DHS New blade 六金王·狂飚龙5S（W968S）

[Prismus]

Hi,

Today I just found out that DHS will release a new version of the Hurricane long 5 (maybe we will have HL5S and National W968S). Is there someone that have a lot more information about this new blade.

And here is the post : https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5120505046373455

Hey that looks cool at least, I want to be ripped by something with Ma Long's name on it.
Already ordered w968 btw.

Well if you have a winning brand milk it for everything it's worth. I'm pretty sure ML is getting his share of the revenue.

I can't find any information on this wood which is due to be released this month... Does anyone have any information?

I would rather Ma Long selling his own blade 🤣

1 year now and no much reviews about it?

Before i bought W968 but i sold it to a friend who wanted it very much at good price for me, i was looking for to buy it again but i didn't, now i don't know if i should buy that again or this new version which is also pricey, how much it compares to Long 5 National W968 version, if any has that review i would be happy to see/read.

I have the blade and been playing with it for past 2 weeks after giving up on the cybershape. Don't think I'm good enough to write any review. From my experience, this is certainly softer compared to likes of ovtcharov alc or cybershape carbon. FH loop with this is amazing (obviously) but it's not as control as I thought. It has a strange kick once you hit beyond just a light touch, like if you put in 50% energy, it give out 60%. Light touch however is very nice.
Bh certainly not as crisp as cybershape carbon. Need to put a bit of energy on blocks and need to put in a bit more effort on bh loops compare to the cybershape.
I previously tried a Hina H2 which is similar in structure but the Hina gives a hollow empty feeling. This blade certainly don't feel hollow/empty.

So how is it going after a couple of month? Do you still play it? Can you please provide more info on how does it really plays and what rubbers are you using on it?

I've read on Chinese platforms that this blade is somewhat in-between w968 national and the special order players blades, and it is quite a bit more lively on soft and medium strokes than national w968 that feels pretty dead untill the full engagement.

After going through an EJ phase, I am hoping to settle down with equipment and work on technique.
I still use this blade as my main blade, D09C for FH and Victas V>15 sticky soft on BH.

I am quite an armature player so my feedback might not apply to others. But after using it for a few months now, I am getting used to the blade. I am getting used to the extra kick the blade provide and less worry about going over the table compared to when I first got it. The blade has good dwell, compare to my other blade like the cybershape carbon and the butterfly ovt so its great for spinny loops. I have only tried other W968s from my clubmates and it is hard to tell the difference.

I dont think the blade feels dead on soft and medium strokes anyway.

Good to hear, thanks for the update mate!
