Customer review for DHS Hurricane 301 - Chinese Penhold

External Review for DHS Hurricane 301 on August 25, 2022

Mine came in 87 g. I also have Yinhe V14 Pro 92g (which is supposed to be identical to TB ALC) with Vega Pro (FH) and Yasaka Rakza 7 (BH) so there will be a little comparison between the two. I get better results with H301 because I have a lot more control over placement even though I have faster rubbers in max (Tenergy 05 FH and Tibhar MX-P BH). Overall setup is 30% slower but this is purely because of the blade differences. But I must say that I like playing with Yinhe V14 pro because it's faster and it brings more pleasure when I land a dangerous, spinny shot on the table that I'm not able to produce with H301. So it's harder to land a shot like topsin, but when it does, it's deadly. When it comes to H301 I would say it's the most controllable blade I've ever played with (I have played with Yinhe V14 Pro, TB ALC, Stuor Hurricane Long 5, Butterfly Innerforce ZLC, Yinhe W6 and Yinhe 980 - to me that blade had the least control of all, probably because of high flex). I can't say it's a slow blade but not super fast as V14. I would say it's OFF to OFF- while V14 is OFF+. H301 is very controllable when you need it e.g. in short game with pushes over the table but it can still pack a punch when you're far away from the table you just have to swing harder to active the ALC that is next to the core. I like pushing with H301 WAY more than with Yinhe V14 because the ball doesn't fly away off the table in any direction like a rocket. I like block with V14 just a tiny bit more. Loops are good with both blades, but with V14 I have to close racket's angle way more because of higher throw of that blade. Flat hits are better with V14. I had to seal H301. V14's handle way better because it's thicker (better for long fingers). H301's handle is pretty thin, hence head-heavy balance blade, which I don't really like but it can be solved with extra grip. Overall, I'm very satisfied with both blades, worth every penny.
