DHS W968 Hurricane Long 5 Table Tennis Blade

The DHS Hurricane Long 5 is a classic Ma Long–signature blade, famously used during his victory at the 2015 World Table Tennis Championships, and designed for players seeking the perfect balance of power, speed, and control.

Built with a 5-ply wood + 2-ply inner arylate-carbon (yellow & black fiber) structure, features Pith-Film technology. The resilient yellow-black arylate-carbon layers are positioned on both sides of the central core, reinforcing the core’s strength while enhancing overall stability and power. This inner-fiber construction delivers a refined, delicate feel with minimal rebound on soft touches, allowing excellent control in short game and small-ball play. At the same time, when fully engaged, the strengthened core provides solid power output and speed, supporting confident attacking play.
