So…my wife got me a DHS Hurricane 301 blade for Christmas.

As best as I can determine, the 301 composition is:

Outer: Koto (apparently a very thin ply)
Inner 2: Ayous
Inner 1: Arylate Carbon (thinner than most)
Core: Ayous

I outfitted the 301 with DHS Gold Arc 8 – 47.5 (2.0mm) and Tibar 5Q VIP (2.1mm). I didn’t expect to like/bond with the Gold Arc 8 but I’m finding it very complimentary to this blade. I’ve researched the Hurricane 301 and the prevailing claim was that this blade has many gears. I concur- this blade has some gears. Soft, touch shots in the short game are easy to place with precision. Hard strokes can generate some rockets that I could never do with my Yasaka Sweeden Extra / Rakza setup. The only downfall is that I have not been able to generate as much rotation with the 301 setup as with the YSE, but it’s not far off.

The Tibar 5Q VIP is fine but I’m not so sure it’s great for this blade. I’m already looking to replace it with something that will make it easier to extract spin out of this blade. I was wondering what a softer topsheet would be like and thought Aurus Prime…but that could be completely wrong. Then, the sensible voice tells me I’m still just an improving club player and should go with something tamer like Yasaka Mark V HPS.

Have you used a DHS Hurricane 301 or a similarly constructed blade? What rubber do you like on it?

Here is a list of rubber used on the DHS 301 by Table Tennis Data Base/revspin.net posters:

Of this list, I can tell you DHS Gold Arc 8 is a winner and I love Rakza 7 but haven’t tried it on this blade. Nittaku Fastarc G-1 is intriguing and I’m so not ready for Tenergy 05.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your response!

I was surprised at how easy this racket was to adapt to coming off the Yasaka Sweeden Extra.

I’ve been using H301 for almost an year. Used several rubbers as focus3snipe, Palio AK47 red, yellow and blue. With the palio rubbers, its the lightest setup ever used and very efficient on looping with out catapult. But as I progressed in my game, changed the rubbers to Xiom Vega Europe for FH, 729 focus3 plus on BH. It added slight weight overall, but it turned out to be good as I’m able to generate more spin on FH.

The worst rubber I had on H301 was yinhe moon speed. Couldn’t spin the ball at all.

I’ve seen players from revspin, ttd sharing their experiences with H301 and Xiom Vega Europe, liking it. So far, I don’t have any complaints with this setup.

However the handle was too thin for me. In the beginning it felt good but used to slip as my hands get sweaty. So wrapped yinhe shrinkable grip.

If I had a 301 blade I would try Vega Europe in BH and a heavily boosted H3 Neo in FH.

I have since switched to Rakza 7 and Tibhar MX-S. I like both of these over my original setup. (Gold Arc 8 and Tibhar 5Q VIP) The only knock on MX-S is that it can be very bouncy against very high spin rate loop drives. One reviewer on TT11 really liked Victas VJ > 07 Stiff (it had replaced and exceeded Rakza 7 for him).
