what DHS did you try? only commercial ones have thin handles, regional and national have really good handles

I have find some sword clone blade in this store on taobao
And in this sword shop on tmall, maybe we will have the commercial versions with cheaper price

thank you!
Blades have so many options there, don't know what they really mean

like "PGT + aerospace adhesive"

HRT blade came, solid blade for price
HL5 regional is better, more spin and power

How does it fare against commercial?

**fanoftt**

better then commercial HL5
played with 2 commercial HL5, both had weird reactions sometime, sudden ball drops and things like that

the same feeling when i play with DHS PG5, i heard a lot of china people said that commercial of DHS blades have bad quality control, so the distance of feeling is so far...
Could this HRT PRO blade compare with W968? I have seen on https://www.prott.vip that this blade is hand made by DHS retired engineer. The structure of this blade is same with W968 , 5 ply wood + 2 Pith film carbon. After many pro player trial, the feedback is the Power and control is about 90% to W968. LOL !!!

How does the HRT blade compare to the Sword HD997?
They're both similarly and seem to be of approximate quality

**fanoftt**

exactly like you described

nice..so in your opinion,the hrt does play 90% of w968?how many percent would you rate sword hd997?

**fanoftt**

was refering to sword, not dhs, both sword and hrt are not as good as hl5 regional

If you like speed take Sword, if you like control take HRT, if you want for sure good blade take regional or national HL5/W968 (take small numbers only in series, for example less then 10)

Also, this is only based on two blades(1 Sword, 1 HRT) I had, I don't know what will you get, there can be significant difference between "same" blades

**vik2000** · 06:04 AM

Can someone tell me why do people pursue W968 with such fervor? I get that it's probably the holy grail of blades used by the Chinese pros but are they really that much better vs. other inner carbon with outer Limba blades? I get that the quality is much better than HL5 commercial, but I would probably consider Acoustic inner carbon or Innerforce ALC if I'm looking for a top quality blade.

yaa,im more into sword..and there is new blade from sword at aliexpress called black gold provincial..its like hd997 but ebony outer layer..maybe w968-5 copy?the description sounds like w968,more power,spin and their new PGT(power glue technology) cause people said differences btw long 5 and w968 is the glue.haha

According to this data, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing sword hd997 should be a tiny bit faster than n301. What is even more curious n301 is looking slower than h301.

Could you perform this frequency test, fanooftt?

Yes.

Download the Advanced Spectrum Analyzer PRO app in Android (by Vuche Labs, it is free)
Open app
Click on the 3 horizontal lines on the top right
Select "Enable Peak Hold"
Hit play
Bounce the ball on the bare blade a few times
Hit pause on the app. Then see frequency with peak amplitude

Also preferebly, such tests should be done in quiet environment.
