oriented blade, wood layers are relatively not soft but not as hard as carbon. Good blade for the price. I got mine for around 25 dollars (give or take $5). I use this with Nittaku Fast-Arc S-1 BH and Hurricane 3 Neo boosted on FH. Boosting helped out the rubber a lot (2-3 layers). Softens the sponge and rubber for more spin and combines with this blade, it makes a powerful spin machine. Don’t hit flat as this will go outside the table. You need to have a good brush technique and grip on the paddle; otherwise, the ball will go flat on the net or go outside. FLICKS are AMAZING! It’s like it juts catapults off your racket with super speed, like nothing I’ve experienced before! Overall, a good but cheap blade. The blade may need sanding, and wood splinters easily. This blade isn’t anything like top blades like Ma Long 5, Hurricane King 2 or the Innerforce series from Butterfly.
Power of this blade only becomes apparent when you start hitting hard, especially a bit back from the table. I paired it with Acuda P2 and Neo 3 (Hurricane). It provides great power and spin, making it ideal for looping and counter-looping from mid-distance, especially with Two Hurricane Neo 3s. It takes a few sessions to get used to, as is the case with all blades and equipment. Pushes close to the table are now more accurate and faster, which I appreciate. When looping, I can feel that this blade holds the ball and releases it with force. The feedback is good, with a little less vibration than the T 11 (Yinhe/Galaxy).
Personal Experience of Use:
1. Excellent control: The blade provides precise handling, allowing for accurate shot placement.
2. Preference for hard rubber: Soft rubber pairings require more forceful swings to generate sufficient speed for smashes and loops.
3. Vibration: The blade exhibits some vibration, which may be noticeable to some players.
Bought a slightly used ST handle copy from a club member. Thickness measured to be 6.2mm; it weighs 90.4g/90.7g varnished. Even though it’s 7-ply construction, there is a little more flexibility than expected; because of that, it generates a good amount of spin when brushing and looping.
But when you smash the ball, the trajectory tends to go higher than carbon blades so you need to adjust to that. I experienced different rubbers on it and found out that I like it best with softer, grippy & fast rubber like Friendship Aurora or Mark V HPS.
I like the dwell and the feel when hitting; it also produces a high-pitch sound. The ST handle is a little short, but it does not get in the way in the backhand like some FL handles do and it grows on me.
I have Aurora in FH and Desto F3 (only 35g) in BH. I also own other all wood blades like Tibhar Powerwood and Yinhe N9, but PG-7 is better than these other wood blades in every category.
If you like wood blades, you should definitely try the PG-7. It’s one of the best offensive blades under $25.
Here is my rating for the PG-7:
Speed = 9.1, control = 9, spin = 9, blocking = 9, stiffness = 5, hardness = 6, throw = med+, consistency = 8.5 (flexible), feel = 9, overall = 9.3.
This is a great blade. I’ve been using it for quite a while now and have been enjoying it so far. It offers great speed, but you need to put in the effort on your shots. You have to commit to the strokes. This blade is not for the lazy; you have to give at least 98% of the strokes to achieve its speed and power.
The control is so good on this blade that you can definitely put the ball where you want it on the table, but of course, you still need a good stroke on this. It’s a very reliable blade in terms of speed and control, but it really requires commitment and effort on all the shots.
The only downsides to this blade are that it vibrates a lot and has a somewhat small sweet spot. If you can handle the vibration of this blade, you will enjoy playing with it for sure. Hope this helped. Have fun and God bless!
Amazing touch, feels and holds the ball even for the deepest angles. Yasaka Rising dragon did not work too well on the forehand, but Tibhar Evolution MX-P, Andro Rasant Grip, Adidas P7 and other EUROPEAN ones did - they get in symbioses after the first stroke. Hybrids are just strange on it, but whatever. Not bad, but nowhere near to their full capacity, as on an Innerforce ZLC, or even on a Nittaku Acoustic.
