My first impression hitting with this blade was how high-pitched the sound is.
Also, even with a slightly tacky rubber on it, the ball comes off really quickly, yet instead of flying flat, it still arcs nicely.
I put a fairly soft rubber on my backhand, which worried me a bit, but it turned out to be exactly right - chiquita is really easy to do, and the rubber compensates for how quickly the ball leaves the blade. As someone who normally uses pips, I found this really easy to use.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard

DHS released the Hurricane Sa, and I liked the purple design - plus I'm a fan of Sun Yingsha - so I decided to just go ahead and buy it.
The racket weighs 94g with a board thickness of 6mm.
Hearing it was an inner blade, I expected it to grip the ball and spin heavily, but when I actually played with it, the feel was closer to an outer blade.
Maybe because the core ply is thicker, the ball comes off fast and it's easy to generate ball speed, but oddly enough it still produces a nice arc - a strange blade in that sense.
Out of everything I've played with, it felt closest to blades like the Dynasty Carbon or Carbonado 145 - ones that snap the ball off fast but somehow still arc. (Maybe that's because Sun Yingsha originally used the Carbonado 45, so it makes sense it would feel similar.)
Against backspin, whether driving or countering, even light hits turned into clean winners.
It also gets good distance from mid-distance and away from the table, so I never lost out in topspin rallies either.
The grip shape is the same slim type as other DHS blades like the Long 5, which made it easy to swing through on my forehand.
The average weight for this racket is around 90g, but I often see heavier units, and the head is on the larger side too, so I think you definitely need to keep the weight in mind.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I bought the Gladius AR.
It weighed 90g.
The outer ply looks like limba, so I figured it would play like a Freitas ALC-type blade, but apparently the core ply is built thicker,
and the bounce was actually quite strong.
Because of that, the ball comes off fast, and I felt like I could hit with real power.
In the short game too, the quick ball release let me play aggressively, and I was able to take control of the rally.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little hard

I bought the Koki Niwa Inner, which had a delayed release.
The blade alone weighed 87g, pretty much matching the catalog spec.
Since it uses hinoki, I expected a good balance of distance and ball hold,
but the ball came off so fast it made me wonder if it was really an inner — it felt hard to get any grip on the ball.
The closest comparison might be the Hurricane Sa (颯).
On the plus side, it's plenty fast, so it's great for players who like to drive straight through the ball.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Hard

This time I hit with the Hybrid K2 Pro in black Max.
This is a switch from K3 Pro.
Before that I used Omega 7 China Kage for about a year.
It weighs about 50g, which I'd call average or maybe a touch light for its sponge hardness.It carries the Hybrid K series name, but the direction of this rubber is quite different from the K3 or 1J.
With the other rubbers in the line, the image is a tension rubber with tackiness added to increase grip and spin and keep the ball from dropping, but the K2 Pro feels more like tension applied to a tacky base — there's a difference in that the tension seems added to boost usability and distance.It's not as much as the Kage version, but the ball still comes out with a fair amount of unpredictable movement, and it gave opponents' blocks trouble, sending them long or dropping them short in ways they couldn't control.
For serves and hitting against backspin, it's not a rubber where you grip the ball tightly and rip it, or hold and pull; instead it has a crisp, snappy feel where the spin comes from the ball releasing quickly, and I feel the spin amount dropped a bit, though that might come down to swing style and personal preference.
If anything, I'd recommend this to people switching from Hurricane who want more distance and easier handling; switching from a normal tension rubber might feel like it has a bit too much tackiness.Overall Speed Spin Control Hardness Little hard
