Hidden Gems of DHS: Reviewing the W968-8, DHS N301, and the Mythical DHS C09

The Blade Trinity: Decoding DHS’s Elite Inner-Carbon Designs DHS (Double Happiness) dominates high-performance table tennis with blades engineered for China’s elite. Among these, the untra-rare C09, W968-8, and N301 represent distinct philosophies in inner-carbon design—each excelling in specific domains while exposing inherent trade-offs. Analyzing their structures and playstyles reveals why no single blade suits all players. 1. DHS C09: The Backhand Specialist The C09—reportedly evolved from the W968 lineage—prioritizes explosive backhand prowess. Its structure mirrors the W968 but uses a higher carbon ratio in its yellow-black ALC (Arylate Carbon) layer. This amplifies stiffness, creating a "crisp, direct" feel (as per video testing). The blade’s sweet spot generates terrifying speed on backhand drives, rivaling Butterfly’s Golden Visaria. Yet this specialization sacrifices forehand versatility: the stiff carbon reduces dwell time, causing a "hot mess" in touchplay. Only technicians with elite footwork (e.g., Lin Gaoyuan) harness its asymmetry. For others, it remains a high-risk weapon. 2. DHS W968-8: The Demanding Powerhouse The W968-8 (Letter Version) exemplifies controlled aggression. Its thicker Ayous core and Limba surface—identical to Ma Long’s W968—prioritize spin-acceleration synergy. However, this 150x158mm test variant (88g) diverges critically: its thin handle compromises stability, magnifying errors during high-pressure rallies (video evidence). The "code-free" status further complicates trust; fakes saturate China’s gray market. While its carbon-aramid blend offers superior arc and "dwell" over the C09, demanding technique limits it to provincial trainees or pros. As the reviewer warned: "beginners burn cash here." 3. DHS N301: Unlike its exotic peers, the N301 thrives on accessibility. Its Koto surface and Ayous core deliver a balanced, "crisp yet forgiving" feel (video test). The rectangular handle enhances backhand flicks and serves—though shakehand users still praise its control. While less explosive than W968 blades, it outperforms rivals’ inner-carbon models (e.g., Butterfly Innerforce) at mid-price. Crucially, as a commercial model, it avoids the C09/W968-8’s scarcity and counterfeiting risks. For developing players or penhold specialists, it’s the rational choice.