Great blade for looping. Compared to the Galaxy T-11+, it’s not quite as fast or accurate, but it’s a very good all-around blade.
I’ve been using this blade for a year now, and I fall in love with it every day. It’s the best blade I’ve ever used. It’s cheap, yet it’s an amazing blade. It produces very firm hits and has a nice sound. It’s like a cheaper version of Ma Long’s blade, but it has the same quality.
Great 7-ply wood blade that offers a balance of speed and control (I would categorize it as OFF-). This blade excels in looping, particularly close to the table, where it performs exceptionally well. However, it may be challenging to block with speed, and the sweet spot is relatively small. Nonetheless, for an all-around offensive playstyle, this blade is a clear winner.
The reviews are accurate in their assessment. Pairing this blade with Neo H3 on the forehand creates a fantastic combination for controlled, spinny short play and effective close-to-table looping.
Very good blade, with good speed and control. FH is rated 9 and BH is rated 7. It is very spinny.
The blade is a good blade with a good price. It is a good blade for beginners and intermediate players. The blade is well-made and has a good feel in the hand. It is also very durable and can withstand a lot of play.
The blade is made of high-quality materials and is very well-constructed. The wood is strong and durable, and the blade is well-balanced. The handle is also very comfortable to hold, and the blade is easy to control.
Overall, the blade is a good blade that is well worth the price.
This is the BEST blade in the $20-$30 range… if you have a friend interested in TT but not sure if they’re going to commit, this is the one. It’s a decently fast blade (OFF) with good control.
My latest blade with DHS Hurricane as FH and Xiom Omega V Euro as BH. When I changed FH rubber from other blades to this, I felt I changed the rubber as well. The rubber performance also increased.
The blade is fast and control is good. I am also happy with BH rubber on this blade.
Anyway, the combo is new for me and I’m still getting used to it. For now, I strongly suggest this blade considering the quality and price.
I was playing with this blade yesterday. Before, I used the Cornilleau Hinotec OFF+, which is constructed with carbon. PG7 outperformed it significantly! It was notably faster with enhanced control. After practicing for about 30 minutes, I switched to the Cornilleau, and it felt awful. I’m puzzled as to how I was able to play with the Cornilleau before experiencing the PG7, which is a much superior blade, and I highly recommend it.
The blade is very well made and has a great feel in the hand. It is also very light, which makes it easy to maneuver. The blade has a good balance between speed and control, and it is also very durable. I have been using this blade for several months now, and I have not had any problems with it. The blade has helped me to improve my game, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-quality blade.
The blade is made of high-quality materials, and it is very well constructed. The blade is also very durable, and it can withstand a lot of abuse. I have been using this blade for several months now, and it has not shown any signs of wear or tear.
The blade has a good balance between speed and control. This makes it a good choice for players of all levels. The blade is also very easy to maneuver, which makes it a good choice for players who are new to the game.
The blade provides a good amount of feedback, which helps players to improve their technique. The blade also has a good amount of power, which makes it a good choice for players who are looking to hit the ball hard.
Overall, this is a great blade for players of all levels. It is well made, durable, and easy to maneuver. The blade also provides a good amount of feedback and power. I would highly recommend this blade to anyone who is looking for a high-quality blade.
I have owned this blade for 2 months and I have been very pleased with it because it did everything I wanted it to. One day I was playing at my club and the bat fell off the table and hit the floor. Then I started another game and halfway through it the handle came off the head. This just shows that it is cheap because it is made badly.
Overall verdict: Good bat made badly. So I would not recommend this product unless you want to be left disappointed with the build quality.
The blade is constructed with 7 layers of wood, arranged in the following sequence: limba-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-ayous-limba. It weighs 91 grams and has a thickness of 6.1 millimeters.
In terms of playability, the blade exhibits characteristics similar to the Clipper. It offers a well-rounded performance, with no significant weaknesses. The blade excels in generating high throw angles, making it suitable for players who prefer high-arc looping techniques. However, it is important to note that the high throw angle can occasionally lead to overthrows. While the blade performs adequately in blocking, it does not particularly stand out in this aspect. It provides excellent spin and generates good power from mid-distance.
