I don't want to write a normal review of this blade. I could bullet point different game play elements and summarize how the blade plays, and I almost did that. But I won't, the Hurricane 3 doesn't deserve it.
This bade isn't and ordinary blade, this blade is a sensation. The blade won't complete the shots for you, it's not that easy to use. It absolutely will bite back if you lack the technique to use it. It won't stand being held by an unworthy player. However, in the right hands, it's lethal.
The Hurricane excels in almost all areas of game play. I'm almost tempted to say that this blade is a jack of all trades, but that wouldn't be right. I would say that it's more opportunistic. It doesn't force the issue, it doesn't see red when it opens it's eyes however doesn't it back away from a fight either.
It plays similar to Ma Long's style. Ma Long doesn't have the close game ferocity that Fan Zhendong has, nor does he passively push like Ma Lin.
Ma Long, like his blade, is opportunistic and adaptive. Fan Zhendong will force a backhand flick, Fan doesn't see a serve, he sees red. He wants to smash the ball over the net, and he does. Ma Long sees the serve, he sees the opportunity to flick, he can see the need to push. He doesn't force the game to behave the way he wants it to, rather, he adapts and reacts to the game. He doesn't need Xu Xin's footwork to side step the ball and win points with his forehand. He doesn't need Zhang Zike's backhand. He doesn't need Werner Schlager's serves. He doesn't need Ryu Sung Min's agility. Ma Long doesn't need to excel at any one particular area of game play, because he is well rounded in all areas of his gameplay and his paddle embodies that.
