DHS Wind CW-C
Blade description:
This composite blade features a 5+2 construction and is characterized by a high degree of speed and stiffness. Designed for offensive play, it offers a solid, rigid feel that excels in powerful smashes, flat hits, and aggressive blocking. Due to its hard composition, it produces a distinct, resonant sound upon impact, often described as metallic or akin to hitting with bare wood.
Performance and Handling
- Speed and Power: The blade is consistently described as very fast, providing significant momentum for attacking strokes from both close to the table and mid-distance.
- Control and Feedback: Because of its extreme stiffness, ball feedback is minimal, which can make touch shots and heavy spin generation challenging for some users. The carbon layers effectively enlarge the sweet spot, providing consistency for power shots.
- Physical Properties: The blade is notably heavy, with several reports placing it at the higher end of the weight spectrum. Users suggest that this mass, combined with its rigidity, may lead to wrist fatigue during prolonged rallies or heavy usage.
- Equipment Pairing: Due to its hard, fast nature, it is often recommended to pair this blade with softer, grippy, or tacky rubbers (such as Hurricane series or tensor-style rubbers) to help balance the blade’s output and improve spin potential.
While its durability and build quality are frequently praised given its entry-level price point, the blade’s weight and high speed make it a polarizing choice, generally better suited for experienced attackers who prefer a stiff, powerful setup over a soft, dwell-oriented feel.

Tengo esta pala. La compré porque la marca DHS siempre me pareció que tiene productos de primera calidad, tanto en gomas como en pelotas y mesas. En este caso, estaba muy equivocado.
La paleta es extremadamente rígida y muy pesada. Es una paleta que, luego de armada, ronda los 220/230 gramos, una exageración. Me gustan las paletas pesadas, pero estos pesos exceden cualquier parámetro de lo normal.
En cuanto a la cuchilla, tiene buenas terminaciones. El mango es demasiado fino, no es cómodo y hace falta siempre un grip.
En cuanto a la velocidad, es muy rápida, pero el control es incontrolable, no tiene consistencia. El sonido de la madera es horrible, da la sensación de estar jugando con una madera sola sin gomas.
No recomiendo este producto ni para principiantes ni para avanzados. De las peores paletas que pude comprar. No solo lo digo yo, en mi club, el peso de la paleta y el sonido que tiene fue sinónimo de risas durante mucho tiempo. De lo peor que probé. NO RECOMIENDO. Directamente, la serie Wind no tiene buenas referencias en ningún foro.
Mi próxima paleta será la Nittaku Acoustic. Vale cuatro veces más, pero vale cada centavo.

This blade is very hard and fast. It is designed for players who want to hit the ball with a lot of power and speed. The blade is made of high-quality carbon fiber, which gives it a stiff feel and a lot of pop. The blade is also very well-balanced, which makes it easy to control.
Overall, this is a great blade for players who want to play an aggressive style of table tennis. It is very fast and powerful, but it is also well-balanced and easy to control.

Blade dengan kecepatan sangat baik, namun untuk menghasilkan spin memerlukan sudut yang tepat. Saat dipasangkan dengan Yinhe Mercury 2 ukuran 1,2 mm di backhand dan Yinhe 9000 V2 ukuran 1,5 mm di forehand, blade ini masih memiliki tenaga yang cukup untuk melakukan counter di dekat meja.
Titik terbaiknya adalah jika Anda bermain agak jauh dari meja, karena blade ini sangat andal untuk memberikan kekuatan. Sayangnya, blade ini cukup berat. Jika digunakan untuk rally, tangan Anda akan cepat terasa sakit. Namun, terlepas dari itu, saya menyukai nuansa yang diciptakan oleh blade ini.
