DHS Hurricane King acB Review

[Stywok]

H3 BS forehand and 09c BH would be nice. Maybe even H8-20 too.

The arc is a little higher than Viscaria imo

I never played with H3 is it easy to adapt coming from European Rubbers ? Currently playing Timo Boll Alc+ Nuzn 50 I heard that it would mean a big technique change.

I've been playing with boosted H3N blue fh with d09c on bh for a while now, can confirm its a great combination on the ACB. But it'll be a big change coming from a euro setup, maybe it'll be an easier transition to try a hybrid first on your fh like a 40 deg big dipper, or even something like a Jupiter 3?

 

[Stywok]

Do I have to seal the HK. AcB ?

 

[Grumms]

I just bought Hurricane King AcB Do you have any recomendations for a Rubber that suits it well ? I am looking for something controllable. I was thinking about Nuzn 50 or Omega 8 China.
How is the Arc of H.K AcB ?

Nexxus Superselect or Inventus are nice on it. AcB arc is lower than other inner blades with Limba outter ply.

I did, out of precaution.

How would you compare the HK AcB vs Long 5?

It sounds like AcB is more balanced and is better on the BH though HL5 might slightly edge it on the FH.

This is exactly how I would describe it

Received my 3rd blade. 89,1gr and 1465Hz, almost 100Hz more than the 2 others!

Did you find any obvious differences with the other 2?

Mine was 87gm 61% 1400 hz and ive just ordered a second one that has 88gm 60%

 

[nick_ii]

Very interesting. Mine is 87g, 5.82mm, 125mm, 223mm, 68% - 1378hz. It's too soft for 09c.
I want to have a blade close to Viscaria 1450-1500Hz.
How can I request it if I know only weight, thickness, bounce height and rebound?

 

[Creek]

1450-1500 is already quite a fast viscaria… why don’t you just take one?
Purpose of inner constructions is to get a Little slower and softer than outer

I have one Viscaria ~1450Hz, and I want to have the same in the acB. And as I see, there are such examples: "Received my 3rd blade. 89.1g and 1465Hz." I like long dwell in the acB. What if I have something from Viscaria, but with a longer dwell? Maybe it will close to Viscaria Golden? Hmm...
By the way, Innerforce blades can have a high frequency too.
For example

I'm using Tibhar K3 on the Ac-B and it feels pretty good. Don't see the reason why d09c can't be used as i'm using it on a inner carbon blade Xiom TMix Pro.

The reason is hardness. K3 is softer. I have one.

I could test it only a few minutes. It seems that arc is a little higher, but not persuaded. I have to investigate more next week.

Dwell time of a wood, if such thing exists, is nothing compared to the dwell time (if such thing exists again) of a rubber. I don't know how you can feel the specific dwell time of a wood.

Moreover, dwell time has never been measured or proved by anybody.

someone in this forum send me this website: https://ttgearlab.com/
and it pretty much explains the feeling of dwell/hold that also matches my own experience with blades.
it basically says that if the speed with slow strokes not accelerates with hard strokes, then the blades gives the feeling of holding the ball (dwell). if it is even faster then the borrowed power you give in then it provides a feeling of a kick. so ‚kick‘ blades are mostly 7ply, 3+2 and outercarbon. ‚hold‘ blades are mostly 5ply and innercarbon. with exceptions if course

Except that all this is dampened by the rubbers. If dwell time exist, it's 100x more on a rubber than on wood.

definitly the rubber is a factor too, but i would argue that the blade plays the biggest factor in perceived speed and according to the measurements of ttgearlab that is what we feel when we talk about dwell. the actual dwell of the ball on a bat including rubbers is basically non existing and what we feel is just made up in our brain from the way a blade reactes to different kind of strokes as is said in the first post.
…at least that is what ttgearlab measured and what fits my own experience

Vega Europe, Barracuda Big Slam, Rakza Z. Well, softer rubber is better if you want to have fun. If you feel like working out, 729 super fx or hard chinese rubber unboosted. Feel the workout.

Can owners of this blade please confirm the head size? Online it is mentioned to be 150*156. Here, two members mentioned two different head sizes.
