🏓 DHS Hurricane W968 (National Version) — Complete Technical Description The DHS Hurricane W968 is the National Team–exclusive, hand‑selected, hand‑tuned, inner‑ALC blade used by Ma Long. It is the pinnacle of DHS blade engineering: Maximum stability Maximum consistency Maximum power Maximum dwell time Zero vibration irregularities Every W968 is individually tuned for National Team athletes. This is the highest‑performing inner‑carbon blade in the world . 🔬 Construction & Materials ⭐ Ply Structure (5+2 Inner‑ALC) The W968 uses the same theoretical composition as the HL5, but with National‑grade materials : Outer: Koto Second: Ayous Carbon Layer: Inner ALC (Arylate‑Carbon) Core: Ayous (National‑grade, ultra‑consistent density) What makes W968 different from HL5? Even though the structure looks similar, the W968 is not the same blade. The differences are massive: 1. National‑grade wood selection Tighter grain Higher elasticity More uniform density Zero dead spots 2. National‑grade ALC Higher tensile strength More consistent rebound Better vibration control 3. Hand‑tuned core thickness Slightly thicker than HL5 More stable More powerful Longer trajectory 4. Individual blade tuning Each W968 is: Measured Balanced Weight‑matched Flex‑tuned Rebound‑tested This is why no two W968s are identical , but all are elite.