The blade’s speed is classified as “off-,” making it fast but not overly so. It is recommended for players who prioritize spin over straight power shots and smashes. The straight handle can initially feel short, but players can adjust to it over time. Overall, this blade offers great value for money and is an excellent choice for spin-oriented attackers.
This blade offers exceptional value for its price range. It gained recognition when Ma Long utilized it in the 2012 Olympics. It’s worth noting, however, that the blade’s weight can be a minor inconvenience. This is particularly noticeable if heavier rubbers are attached, as the majority of the weight originates from the rubbers, resulting in a top-heavy feel. Despite this minor issue, it remains an outstanding blade.
Great blade for the money, really worth it! Nice quality design and performance. I think it’s the best quality-price ratio out there.
This is a powerhouse blade, full of control and spin, very fast with an extra high throw. The PG7 is a monster away from the table, with crazy loops that travel like a rocket and land with precision. However, it is not recommended for beginners.
One thing I dislike is the sound of the blade. It is pretty sharp and solid, which may be due to the Baloonet technology or simply personal preference.
Overall, the PG7 is too good not to use if you are an attacker.
I got an ST handle, resulting in very good speed with much spin. As known, [this is] a good all wood loopers blade with huge dwell time. Topspins dip into the opponent’s side.
Cons: The head size is a little bit small to me.
Overall, [this is] a great blade from DHS with a great price.
My review: http://www.pingpong.com.pl/for/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=37075&sid=14a523d5f5dd80e310996e74f4dec174
I recently acquired a new table tennis blade, and I’m absolutely delighted with it. It’s an excellent choice for looping and counter-looping, especially at mid-distance. I’m currently using it with two Hurricane Neo 3 rubbers, and the resulting spin and loop angles are simply devastating. After a month of use, I’ve become accustomed to the blade, but I believe the Hurricane 3 on my backhand is holding me back. I’m considering switching to an Acuda S2 or a Barracuda for that side. What do you recommend?
Upon adding the Bluefire M1 and Acuda S2 to my blade setup, I can confidently say that this blade is truly remarkable. It’s incredibly fast when needed, yet controllable when precision is required. However, it’s important to note that the blade is somewhat fragile. Despite this, it’s still an exceptional value for its price.
I recently acquired a second blade in the FL version. I equipped it with the same rubbers as my first blade (Bluefire M1 forehand and Acuda S2 backhand). While the overall feel is slightly different, I find it to be an improvement. The handle color is different, the blade is slightly slower, but it offers enhanced control. My backhand play has improved, as the handle design facilitates backhand looping. My forehand shots are also more controlled near the table. I’m very impressed with this blade. However, it’s important to note that the bat shape is slightly larger than my ST PG7 and it’s lighter. For my play style (close-mid range looping with heavy spin), I consider this to be an improved version of my previous blade.
This is an excellent looping blade. It’s stiff and lacks vibrations, yet looping is very easy to perform (optimal at mid distances). I use it with tacky rubbers, which provides control during short games despite its high speed.
Overall, it’s an exceptional mid-distance looping blade. The only drawback I’ve noticed is its high speed during close-to-the-table pushes. Despite this, I’m keeping it due to its excellent touch, control, and looping ability. I rate it 9/10.
EDIT 07/2012: After using this blade for an extended period, I’ve found the combination of T05 and Palio Blitz glued to it to be highly effective. Initially, it felt very fast, but overall, it’s an excellent blade. It excels at mid-distance looping and comes highly recommended.
This blade is the best blade around, except that it breaks very easily and the wood is not so firm that it is easily damaged. It is such a pity for such a good blade.
I’ve owned two of these blades, with FL and ST handles, respectively. The experiences have been mixed:
The FL handle was sold due to its narrowness, which was uncomfortable for my large hands. However, its crisp hits and decent control were impressive, comparable to blades several times more expensive. Despite its slightly excessive speed, I decided to try the ST handle with slower rubber.
