DHS PG7X
- Thread starter HappyTableTennis
- Start date
There have been similar questions back then. But it is not yet distributed or widely used.
Since the composition is the same as in H301, and the P series are cheaper variants of higher blades from DHS or others, such as PG6X is Viscaria/Timo Boll, PG5X is HL5X, PG5 is HL5, PG7 is 506 or HL3, I would guess, that it is a cheaper version of your actual blade, H301X.
I would not recommend trying it, it could be a waste of money. With the P series, you could get a good blade or a really bad one. I got 3 PG7s, one is very good, the second one was terrible, third is still in plastic, but sounds promising, total differently from the second one which was crap.

Agreed, DHS QC really depends on your luck, I don’t think they seal their blades so my current blade H301X will have some wood fall off when I change rubbers. I wanna have options when changing it, I like the 301X feeling but I’m not rich to buy new blades every year, PG7X is cheap where I am, it really depends on luck whether you get a good or dead blade.
I am really trying to get out of the DHS addiction lol, the price just attracts me like a magnet.

Similar to the H301X in terms of speed and control? I am used to inner but I can try the 6X which is outer.

My Pg7X is little softer slower, and spinnier than DHS 301, control is also better. Excepting the thin handle, Pg7X is one of the best blade I ever played. Recently i bought OSP Virtuoso AC. Feeling is almost the same, but OSP price is x3. If you want good outer Carbon blade, Pg6X should be fine, if you prefer bigger handle Yinhe Pro 01 is the best.

Dunno why, but I haven't seen many people using it, and there is very little information about it on the Internet. As people say, it is similar to 301X but cheaper.
I have seen many people using PG5X (innerforce-like) and PG6X (viscaria-like), myself included. These are excellent blades for their price, so I reckon PG7X might also be decent. Just make sure that you're fine with oversized DHS blades - they have large heads, which increases rubber weight.
Good day to you sir.
Between PG5X > PG6X > PG7X, which blade is less bouncy (Slowest) and which blade is most bouncy (Fastest) in your experience.
Thank you in advance for your kindly reply and recommendations.
Best regards,

I haven't played much with PG7X, only did a warmup with loops and drives, so can't tell much about it.
Speaking of PG5X and PG6X:
- PG5X has a much higher speed potential, especially when you do full strokes with it. It can play with softer rubbers and has a bit of dwell time, great for finishing shots via a forehand pivot.
- PG6X is more linear and control-oriented with better spin and short game. The outer wood is very thin, and the carbon layer engages very early, which helps doing solid strokes with little effort. Max speed potential isn't high, and there is almost no dwell time. I would say it's a slightly more spinny and tame version of Viscaria which requires little effort to create spin. I attribute its extra spin thanks to a large head size and loose handle making sort of a wider "pendulum centrifuge" bat acceleration--but it requires more wrist effort than Viscaria. (sometimes my wrist hurts)
*Note: maybe it's just me, but I found PG6X horrible when paired with European tensors/hybrids--without dwell, it just shoots off the ball without control. In fact, nothing except R42/R47 worked for me PG6X among European rubbers, unlike PG5X, which was excellent with Tibhar and Butterfly hybrids. At the same time, PG6X is solid with Chinese rubbers: Yinhe and DHS rubbers feel great on it, and if I had more stamina to persist through 5-hour tournaments, I would stick to boosted H3 (had to switch to more springy boosted Jupiter/Big Dipper to maintain aggressiveness).

I like the H301X which is my current blade but I cannot afford the price everytime so I am looking to the 7X which is a lot cheaper, considering also I wanna try 6X.

If you're used to an Innerforce-type blade like 301X, I would surely recommend avoiding 6X--its outer carbon is almost literally an outer carbon due to how thin the Koto layer is before the carbon engages. And it's pretty bad for European rubbers, at least from my experience.
Instead, try 5X, 7X, or Fang Bo B2X depending on budget and availability. On paper, they might be softer Innerforce-type blades than 301X and are probably better for European rubbers.

DHS PG7x vs Sanwei F3 PRO and Stuor Long 5 professional
A friend of mine plays with F3 PRO and wants somenthing similar, unfortnetly F3 PRO (and Paramid) got a little expensive.
