Ralph –
I was looking for this blade to purchase but because of the its popularity you can easily end up purchasing an imitation one from the untrustworthy websites because most of the trusted TT suppliers in the UK did not have them in store OR did not have it in straight handles.
And I never knew we had an official DHS-TT UK store until i recently purchased a DHS No 15 glue from amazon which arrived with their flyer – I was super excited when I saw their flyer in my package.
Anyhow, I have used the Hurricane Long 5 version and it has very good power and control for high level players. (HL5) possess good control, descent power and very good for counter-attacks, however it is not fast enough to finish off good and difficult opponents unless you are prepared for the extra long rallies which I dislike (I love it but I prefer to get the job done earlier when I want to). I think this blade will be a very good upgrade to the previous version for attacking players if it does truly possess the qualities of HL5 with the extra speed.
– I cant wait to get by hands on it BUT…..
I have just purchased Stiga dynasty because I didn’t know we had an official DHS store in the UK until now unfortunately 🙁 but will wait for few months time before I purchase this, then come back and give my full review on 5X
Will surely spread DHS-TT.UK to my club members who love the DHS product just like me.
