It's just one of the best blades made for the modern game. Amazing speed when you want it, with great control when you need it. If you can, try to find a national (labeled as 506) or provincial (white card) version. It really is almost magical how the blade knows what you need with each hit.

86 Grams - Two Winged attacker/counter blocker. FH Rubber - TG Skyline 3 40 deg (2.2mm one layer of booster), BH - Rasanter 50 2.0mm. Excellent feeling, sublime vibrations. The whole blade is the sweet spot. No spin or power can go through you. Blocks-10/10 Counter Spins 9.5/10 Short Game- 9.5/10
Looping 11/10. Driving 9/10. Lobbing/Retrieving 9.5/10. Spin is killer in potential. No ball goes off the table when you keep playing the point, you can keep the pressure on the opponent like no other blade out there. Doesnt feel like you can miss. Reminder- blade is on the fragile side. Treat it right cause it will treat you right.

A very consistent blade. It's fast on the power strokes, but it's also controllable in short game. Plays well with chinese rubbers like Friendship Battle 2 Provincial (Blue Sponge) which I use on both sides, plays well with Dignics 09c on FH. It's heavy with these rubbers and handle tape around 198gr. The blade itself weights 89g. I tried many other blades but always come back to Long 3. Recommend.
The Hurricane Long 3 is the bigger, higher quality, and more expensive brother to the DHS PG7. This blade has a seven ply wood construction that shares some qualities of 5 ply and 7ply wood blades. The center core is thicker than a typical 7 ply blade with thinner supporting plys. This makes the HL3 more flexible than a 7 ply blade - like a Stiga Clipper - but stiffer than a 5 ply like the Butterfly Peter Korbel. The HL3 construction is actually very similar to typical outer carbon blades, but instead of ALC or other synthetic fiber there is a layer of wood. This blade construction gives a clean wood feedback, with good dwell and control. However, when power is applied the HL3 transfers a lot of power and speed to the ball. The softer limba outer plys are good for the short game and looping, but tends to splinter around the edges. The handle is slightly longer and has a conical shape. This moves the center of mass a little above the handle and allows for a very balanced blade with good power capabilities that is comfortable to hold. With the center of mass above the handle, if the thumb is raised for backhand shots, it will rest at or near the center of mass (depending on thumb length) - this gives a lot of stability to BH shots. The balance of this blade is quite desirable especially when using heavier rubbers. The wings are a little sharp, but some fine grit sandpaper fixes that problem. For loopers those that prefer wood, with stability and power this blade is worth a try.
Very powerful 7 ply all wood blade. Flared handle fits nicely in hand. Paired it with Tenergy 05-FX on both sides and the power is unbelievable with control if proper technique is used. Total weight of blade and rubber is 183 grams (nice weight). Gorgeous blade is one of a kind. Offers tremendous speed when the need arises. Very fast blade that is controllable (a bit of a surprise). Best looking blade on the market with quality craftsmanship. Give it a try.
Very good blade, it opened up my game and I'm very satisfied with it also has tremendous speed and control, if money is not an issue I highly recommend this blade
This is an outstanding 7 ply wood blade and one of the best offensive wood blades that you can buy. It's very well balanced with enough speed and excellent control and feel. I would put the speed rating in the Off-/Off range which is plenty fast for me. My blade is 6.4mm thick which I think is perfect to allow great blocks and hits while still being flexible enough to also be great at looping. Some 7 ply wood blades in the 6.7-7.0mm range, while great at blocking and hitting, are just too stiff for my looping focused game. Thinner wood blades in the 5.8-6.0mm range loop like a dream but their blocking and hitting accuracy leave something to be desired. This blade can do it all, and do it all well. If you prefer the feel and sensation of a wood blade vs a composite blade but want a blade that can perform as well as the best ALC blades, look no further. Highly recommended.
One of the fastest all wood blade I played with. Apart from the control which is equally match which some current blades also have, hl3 has tones of spin to keep the ball in the table rather than over shooting unlike other off+ blades I have tried in the past. Hl3 suit both Chinese and European rubbers. Super fast rubber are not advisable unless you want to lounch a rocket. Despite a fast blade, the short game is not effected at all for me . The blade have gears for definite. This blade excells in topspin game due to high throw and flex , it's true the sweet spot is Hugh which is only seen before in composite blades. My blade is 92g and the build quality is very high with slightly better handle on flared version compared to pg7 alikes.
The hurricane long is an awesome blade, i have been using it with a pair of donic bluefire m1 turbo and i got to say its really fast, it have a really large sweetspot that gives you all the control you want without sacrificing speed, its really fast but have the control so dont worry about your short play, if you're an offencive player don't be worried about these blade, because with it great speed and control you can do really easy flips, loops and counter loops with a lot of power
For the last 4 years I played with Butterfly Innerforce ZLC blade, using BF Tenergy 05 on fh and BF Tenergy 05fx on bh. Few months ago I purchased Long 3 and used it with the same rubbers. It was too bouncy in the beginning and more powerful then ZLC. I lack control in close game and I left it in the bag and used it at practice sessions as the spare bat, occasionally. However, with the recent switch to the plastic balls I found ZLC to lack power. I tried Long 3 and never looked back. For some reason Long 3 just suits the game with plastic balls much better. In our club we use HSF seamless balls, which are very good by the way. Long 3 is great blade when you master it. I've been playing with it for the last 2 months. Control is very good, due to limba out layer. Actually it is very similar composition to Innerforce ZLC. Both blades are 7 ply blades made of limba and ayous wood. The main difference is zylon carbon layers in ZLC and Long 3 being all wood blade. It is great for hitting and playing away from the table. Touch game needs practice but once it's mastered is very good too. There is no vibration, blocking is easy and loops are as good as your technique allows it. So if you are looking for more powerful but still controllable blade and you are coming from limba/ayoys blades (like Innerforce ZLC, Petr Korbel, Primorac and even Mizutani Jun or Maze) it will be easy up-grade for you. Enjoy it.
Awesome combination of speed and control, medium stiffness and soft touch still has big sweet spot to support blocks and smashes, weight 90 gms approx and is head heavy, you might want to try grip to evenly distribute that weight on your palm. Controllable from any distance from the table, near to far away from the table. The blade is soft and can absorb moisture so try lacquering, insane catapult effect putting huge amount of spin when needed. Worth the money you spend, wont disappoint in any aspect of the game from short push, touch to counter looping, smashing or blocking. Use slightly slow and soft rubbers to get the max potential of this blade. It can be deadly weapon for attackers once mastered.
On the blade I'm using double happiness hurricane 3 neo on my forehand and yasaka Mark V on my back hand. When I was first hitting with the blade i noticed the ball bounced off my racket quite easily, and the blade had a very very very large sweet spot. Now the blade retails for around 200 USD. Now is it worth it? Let's find out.
Spin
-serves, pushes, loops, counterloops, topspin drives, counter drives, smashes, blocks: every aspect of what you want to do to the ball, it will develop a tremendous amount of spin.
Looping
- wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Looping with this blade is effortless, I can loop under spin with no problems at all. Backhand and forehand side. Looping is awesome with this racket.
Drives
-again amazing, giving your opponent drives with this blade is like performing the power of ma long. Absolutely perfect.
Touch shots
- Even though this blade is marketed for an off++ blade, it's touch shots is still great, pushes give lots of spin, and blocks are effective as well.
Control
- perfect, whatever you want to do with the blade, it will do it. You want to push, it'll do it. You want to loop it'll do it. You want to topspin drive it'll do it. Whatever you want to do, it'll let you do it.
Speed
- this is where the blade shines, basically in a nutshell; you're able to give the power of ma long to your opponent. Blade is pretty damn fast.
Conclusion
So is this blade worth the price? Certainly most definitely, touch shots are great, speed is amazing, control is great, and spin is awesome. I definitely recommend this blade, it's absolute fire.

