Review of DHS New PG5 Blade

[mxp_man]

Friends,

I am starting TT after 15 years not still coming in groves in terms of game still no control

Currently i am using MX-P on FH and Apollo 5 on BH with yinhe-T11+ blade but i am not able to control the ball at all on this setup.

I have ordered DHS PG5 please update how will the above rubbers work with this setup or do improve my game and get more control on the table i should opt for slower rubbers

Please provide ur expert advise

Pg5 should give you better control since it is a slower non carbon blade.

PG5 & PG5x are composite blades, and MX-P is a very fast rubber (correct me if Im wrong).

True, They're ALC Blades

Sorry i thought pg5 is the 5 ply version of pg7

 

[yogi_bear]

Yup it is alc. More like Ma long 5

Yes its Ma long 5 copy, ALC and core used are similar

Have anyone play with fang bo 2x or pg5x, the update version of pg5 and fangbo 2. I heard some one that they are very different to the old version...

Hello All,

What are the advantages of PG5

I have played Long 5x, and at first glance it is quite bad compared to the commercial Long 5. Long5x is harder, less elastic, and has less spin ability than Long5.

I had both blades — and I still have the Fang Bo 2X. The FB is faster, like a mile faster. Both feel nice on the forehand. The FB feels more like an outer carbon blade, though it doesn’t have the metallic feeling you get with a Viscaria or PG6X. The PG5X has a more woody feel and really shines like an inner carbon blade, with great feel and power once the carbon kicks in.

With the PG5X, it was almost impossible to miss the first forehand topspin.

I struggled with the backhand on both blades. Since the FB is really fast, I couldn’t control it that well, and I was missing the feeling of the ball. On the PG5X, the backhand had a really, really high throw. Every ball went up about half a meter. No matter the angle, every block against a topspin went too high.

I tested both with Tenergy 05 and 05 FX in 1.9 mm.

I can’t compare them to the earlier versions, though.
