DHS Hurricane Hao

the HH should be pretty hard like the YEO and HK.  Im sure it has pretty good control like the HK and plenty of power even from mid table.

I am bad at comparing and reviewing but HH656 is not an easy blade to play with.. my first blade was TBS which had arylate and second was Amultart.. so I never played with all wood before, HH656 is a bad experience for my FH and great for BH. 2-3 weeks of play and I still can't adjust as good as I did with TBS.

keep on trying sallom. It takes long time but the good is there also in the fh.

It took me almost 1/2 year. As you said it is not easy blade.

hh is rather hard to control.. therefore a rubbing approach

i would say it vibrate alot compare to other blades..

good blade. the only downfall is the close to the net play

yes.. its a rub only blade.. that has no much power, especially

Maybe Wang Hao does not use such a blade. His is very powerul. Maybe it is specially made for him but the color is dark brown.

So you should make good strokes and hit hard with the hh to produce nice shots.

I took this picture of Wang Hao while training, I guess he doesn't complete a full loop motion unless he is far-mid distance from the table otherwise he would finish his loop "short" for close to the table spin oriented shots.



About the color of the outer ply, I can say that you can't be sure what he is using and the color of it.. I was watching him live, 2-1 meter away while he was warming up and couldn't even see his blade well. He pulled it out few hits then straight back to the bag while he was in Kuwait open.

It was also hard for me to see the outer ply (I wanted to identify the handle badly but couldn't) because his fingers were hugging the blade well and it was sanded a lot.




At the time I didn't have proper lenses for this environment, hopefully I will if he will be here in the next edition Kuwait open.

HH656 isn't very light gray, we still can't be sure :/
I really regret not having closeup shots at his blade :(

wanghao pasted his rubber quite near to handle!

Thanks Zheyi

I think they were just sharing the table, those ladies were there before the Chinese mens team arrive.

I played a shakehand 2300usatt, with hurricane hao+tenergy 05. His close to table play was excellent. If you get this blade, you need a high quality rubber. Tenergy or Provincial dhs rubber. 

I'm sorry I only meant that for very high players. HH+Tenergy would probably be too much for me to handle(I'm 2000 usatt) However, HH+a cheap dhs rubber such as the commercial neos, is like playing with crap. Unless, you want to flat hit everything. For the people in the 1000-1500 range, this setup is awesome. Super control on passive shots. 

The commercial neos are excellent rubbers for its price range. Great on control, learning strokes, and serving. But it can not compare to Tenergy 05, unless you boost your commercial neos.  I don't know your level, but don't make an equipment jump too soon. If you're playing with commercial neos unboosted, don't jump to Tenergy 05 2.1! It will f up your strokes/mechanics. Try Tenergy 1.7 or Spin art. Tenergy 2.1 is too hard to control for me, I use 1.9 and sometimes think it's too fast. I have laughs, but feel pity, when I play people using Tenergy in the 1000-1500 usatt range. They can not return 90% of my serves, and make so many errors, and all with crappy looking technique. It makes bageling them easy. A 1500 usatt using a control set up/hurricane neo, is much harder to play, because they can return serves, and make a lot more shots.