This is a good blade. Compared to my previous one which was a DHS Hurricane Long I with DHS Neohurricane III max rubbers for both sides, It is obviously slower, with much better control. The weight is almost the same. Perhaps this one is a little lighter but I am not sure.
The sense is good enough and the handle is relly great! I love it very much. Nearly as I love the hurricane Long I. I cannot sense any difference in the ball's speed and spin when the ball is hitting the centre of the blade compared to the strikes away from the centre point and it means good control for me.
However, to get enough speed as I had with my Long I, I think I have to change my rubbers to get more speedy ones. If anyone uses this blade, I suggest European rubbers with good speed and spin like Cornilleau Target force or Cornilleau Taget Sound, rather than the Chinese ones like DHS Series. If you want to use Chinese rubbers, get the hurricane long I which is obviously faster and more stiff to compensate for the effect of tackiness and slowness of your rubbers.
In terms of balance between the handle and the face, Hurricane Long III must be one of the bests. Its effect is mostly bold to me when I use back-Hand loops repeatedly. It really helps at relieving my wrist pressure and gives me good precision.
As a single-sentence-description I can say It has good speed, really good control, excellent balance, good sensation, normal weight and very beautiful and lovely handle.

Moving from Mazunov was very hard at first but after 1 week i can't go back to Mazunov.
This blade has very good speed, amazing control and tons of spin.
It has no vibrations, the handle is very comfortable and the box you get with it is very cool.
It's a little pricey but it's well worth it. I got mine at 88 grams.

First time playing with it i noticed that it was stiffer than what im used to, compared to my previews blades, Butterfly Innerforce ALC and Xiom Hayabusa ZX. Its a very fast blade though there is still controll. When hitting with it i felt that it had alot of power right away. Mine weighs 90g and is heavier than what im used to. Meaning heavier blade more power since you will be forced to hit harder or make a quicker move. Since it is a stiffer blade it noticed it was easier to block with it than a flexier blade. Looping with it is very nice, must be its speciality.
Easy and alot of power. It has a big sweet spot as they say.
With the blade i used FH Tenergy 05 and Bh Tenergy 80. Lost alittle feeling with this blade but must be because its stiffer. Overall its a nice blade and worth playing with.

Very best blade with almost full control,block is very effective,But I'm using blue sponge neo hurricane on my FH,Little bit slow but good control with variations,But in BH i'm using the xiom omega-4 elite,good speed with max spin & control.But using with xiom sigma is fantastic,Previously i used with the Xiom sigma in malong-1 ply,That ply is alc composite but it has good speed & good control,But this ply is also fast but not that much as the malong-1,But has good control & large sweet spot with dwell time.
Best blade in ma long-series,i will give 9.7/10 overall.
