DHS Power G3T and Power G3Z blade also nothing any information found online about it.

 

[kingkimchi]

Z stands for ZLC but I also don’t know what T fibre is

Trimetrix??!

Arylate?

 

[Zwill]

There really is not much info about any of them.
Usually DHS uses their "aromatic-carbon" (aramid-carbon?) thing for their blades, this 506A might be the so called arylate carbon which is basically vectran carbon's fancy name. For DHS arylate would be a "new" material.

I also have some doubt that the Z version is ZLC or PBO-C since it's quite slow compared to the T version. I don't see how a triple weave aramid + zylon + carbon would be so much faster than a blade that has classical ZLC. And this is assuming that the T version has zylon... The T version is actually quite fast so that wouldn't surprise me but the Z version is slow.

The X version is simple, just thicker core and thinner medial ply.

Z versions are definitely not ZLC, don’t feel like that. The “A” could be Arylate carbon, because it’s more expensive than its “X” counterparts but DHS does use Arylate carbon (ALC) in their higher tier blades, maybe in their lower tier ones as well.

 

[kingkimchi]

Nah, X version are Arylate

U never know what those companies come up with for marketing

 

[Robin0910]

Actually, I’ve read about it on Baidu and it says that it’s from the same family as the blue acrylic carbon used in Long 5 and others but it’s different. It’s something called polyaromatic or polycyclic aromatic fibre. I’m not really familiar with them. If somebody is good at chemistry they can explain.

 

[kingkimchi]

You’re right, it’s probably not Arylate in those cheaper category blades

probably like zl fiber, like zylon without the carbon. some kind of cheap fiber.. maybe also found in "carbon" premade rackets?

I ordered 1 506A direct from China, in this video i compare its fiber layer with 301Z, i see Z-fiber is "yellow" color, A-fiber is "yellow with more whiteish" color.

I am testing it to see the different with 301Z, both blade all at 87-88gram, rubber is same (729 Bloom Power 45deg)

looks same to my eyes.
I always find honesty very very refreshing

In video it very hard to see, i took the picture for easier

For 506A, it has too little information, but wonderfully ttgearlab commented in this article that he will do 1 article for 506A in future.

What about DHS POWER G7X blade, any information or review of this blade.

Thank you sir.

Already buying 506a, the weight is 90 gr and thickness 5.7 mm, testing bounce a ball on bare wood without rubber, I feel it just little slower than sanwei f3 pro, and the vibration 506a on hand so minimum and almost none, the feeling of blade is soft

I agree with you for x version of 506x, looking with bare eyes, the medial ply is thinner than 506a, but the 506x toply is thicker than 506a, and I think thats make 506x feeling is softer than 506a

DHS 506A [Photos & Information]

DHS 506X [Photos & Information]

DHS ‘506X’ is an outer-fiber blade which is rare in the blade range of DHS. ‘506’ series was originally a blade family consisting mainly of 7-ply wood blades such as ‘…

ttgearlab.com

506X, 85.2g, Vp = 1.31, Vl = 1.39, Vl/Vp = 1.06
506A, 87.6g, Vp = 1.24, Vl = 1.37, Vl/Vp = 1.10

The example of the comparison by performance indices

In this blog, for understanding a blade and comparing blades, four performance indices – two elasticity indices and two vibration indices – will be used. Ep : Elasticity Index (Primary)…

ttgearlab.com

Vp = "felt by player's palm... little (fifth) finger and a part of palm", Vl = "felt at the fingertip of index finger"
Vl/Vp = values >= 1.0 sharper feeling at index finger and softer at palm and vice versa for values below 1.0

Performance-wise and vibration-wise the 506X is closer to the older Viscarias (Ec/Ep 0.9 vs 0.91 for old Viscaria, M series, 86g). The 506A holds the ball even longer (Ec/Ep 0.84). Both have a larger head (159 mm x 150 mm) than Viscaria.

All outer blades compared: https://ttgearlab.com/2024/03/15/performance-indices-db-outer-fiber-blades/

Seems like I have to test both blades

 

[pingpongers]

How’s the handle? smaller than Viscaria?

The handle is smaller than viscaria, but I felt 506x handle is a little bigger than 506a handle

 

[Radek 30]

I agree with you for x version of 506x, looking with bare eyes, the medial ply is thinner than 506a, but the 506x toply is thicker than 506a, and I think thats make 506x

it's the other way around. Has anyone played with a 506a blade?

 

[pingpongers]

Already playing and compare it to viscaria, Im feeling 506a is slower and softer, the speed is linear, not like viscaria, i can feel viscaria had more kicking power when u hitting the ball.
