I have to say that the Intensity NCT (standard version) is a very nice blade and I love it. But it really depends on your playstyle. This blade is made for players who like to Loop with controll a little bit more away from the table. Combined with Baracuda it gives a really nice, spinny, high Arc.

Alot of people complain about this blade beeing too slow, and I kind of agree with them that the speed is a little slower and noticable lighter than most offensive blades from this area. But I like it beeing more slow and having more controll.

So it really depends on your play style. If you are a more controlled Looper you will like this blade, but if you have more of a power play this is probably not the best blade for you to choose.

I have used Intensity NCT and DHS Hao2 (commercial version of 656).

I find Intensity quite fast and hard. Not as flexible as Hao2 or my current blade (Stiga Celero Wood). But Intensity provides the power needed if you play far from the table.

If you have the money I have heard DHS 656 is better than the commercial Hao2 and it's a looping machine.

Thanks for replies! But whats the difference between intensity nct and xuxin intensity ?? XX intensity cost more only because of the famous name on the handle?

I have no Idea, but whatever it is I dont think it will be worth it to be honest. The Intensity is great by itself

So, theres 2 things about intensity . one retailer told me what xuxin intensity is a little bit harder compare to intensity (which is quite questionable) and the second retailer says what theres no differences of this blades, both made in sweden, but xuxin intensity is made special for Chinese market(the structure is the same).

but i decide to drop hh2 in favor dhs hurricane hao 3 . still cant decide what blade do i need more
intensity nct or dhs hh3

At the end of the day it all depends on your style. Intensity is hard and suits you if you need loads power reservoir. But it doesn't deliver much feedback or flex due to its hardness. At least that's what I feel. My Intensity is almost as fast and as hard as other carbon blades.

HH3 has a layer of glass carbon in the middle. Some says too fast some says it's great. Nobody knows. But at least Wang Hao used it and he is a looper.

So probably both blades suit if you are a looper.
