DHS 7-ply allwood blade?

[Table10Ice]

Is it a racket you would recommend to a low intermediate player?
Is the regular 5-ply DHS Hurricane Hao a good start? How does it compare to other brands, like Butterfly, Stiga, Tibhar etc?

And why does the DHS Hurricane Hao II cost two to three times more than the original version?

What about DHS Hurricane King II? How does it compare? Is it discontinued, cause I can't find in stock anywhere?

How would DHS Hurricane Hao compare to DHS Hurricane Long 3?

Can't reallu go wrong with five plys, but for me it would be to expensive. You can easily get a blade of equal or better quality for half the price.
Handle shape matters more than brand for me. DHS has quite narrow/thin handles, also DHS is not known for good quality control/finish of its blades

So which DHS 7-ply allwood blade would you recommend to a low intermediate player?

Fang Bo wood
Hurricane Long 3
Power G7H
TG506+

Personally I don't like dhs handles,so i wouldn't recommend them.

Blades I'd recommend:
Yinhe U2
Sanwei Fextra 7
Donic Persson Powerplay

I also like the Sanwei V5 Pro, which is a fair bit faster.

Long 3 is a really, really good 7 ply. Especially if you can get a provincial or national version, I've never found anything else that hits like it.

I ordered Sanwei V5 Pro from Aliexpress last Friday, cost me little under 30 euros!

But I think it's better to transit from 5 to 7-ply with a little slower blade, maybe Donic Persson Powerplay or Yinhe U2?

If you already ordered it, try it first before ordering anything else. Personally I like it a lot.

I forgot to ask about the DHS TG-7SP, anyone familiar with that blade? Not much info about it online, discontinued maybe? At least prott sells it: https://prott.vip/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=TG7SP

Very sober, nice design I would say.
