DHS Hurricane Long 5X Table Tennis Blade

The DHS Hurricane Long 5X is a high-speed offensive blade engineered specifically for the 40mm ball, emphasizing power efficiency, rigidity, and explosive acceleration. Built on the Hurricane Long lineage, the 5X introduces an enhanced Thicker Pith technology, increasing the blade core thickness by 0.5 mm to deliver greater speed and more direct energy transfer on ball impact.

To balance power and control, the force layers on both sides of the core are thinned by 0.2 mm, bringing the overall blade thickness from 5.9 mm to approximately 6.0 mm. This refined structure lowers the power threshold, allowing players to access strong acceleration and deep reserve power even with medium force input. The result is a blade that releases core energy quickly, delivers solid feedback, and maintains a crisp, confident feel. Inspired by Ma Long’s comprehensive and balanced playing style, the Hurricane Long 5X supports rapid transitions between attack and defense, controlled placement, and explosive finishing power. 

• Designed For 40+ Ball: Engineered specifically for the modern 40mm ball, focusing on efficient power output, speed stability, and direct energy transfer.
• Thicker Pith Technology: Core thickness increased by 0.5 mm to create a stiffer structure that bends less on impact, delivering faster rebound and stronger penetrating power.
• Lower Power Threshold: Optimized layer distribution with thinned force plies allows strong acceleration even with medium force input, making power more accessible and consistent.
• Fast, Balanced Playstyle: Inspired by Ma Long’s all-around offensive game, enabling rapid attack-defense transitions, controlled placement, and powerful finishing capability.

Blade Collectible Card

The Collectible Card is only on PLAYER level table tennis blade. Data obtained in the laboratory under standard conditions. Weight, Thickness, Balanced Point, Bounce Height, Rebound Speed Decay Rate

• Balance Point: A lower balance point value reflects stronger offensive capability. ( e.g. 124mm=Offensive)
• Bounce Heigh: A higher bounce height indicates greater rebound efficiency, resulting in faster ball speed off the racket. (e.g. 300mm=High)
• Rebound Speed Decay Rate: A higher decay rate indicates stronger consistency and stability during repeated high-intensity hitting. (e.g. 69%=Strong)
  
• Specific data combined with touches and the rubber combination can help athletes maximize their abilities.

Hurricaen Long 5

True to the Hurricane Long series, the Hurricane Long 5 excels in smooth attack–defense transitions, offering a fast, versatile playing style with clear feedback, stable ball placement, and precise control—ideal for advanced players who value consistency, spin, and tactical flexibility.

DHS crafts the Hurricane Long series blades to match Ma Long’s evolving playing style. Each model number represents different stages of Ma Long’s technical development. The Hurricane Long 5, the fourth blade in the series, was specifically tailored in 2013 to suit Ma Long’s current playing characteristics.
