I'm posting this here, as I have done in mytabletennis.net and I will do in ooak.forum, as I guess that many members of each forum probably don't read the others, and I would like to gather as much information as possible... So here it goes.
Recently, I have tried the Hurricane King II (655). I liked the fact that is a flexible blade but I would like a faster flexible all wood blade. I am looking for a blade in the range of the Off + speed (the HK II that I tried was manually shortened in its head size, but I guess that with its original size, its speed would be the same. By the way, I am aware that DHS parameter of "Off ++" - as it is labeled the HK II- should be read as an "Off" in others brands' ratings).
May be I am wrong, but I guess that almost all DHS blades share the feature of being flexible, so I was thinking of DHS PG-9, DHS PG-7,or any of the DHS TG-7 models. Have you ever tried them, or other models of DHS that you can suggest ?
I am not yet decided about the type of wood I would prefer best. The number of plyes can be of 5, 7 or more.
But it has to be flexible, all wood, and faster than HK II.
By the way, I am not closed to DHS models, so if you have any suggestions from others brands (chinese or not), please feel free to share.
Finally, let me give you the scenario I'm viewing in my memory when I talk about the concept of "flexibility": with the Hurricane King II, some of my topspins that I thought were going out of the table, finally managed to go down and touch the table, surprising not only me but my opponent. I guess that is something similar to what happened with the OSP Expert blade (the allwood one), which I didn´t play with, but read comments about.
Thanks for the suggestions.
