DHS Power-G PG9
Blade description:
The DHS Power-G PG9 is a high-performance table tennis blade designed for advanced and offensive players looking to enhance their game. Its construction features a unique 7-ply wooden design, with an outer Koto layer that provides a perfect combination of speed and control. This blade is recognized for its remarkable speed rating of 9, making it exceedingly fast and perfect for aggressive gameplay. Weighing in at 89 grams and measuring 6.3 mm in thickness, the PG9 strikes a balance between lightness and a substantial feel, allowing for powerful strokes while maintaining excellent handling.
Flexibility is a key characteristic of the PG9, offering a moderate amount of flex that supports dynamic looping. This blend of speed and flexibility makes it an ideal choice for players who enjoy mixing power with controlled topspin. While it excels in offensive maneuvers like looping and smashing, it is particularly well-suited for mid-distance attacks, allowing players to maintain control during fast rallies and challenging spins. However, its high speed and low dwell time make it less suitable for all-around or beginner players, who may struggle with its aggressive response.
For those seeking alternatives, the DHS Power-G PG7 provides a slightly different experience, being faster but with reduced control. Players who prefer similar high-quality options could consider other popular blades in the market that feature carbon layers, but many find that the unique combination of speed and control in the PG9 stands out among its competitors. Overall, the DHS Power-G PG9 is a versatile and efficient blade ideal for serious offensive players who are proficient in utilizing its advanced features.

I ordered this one after playing for three years with different carbon blades, like 729 V-6, Yinhe MC-4, Yinhe Mercury Y-13, DHS Power G5 & G5X, Yinhe Venus V-14 PRO, and more. I was curious to try out a wooden blade. I started with a H3 41deg 2.2 mm (forehand) and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg (backhand). Both were boosted with Haifu sea moon booster. I had these rubbers on a DHS Power G5X, which felt good.
On the PG9, they were too fast for me, and I lacked the control I got from the PG5X. I changed rubbers to Big Dipper 39deg (Fh) and H2N 40deg 2.15mm (Bh) (both boosted). It felt so much nicer. Now, my brush loops work great, and at the same time, it’s easier to keep the balls short, and the services don’t bounce away. I took a BD 39deg and glued it onto a PG5X, but I could barely loop any under spin at all with that combination.
With PG9, it works like a charm. And I don’t feel any vibrations at all in this blade. It’s a fast blade with good control. I’ve only played about three weeks with this setup yet, so I might return with some more thoughts and information. Weight: 90g.

I have been using this blade for 3 months and it’s been great from day one. It has minimal vibrations and is extremely fast.

Ratings here are accurate in my opinion. The blade may be slightly too hard, fast, and stiff for my taste, but it still offers superb touch and predictability. It has a big sweetspot and great spin capability, with a slight flex to support looping. The control is very good for a blade this fast, and smashes are easy and lethal. The build quality is good, but the neck needs sanding.
