DHS Inner Carbon Blades Comparison: Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Long 5 & B2X

[victormanriquey]

Hey all!

For my last review of this month, I managed to make some time for a blogpost I really wanted to make for a long time, the comparison of four inner DHS blades I've played (and still play) a lot with and that I really love: the DHS Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Long 5 and B2X. They are similar in a way, but still with their own clear characters and personality, so they fit different play styles and philosophies (plus the handles differ as well, very important!)

So here is the full blog link: https://www.tabletennisequipmenthelp.com/blog/dhs-inner-carbon-blades-comparison

And here's the TL;DR if you don't have the time to read the full wall of text:

Category	Blade ranking
Composition, Weight, Handles, Ply Thickness	All 4 are ayous/limba with inner AC (aromatic carbon), ply thickness and handles vary. Similar weights
Speed, Control & Gears (High to low speed)	Long 5 > Wang Chuqin > B2X ≥ Sun Yingsha
Feeling, Vibration & Dwell (High to low hardness)	B2X ≥ Sun Yingsha > Long 5 > Wang Chuqin
Price & Durability	B2X is low-cost, the others premium, they are fragile but durable if sealed and handled correctly.

Hope you guys will enjoy this review and comparison and if you have any questions please let me know!

Take care and thanks for reading!

Ps. Just for some fun, in the last weeks, I sold one of the blades to a friend, so I didn't have the box anymore, so I had to ninja it into the hero image with claude (I had an old image on the same room floor, so that helped haha Let's see if you can spot which one without checking the full blogpost hahaha and yes, all the other images are real (as you can see in the shit image quality and composition, I'm so terrible at those things), no AI slop with me (ever)

Oh and, almost forgot, thanks @Matteones for your Long 5, it has gotten the love it deserves in this post, hope you are enjoying my first WQC blade still

I've seen your advert come up and go away, so I'm not going to say my guess

how will Long 5 go with D05 both sides,
also how does long 5 feels weigh wise?

 

[Matteones]

It's funny you find the long 5 to be less dwelly than the wang chuqin, I actually think the opposite (even if the difference is minor - and I am actually comparing your Chuqin with the W968 that I was using more recently).

I have tested it quite a lot this summer but in the end settled for the Freitas, that gives me more speed and ease of use and doesn't take away too much feeling for me.
Now I have given the Chuqin along with other blades to a couple of our good teens to test, they are now at a national level and ready to change to their first "serious" blade. so it may find a second life in their hands.. otherwise it will come back to papa who will be happy to hold onto it 😁

Onto it.

Could you please explain how the Freitas ALC compares with a VIS-type blade?
I’v benn thinking about switching to get a bit softer feel