The ST handle was a significant improvement. Its size was perfect for my hands, and it performed well. However, a major QC issue emerged: the reversed plies on one side of the blade created asymmetry. Additionally, within two weeks of use, the top ply on that side began to separate, possibly due to poor gluing. This issue has been reported by others using the same blade.
Regarding speed, the PG7’s advertised OFF++ rating is misleading. In direct comparison with several other blades, it performed significantly slower than blades rated OFF+ and closer to those rated OFF.
In conclusion, while a well-made PG7 blade is an excellent value for its price, the potential for QC issues and premature damage is significant. Personally, I’m opting for a more reliable racket to avoid the uncertainty and hassle.
What blackdog said above is very true.
I too own two of these blades, both flared. The first one was perfect, exactly as the ratings described it. It had the right thickness, weight, and everything else.
However, I dented my first blade on a table and ordered another one, expecting it to be just as perfect. I was wrong. It was much lighter, thinner, slower, and overall felt cheaper. The build quality was not up to scratch. The top ply of wood was not smooth at all, and it had small splinters/fibers poking out. (My worst nightmare!)
So, quality control is a big issue for this blade. Some may get the perfect one while others get the inconsistent ones. But for the price, you get what you pay for.
This is a great blade for the price. It’s one of the best bats on the market, and it’s available at a very reasonable cost. I’ve been playing with it for a few weeks now, and I’m very impressed with its performance. It has a good balance of power and control, and it’s very responsive. I’ve been able to hit some great shots with it, and I’ve even won a few tournaments.
I’m not sure why someone would rate this bat so low. It’s a great value for the money, and it performs very well. If you’re looking for a new table tennis bat, I highly recommend this one.
This blade offers improved flexibility for looping, while retaining the power necessary for hits and smashes. The ST handle provides outstanding balance, eliminating any feeling of head-heaviness. When contacting the ball, the blade imparts a solid sensation with exceptional ball feedback.
The Mark V and Mark V HPS rubbers complement this blade, creating an ideal combination for a balanced game with ample power. Notably, the squared ST handle resembles the TBS grip, ensuring exceptional comfort.
Like the other reviews, this is a great blade for an unbelievable price. I’m considering ordering another one as a backup. It has a wonderfully comfortable flared handle.
I have Donic Baracuda 2.0 red on the forehand and CCT POGO National 0.6mm black on the backhand.
It has a great feel. My serves feel better, more consistent, shorter, and more spinny. Loops feel more consistent and spinny as well.
It doesn’t have quite as great a feel as my BTY Moonbeam Arylate blade, but it isn’t far from it. I actually like the more wood feel of the blade. I can feel the ball on the blade, and it has a nice dwell time. I can hit very consistently with my long pips. I think my rating is about to improve.
I would definitely suggest trying this blade, especially for the price.
*UPDATE: After more practice, I’m really liking the feel of this blade… especially counter looping from about mid-distance. I’m giving people a lot of trouble with the long pips on the backhand too. I love it! I just ordered a second one so I will have a spare for robot training during the week.
Cheaper, very nice quality, fast and controllable. Why buy Butterfly-ultra-priced products when you can find a good blade like that?
I got mine for 26 bucks on eacheng. A very good offensive blade that performs well in all areas. Recommended. ()
After doing a lot of research on affordable blades, I bought this blade in the C-pen version two months ago, and I am very happy with it.
This blade is pretty fast and has good control at the same time. I strongly recommend this blade if you are looking for an affordable blade that offers speed and control.
Plenty of possibilities for an all-rounded aggressive table tennis performer. Wonderful overall filling due to a perfectly balanced blade. The FL handle is awesome. The price for such a blade is unbelievably minor ($30 with shipping). You can do everything with it (chop, drive, spin).
