Unique new glue adopting counter-infiltration technique reduces the elasticity loss of timber. The blade emphasizes on hand feeling as well as super speed. It's easier to control it.

This is DHS's first Wang Liqin model. It's a thin blade that flexes to send the ball flying. It works with both tacky and tension rubbers, but it's an especially great match with harder rubbers.
It doesn't have simple bounce — blocks and stops stay put, there's no real rebound on its own but it flies when you flex it, and because it flexes it grips the ball with spin and lands nicely in the short game, plus the second-gear extension is amazing. Overall I think it's a very high-performance racket.
It won't fly on its own, so I'd recommend it to players who can generate the power to send the ball flying themselves — especially ones who attack with fast, driving-style topspin drives.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

If you're even a little bit interested, you should just buy it. I don't have much table tennis experience, but I can say this for sure.
It flies so much you'd think this was a 5-ply blade. It probably depends on the rubber, but the trajectory and spin are insane, and the overall power of the ball is ridiculous. The grip is on the thicker side and flat, making switching between forehand and backhand easy. Here's a breakdown by technique↓↓Forehand drive
High-level speed both against backspin and topspin, goes in no matter how you hit it
Backhand drive
You can grab the ball and load it up with tons of spin, or whip it and finish the point in one shot. Effortlessly.
Serve
No quirks, gets plenty of spin,
Over the table
Stops stay put, but pushes come out with a trajectory that drives in sharply (deep).Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I think a harder rubber suits this blade well
The bounce is a bit more than a plain wood blade, but less than a carbon blade, so blocking and the short game felt really easy to do
That said, since I was coming from an inner carbon blade myself, it felt a bit lacking to me and I didn't end up using it, but there's no doubt it's a really easy blade to use.

For the short game, even with a tension rubber it stops well and stays nicely controlled. Flicks are spot-on too
Topspin drives have plenty of both speed and spin, and placement is easy too
It handles every kind of serve without a hitch
Best of all, with the head-heavy balance, it's easy to put power into every single shot!
I want everyone to try this at least once.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This is the blade Wang Liqin used to use back in the day.
Makes sense that it pairs great with tacky rubbers, given a Chinese player used it.
That normally hard-feeling Hurricane rubber becomes mellow and easy to use on this blade.That said, it also pairs well with tension rubbers, making it a real all-rounder.
Morizono, for instance, used tension rubber on both sides with it.I think the defining feature of this blade is the blade surface itself.
It's noticeably bigger than the regular size from other manufacturers.
This helps stabilize techniques like blocking.As a 5-ply blade, the flight is seriously wild.
That said, it's not so much that you can't handle it, so I think it's a great fit for people who find carbon blades fly too much to use.
It's better suited to players who compete through spin and placement rather than pure speed.
The downside is that the bigger surface tends to make it heavier as well.
Also the grip is a bit different from the standard Japanese flare shape, so opinions on that might be split.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

I heard that Masataka Morizono uses this blade, so I put on the same rubber he uses. After hitting with it, I think it's a really well-balanced blade overall. The grip felt pretty thick to me though.
So I can't really recommend it if you're not a fan of thick grips...
Some people might think it's pricey for a wood blade, but if you've got the budget, I'd definitely say give it a try.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

It doesn't bounce on its own, so the short game is really easy to play. But it's a high-performance racket that bounces solidly when you hit hard. It flexes a lot, so it's very easy to put spin on the ball. I'd recommend it whether you use tacky rubber or tension rubber.
