perfectly suits the game with loops, the sensations are quite clear. shows well with different types of overlays , I try with dianchi d forhand and dignics 05 ) . loops are easy to make and fly at good speed. I also love the DHS handles, they are easy to maneuver and make a powerful top spin.

I played a number of blades, Hurricane no.2, Treiber CO OFF/S, VS Unlimited, Viscaria, SK Carbon always using the same rubber FH: MX-P and BH: Mantra M.

Each blade is slightly different. The SK is too fast no control, the Viscaria is well balanced in all aspects but doesn't shine in one aspect. The Trieber CO and VS Unlimited are asking blades, even better with more speed and more control than the Viscaria. The DHS 301x has some magic, nothing off the charts, yet something about it that I find myself going to it every time. Speed, Control, Spin are all a factor of the player connecting with a capable blade. The weight, feel, reaction, and handle of this blade fit my hand, it becomes an extension of my arm. Not the best blade I own, but the best choice for value for money. Well done DHS, you've put a $60 blade that can hold it's head high amongst blades double or even triple it's price.

TLDR: Nice upgrade to the 301 if you're a looper wanting something with slightly more power + stability. Great for RPB.

I'm using this for a RPB playstyle. USATT ~2000 Rating. H3N 41 2.15mm Orange Forehand. Goldarc 8 47.5 MAX Backhand. Previously I was using the H301 and of course when I saw this blade on Aliexpress I was curious if the "X" meant "MOAR XTREME!"

This blade has all of the nice features of the 301. Nice linear feeling, esp on low impact shots all the way to mid impact shots. Once you use a bit more power, you get the composite to kick in. Massive sweet spot. Great for any kind of looping shots. Topspin. Underspin. Easy. Highly controllable short balls. What's the difference from the 301? On mid impact shots you have a bit more power, a bit longer throw, higher arc. It's also noticeably crispier, with slightly dampened vibrations. This really shines on the RPB side b/c it feels stable as heck. So if you like the 301, you're probably gonna like this one.

With all of that said... there is a quirky aspect of this blade that you should keep in mind if you like to flat hit the ball. It's really easy to make the blade bottom out. If your loop technique gets wonky (you gotta get pretty wonky) and you muscle the ball and make too flat of contact, it doesn't take much power for the blade to sound plasticky. It almost sounds like... a really old 729 composite blade I once had that had fiberglass plies. Obviously, if you're aiming to flat hit, you're gonna get this feeling all the time. Whenever this happened, it really felt like the ball rocketed wildly over the table. I've never experienced anything like this with the regular H301.

It's not a huge issue for me, since I don't know how to flat hit anyway, and the loops that I miss would've been off the table anyway, but fair warning for you hitters out there.