I play with Xiom Sigma Europe on forehand and Friendship Legend 105 on backhand. A perfect combination, and the weight of the paddle is 166 g! The blade itself weighs 92 g. All in all, it’s a must-have blade.
Good quality, fast, and controllable blade. And don’t forget the price: I paid 28 bucks on eBay.
It’s certainly an off+ blade. I put a Vega Pro on both sides, and it worked very well.
It’s a fairly stiff, fast, wood blade with rather small vibrations for a wood blade this thin. The stiffness and lack of vibrations lends to a “light” feel when looping, kind of like composite blades. Personally, I prefer the flexy feel, or else I’d be using composite blades.
After 2 months of playing with this wonderful blade, I can confidently say that it is one of the best I’ve ever used. It has a very high catapult effect, giving the ball a comfortable and controllable feel with excellent acceleration and speed. Despite weighing 90g, the blade feels surprisingly light when hitting the ball, akin to an All+/Off- blade that would normally feel much heavier for the same level of speed (like the PG7). Topspins or loopings are incredibly powerful and speedy, but they rely heavily on proper footwork for optimal control. At a price point of 25, this blade offers exceptional value for its impressive construction and craftsmanship.
For its price, this blade offers a great value. It’s comparable to more expensive offensive-type blades. If necessary, make minor adjustments to the wording.
Wow, excellent quality, looks very good as well.
Fabulous! Easy to direct the ball wherever you want it to go, without losing speed or power, which will help improve your game quickly.
More than I expected from a $30 wood blade. Everything is better than other blades with a more expensive price tag. It may not be the fastest blade, but it’s fast enough for an attacker while still having enjoyable control.
For two months, I have been playing this blade with Tenergy 05 on the forehand and 729 Faster 3 on the backhand. Now, I have better performance in play. Last six months, I was ranked #5 in my club. Now, I am #1. Thanks to DHS!
Good in every aspect, well-balanced. Very good in price, of course.
Review**
This remarkable blade offers exceptional value for its price. Its outstanding spin capabilities, coupled with an incredible feel, make it a joy to handle. The speed is comparable to the renowned Black Devil, with the added advantage of providing ample dwell time. This enables better control for blocking and overall gameplay. If anything goes amiss during your performance, it’s not the fault of the blade.
Not the fastest and not the most controlled, but it is the most balanced blade. Easy to play, with tensor speed and spinny rubbers, it is a wonderful attacking blade.
Judging by the reviews, I decided to purchase one from a store. Sensationally, this very cheap blade offers great quality, making it an enjoyable blade to play with. As an all-around player, I have opted to use a 729 Japanese sponge with it.
I’m afraid the price will increase because many people would change their blade to this one. Yesterday I bought it for $35. But no problem, now I have the great blade. As for rubbers, I still believe in MarkV hps.
I just ordered one but haven’t received it yet. But judging by the reviews, I’m going to get another one!!! HAHAHA!!!
At first, I doubted that this blade could have the quality described in the product description on this site. Nevertheless, I decided to purchase it along with a Yasaka Rakza 7 rubber, which I usually play with. The results were astonishing. Despite being a relatively inexpensive blade, it performed like an expensive one in terms of both speed and control. Since then, I have been using this equipment as my primary setup. A big thanks to DHS for this fantastic product!
Great price, nice quality. It’s just like a professional offensive expensive blade. Bravo DHS!
This blade is truly amazing! It offers exceptional control and feel, making it a great choice for players who prioritize precision and consistency. The blade’s construction provides a solid foundation for precise shot placement, allowing you to execute delicate strokes with ease.
With this blade and FocusIII SNIPE on both sides, I can make consistent, continuous, strong power loops with huge amounts of spin. My serves are very spinny and tricky. For speed, of course, this is average, depending on your power and skill. For me, it’s 9/10 for overall.
This table tennis blade is suitable for all types of players. By combining it with your preferred rubbers, you can enhance your gameplay experience. As an offensive player, I’ve found success using Sriver FX on both the forehand and backhand.
