Quite fast blade with good control. Great loops but smashes are even better! Price is just ridiculous for quality u get.

External Review for DHS Power G5X on December 19, 2023

I have been playing with this blade for the past 4 weeks. My blade is 89g and I use Tenergy 19 on FH and FastArc G-1 on BH. First off, this blade is a blocking machine. I felt like that I can block every ball back. I am a lefty. So blocking BH vs Right handed player FH shots is important to me. The FastArc G-1 is a bit firm for BH rubber to some players. But for me, this is perfect on the block and the control of this blade is amazing. It is very steady. On looping FH, the blade has some flexibility and it is easy to loop backspin. For topspin, the blade throws a bit high. So you need to adjust your angle or the balls will shoot off the table. I think that this blade will work well with any ESN or Japanese rubbers with 45 - 50 degree hardness. I think that if you use a rubber that is too soft or traditional Chinese rubbers, this blade may be too slow. But with ESN/Japanese rubbers, the speed is very acceptable for close to mid distance play. Long distance play will require a bit of swinging but it is still very manageable. On service, the blade can serve spiny and the dwell time is very good and not too bouncy. So you can serve any kind of serves with this blade.

BTW, I did play with PG5 before and in comparing with PG5, PG5x does offer a firmer more solid feel to it and the speed is slightly faster. This blade is best used by players who are more all-round game. If you are an all-out offensive player, this blade may be too slow for you. Overall, I am loving this blade and I will use it for the 2024 season.

This blade can give a head start to many much more expensive boards, it has a lot of control and a lot of power and is also very versatile - excellent topspin (the ball flies into the table like a rocket) and also an excellent flat game. Great backhand side. I use rubber on it yinhe big Dipper and moon speed.

Vale molto di pi di quanto costa, come tutte le lame Dhs. Potente e controllata se usata con gomme cinesi dure. La maniglia fl la pi comoda che io abbia mai trovata. Super .

Amazing blade for the price, infact you expect low quality and performance but no sir this blade is better finished with all ply jointless,better than some high end blade . It is like others mentioned small brother of dhs hl5, but its not slow. With chiness or sticky rubbers any blade will ply slightly slower but try euro rubbers and the speed bumps up few notch. Definitely a loop attack blade

PG5X is an amazing blade. Its more like HL5X clone. I paired it with Dignics09c and Hurricane 8-80. The control is very good. Its not stiff. Good for loops and has ability to smash. It doesnt look cheap but price is cheap. And the handle is very comfortable. Overall has a good value.

This is a variation of innerforce blades. Limba outer, and ALC as the third layer (not the second). It has quite a bit of flex and dwell, and is not hard. Compared to Viscaria it is softer, more flexible and slower. Compared to PG5 it is stiffer and faster (and slighly thicker). Weight is 87 gr, 5 grams less than PG5. The difference in weight comes from the handle which is hollow in PG5-X but solid wood in PG5. Overall, very cheap and great quality. Makes very spinny openings. Works great with Hurricane 8 40, boosted. It's a blade with a lot of dwell, so it works well with very hard rubbers.

I'm coming from a Yinhe MC-4 carbon blade. This blade is nicer, and a bit more dynamic. It feels a bit faster than MC-4, but not that stiff. I've tried the DHS PG5 as well. This one should have been much thicker, but it's only slightly thicker than the PG5. Not so much that you'll notice. Mine weights 89g. Really good offensive blade, but not too fast. I use it with DHS H3N 41deg (FH) and Andro Hexer Grip SFX 1.9mm (BH) and this is a good combination for me. ***Update*** Now playing with H3 41deg and Yinhe Big Dipper 38deg, both boosted a bit with Haifu Sea Moon Booster. I don't know if it's the boosted rubbers that makes the difference, but compared to my Yinhe V-14 PRO blade, this gives me more control now.

I put a boosted 729 Super FX on forehand side and boosted Reactor Ckylin blue sponge on backhand and the combination is super. The combination is not fast but enough power and very good control make it perfect for looping and serving. The serves are super spinny.

Very Good blade, give confidence on taking spin shot. my first blade was Kosaka a bit stiff, can't have the feeling, then move to yinhe n10s, a very good control light and enough speed but I'm still lack of speed. the rubber on both that blade was Friendship 729 faster FH and mercury II on BH. I upgrade to PG 5X I got the feeling that I want and increase on speed. the Rubber FH I use Yinhe Jupiter II and BH I use Yinhe 9000 II, both give extra confidence on taking the ball using the PG 5X
