DHS 301 or Yinhe M201 with ST handle?

[z0uLess]

Hey, I am researching what my first carbon blade will be and I really like the inner ALC blades with koto outer ply. I have held both DHS Hurricane 301 and Yinhe m201 in my hands and I dont like that the handle is so small (thin in the upper part). Do you guys know about a blade in this style that has a good sized handle? I am currently using an ST handle which is even thicker than the Stiga ST handle, but I dont mind the Stiga ST handle.

Stiga Dynasty Carbon is the closest I could find to my preferrences, since it has ayous "filler" (3 ayous layers comprising the core), but this is an outer carbon blade. Is the DHS Hurricane Long 5 ST also kinda thin in the handle? I have kinda ruled out this last option simply because of the speed, thickness, weight and lack of flex in this blade. I think its just a tad bit weird to play with this blade on my level.

Edit: Theres this one blade called Stiga INSPIRA CCF that has koto-limba-carbon-ayous-carbon-limba-koto, but this one also seems way to quick and stiff for me (Thickness is 6.2~6.3mm).

Simply put, I would like a flexible inner carbon blade with a large sized ST handle, as I am currently using a thin koto-spruce-ayous-spruce-koto blade which I like a lot, but need something with a bit more ability to rocket the ball when hitting hard.

... has anyone tried the Nittaku Tornado King Power with ST handle? How does the size compare to the classic Stiga ST grip?

Sanwei 75 inner is available in ST and has a really thick handle. It's a very nice blade for its price.

Wouldn't call 75 Inner flexible though

So theres really only DHS 301 that functions like this with the same composition? I suppose I could try using grip tape.

Btw, I found a shot that supposedly has sold DHS 301 with straight handle, but its "out of stock" right now

Yinhe Pro 03 FL handle is pretty thick, I don't think they have ST handles though

I have one in fl, it's pretty decent but op was asking for large st handles and Donic isn't known for having that large handles in general. But I've never seen the st so could be an option

Whats the difference between Yinhe Pro 03 and Yinhe M201? I was not able to find full info on composition in Pro 03

Yinhe M201 is the older model and uses different materials, polyethylene carbon. The handle of 201 is thinner too. Pro 03 is the newest one, uses KLC, handle is thicker and it's somewhat faster than 201

Yinhe pro 03 composition: Dyed Koto - Ayous - KLC - Ayous - KLC - Ayous - Dyed Koto

Donic True Carbon Inner: koto, ayous, aramid, kiri, aramid, ayous, koto. Don't know how thick the straight handle is.
Loki Telson Power: koto, ayous, aramid, ayous, aramid, ayous, koto. Quite thick flared handle if this has the same handle as the other Telson blades.

It's a shame, some of their older 7 ply blades, at least, had some pretty beefy st handles, but I guess everything's made in Asia for non euro sized hands now, that seems to be the new direction.

The Telson Power I got had a really narrow slim handle, looked like it was made for kids.

What about speed > control > flexible of The Telson Power if comparable with Yinhe or DHS or Sanwei blade from your experience.

Thank you sir.
Best regards,

I haven't even glued rubbers to that blade, because of the handle. Can't tell you