Very nice blade! This blade offers an awesome balance of speed and control, making it very easy to play even with high-speed and high-spin rubbers. Recommended rubber pairings include Tibhar Energy 05 or Mark V HPS. Try this blade, and you’ll never regret it! It could be the best equipment you have ever owned!
Damn, this is the one. Finally, a blade that’s good for touch and explosive on forehand rips.
The sound is incredible at top gear, like a whipping sound. Away from the table good, close to the table good, feeling good, what more do you need? Oh, and the handle is the best I’ve ever tried.
Very nice blade for the powerful offensive player who wanted the blast of power and a controllable one. It will be a lethal weapon if you combine it with T energy series rubbers. I’m using T energy 64 on both sides, what a heavy weapon!
Perfect combination with high-speed and tensor rubber, makes every punch a monster of spin and power without losing control. I stick it with T Energy 05 on FH and BH, and it’s very amazing for me!
The identical feel and sensation with the other handle (ST), only this is FL style.
The hot gossip: Ma Long currently used this blade, replacing his Timo Boll Spirit FL.
No matter the gossip is true or false…however, this is one of the great blades with a very nice price for its quality. I love it!.
It’s an easy-to-play blade with a great combination of speed, control, and touch feel. It’s very good for near to middle distance from the table. It generates more spinny punch than any other blade I have ever used. A very nice combination with medium soft sponge rubber, it makes it the perfect balance in offensive and defensive plays. I’m using this blade with Stiga Boost TX on both sides forehand and backhand (Butterfly water check). It’s perfect!
Stiff. Fast. Suitable for medium and far from table.
The table tennis blade has good control, which makes it easy to handle the ball and place it precisely. It is also fast enough for near-table play, allowing for quick reactions and aggressive shots. The blade is well-suited for looping, as it provides a nice feeling and helps to generate spin. Overall, the blade offers a good balance of control, speed, and feel, making it a versatile option for players of various skill levels.
The blade is made of 7-ply wood with a koto surface.
A tree control, great feel and touch… Slightly slow. Moia taste requires quick movements and tires… I’m pretty sure that Ma Long plays with the same tree, good for close to table play and the middle and on long-haul. Super for the money, we paid $26 for it and kept getting better. From the very first time, I almost all of its direct competitors, playing with a T 05 of FH and vega pro ksiom a BO problem and only weight 190 g.
I recently upgraded from the Yinhe W-6 all-round blade to this blade. It provides good power but at the cost of reduced dwell time, a higher throw angle, and a smaller sweet spot. The handle is also relatively thin, as others have noted. Some shots performed well, but this blade is less forgiving than the Yinhe W-6. After using it for a month, I decided to switch back to my previous setup. I had purchased this blade based on its popularity, but it didn’t align well with my playing style. I had paired it with DHS Hurricane Neo 3 on the forehand and Mark V on the backhand.
Update: I started playing slightly further from the table, and now this blade feels more comfortable. I may have been making the beginner’s mistake of playing too close to the table, which is why the Yinhe W-6 seemed more suitable. The PG7 does have a good feel but isn’t ideal for smashes.
In summary, if someone prefers playing close to the table or emphasizes smashes/drives over topspin, this blade is not recommended. However, if someone plays at a mid-distance and prefers a topspin and spin-oriented playstyle, this blade could be well-suited.
Update (27-08-23): I had the setup assembled through a website, but they failed to lacquer/seal the blade. While attempting to change the rubber, a layer peeled off due to the rough surface. This blade needs to be lacquered. I have since changed to Nittaku Fast Arc G1 on the forehand and Mercury 2 Soft on the backhand. The initial impressions are positive, much better than the previous setup. I will update again after playing with it for a while.
I got this as my first upgrade up from a premade butterfly 5-ply. I’m using Hurricane 3 Neo 39 deg on FH and Palio AK47 Red on BH.
This OFF blade is made of 7 layers of wood. It has similar features to the Power-G 9 blade. This blade is designed for close to mid-distance play from the table.
