Hurricane Long 5 GOLDEN version review

[SFF_lib]

Ohh Bilibili. You are high end. Don't you have to pass a anime quiz to get in?

Yeah I did. Tell me about it !! The 50 quizzes!!


It’s worth it though. Lots of in-depth reviews.

 

[SFF_lib]

I just bought two of them. I have a ton of other blades i'll be comparing it with... Vis SALC, HL5, LYJ szlc, LSW zlf, DHS K161, and more so stay tuned for a review whenever I receive them!

Wow what a collector!

I remember those questions, I picked a different category though (I think it was gaming), there are some very interesting questions for sure.

Hey there fellow EJ can't wait to see your review.

Hey there fellow EJ can't wait to see your review.

There are many wealthy people on Bilibili like him who can fork out a few thousand at a time just to review a blade [emoji16]

Well I wasn't sure if BO2 was the right choice for me, but based on your comments I think it is the right choice. I like the idea of having high control on low-medium shots and having high topend speed on high shots.

Correction!!
The HL5 Gold is $330USD on prott. NOT $700

I'm bummed I don't have a w968 to compare just a w968-5 which isn't much of a comparison. Not sure if I should put on prov h3 or d09c... decisions decisions.

 

[DukeGaGa]

So… I just bought two 69% ones, one for testing, the other one as a gift / future upgrades for my girlfriend. But due to covid the courier companies in Shanghai has halted their warehouse operations, have to wait for at least two weeks.

968-5 has a hard top ply. Depending on your style both will work

if WCQ will make double grand slam, W968 might be the black tag Viscaria.

Prov h3 for sure. D09c is kind of disappointing tbh.

Agree. It’s not as fast and as controllable as D05. And it’s not as spinny as H3. It’s mediocre.

Interesting observations on 09c - I’m just trying it, with 05 on BH. I was also planning to try H3 on FH and 05 BH but also 05 on FH - what to put on BH then?

Fastarc C1, H8-80, 0r 05 on both sides - any thoughts?

I have played D05 on fh and bh extensively. It’s a great rubber. It can literally do anything. Spin wise it can never reach the H3 level. It excels in all other aspects.

Anything to be honest. Out of experience C1 because I’ve hit with the rubber before. If it’s t05, could never use it with how bouncy it is. My personal choice, although haven’t tried it out is 8-80.

I think 8-80 could work well because skyline 3-60 works incredibly nicely. I could be wrong, but it blends nicely on my b2x. Really good for flicks.

Also, C-1 is very soft with little grip. Not ideal for flicking or topspin rallies. Great for just blocking

Thanks - I have used 38d 8-80 and liked it, very spinny but my sheet was also very heavy at 58g which wasn't great. I have another 37d sheet I will try.
