External Review for DHS Hurricane Long 5 Golden on September 25, 2026

I bought this blade purely as a collector and then put Dignics 64/05 for FH/BH. Experimented with it to try something radicaleven for my club-level intermediate stature this was pure joy to hold, to lift backspin, to loop and to punch. The ball placement accuracy is unbelievable, even against heavy topspin, and the blocks are effortless. The problem I had (for my lesser physical agility at my 57 years age!) was short-game to fast rally switch as that requires you to master this blades gears range to use it effectively. Another disadvantage I felt was BH opening (despite the high arc D05) which lacked speed/power. For FH dominant players at mid-distance, this blade will be superlative. I - as a collector - have gone back to my trusted Viscaria :)

External Review for DHS Hurricane Long 5 Golden on January 6, 2026

Hard to put a number on speed, control etc... When I look at other blades like Viscaria with 8+ in control, I want to put this blade at 10. But when you compare it to an All or Def blade, you obviously have less control. So number means nothing.

To me, this blade is very good. I had no experience with the normal HL5 or 5x nor 968. I experienced Fang Bo carbon (direct evolution) and Bty Viscaria. I switched initially to viscaria after using the Fang Bo, I wanted to improve my BH, and getting something more direct/powerful. But the Viscaria disappointed me. The weight, too neutral, not enough head heavy, so I lost confidence in my shot. And overall I lost control. Too dynamic for me taste, the outer carbon is more dynamic/direct than inner blade. Here I got what I wanted. More power than the fang bo, even more than Viscaria. But tons of control for such speed. The power is not too easy to access, so you have control for short game and tight moment in a match. But when you unleash the beast, the power you have. I still don't have reach the limit. But the inner structure is really good. Also the head heavy blade helps me with my FH (main weapon) and also, as a surprise, my BH. Usually people complain about it on BH. But I am not a BH dominant player like ZJK or FZD. My game is developed around my FH, and this blade suits me well. Control, and power, with good feeling describe the blade well. The limba outerply allow greater dwell compared to Koto of Viscaria. Ideal for Top Spin, and FH shot overall. Definitely the best blade I played with. For my game.

Played with H3 Neo BS 40 on FH, and Rakza Z on BH.
