dhs hurricane long v w968 w997 EXPOSED part II

ok after playing some more with these blades I will make a final statement for all mankind to hear once and for all.

1- these blades are SLOW.
very very very SLOW.
they have no bounciness.
think of a waldner senso carbon of 85g.
it's a similar speed.

2- they are not that great for looping, there's not that much power or spin.

3- the feel is super ultra mega woody.
feels really like an all wood blade.

4- the shape of the head is absolutely horrible.
it's super large and big.
I sanded mine down to make it fit all the other blades I have.
all blades have similar size except for this one.
not anymore.
also the handle is like super long and thin, it's horrible.

5- this blade is the biggest testament as to how much ma long really boosts his rubbers.
I tried it with two tenergy 05, a very fast rubber, and man it felt so slow.
you can go and think just maybe guys using a viscaria or similar are not boosting, specially if they use tenergy.
but using the dhs w968?
it's a must to boost, even tenergies.

6- this blade is so slow it's even slower than clipper by a big margin.

7- I even got to a point where I was
"ok, I can get used to this blade, it's not that bad".
and then I went pick my zhang jike alc.
no comparison, zjkalc is 20 times better (if you are using regular tenergy 05).
the difference in control is not that big but power, spin, placement are so superior with the zjkalc.

8- the price of these blades is so excessive.
even the hurricane long v is a steal.
it's not superior to waldner senso carbon in any way and it costs like double.

-----------------

oh and if you can, sand this blade down to the same size of butterfly blades.
no need for buying rubbers specially for this blade anymore.
you'll also be removing close to 8g of total weight.
and the blade will feel much better.
the best thing that happened to mine is the sanding down.
it's still a rather poor blade but at least the size is good now.
