Drvo DHS / Hurricane Long 5 (968)

The DHS Hurricane Long 5 (W968) is the pinnacle Holy Grail of table tennis blades, engineered to the exact technical specifications and artisanal construction used by the greatest player of all time, Double Grand Slam & Olympic Champion Ma Long. Utilizing the legendary W968 inner-fiber structure (5 plies selected wood + 2 plies Inner Arylate-Carbon), this masterpiece delivers an intimate, pure-wood touch during delicate touch play, which transforms into devastating, unstoppable kinetic power when executing full-power looping drives.

Key Playing Characteristics

• Authentic W968 Inner-Fiber Architecture: Inner Arylate-Carbon layers sit directly around the thick Ayous core beneath soft Limba outers, providing immense dwell time on brush-loops and explosive catapult energy on hard impacts.
• Ma Long Signature Looping Trajectory: Produces a lethal, dipping topspin arc with torrential rotation that explodes forward upon bouncing on the opponent's side.
• Peerless Over-the-Table Touch: Feels like an elastic pure-wood blade during short pushes, drop shots, and receive, completely devoid of synthetic hollow reverberations.
• Unrivaled Power Ceiling: The harder you swing, the more exponential acceleration the blade unleashes, dominating mid-distance rallies with total authority.
