Package just arrived today, detail pictures and review will come in the upcoming days or week ;-)

B1 is 7 ply all wood
B2 is Inner ALC structure just like Long 5, but with a tad smaller head shape and harder surface.



Don't ask me why the H2, my TT buddy just like it and he's planning to have it on the B2. For B1, I'll use either H3 or TG2 for forehand.


The two blades side by side, B1 on the left, B2 on the right.

Lookin good!  I'm interested to learn how they play - I would expect the BO 2 to be pretty similar to the Hurricane Long 5, which I love, but a little lighter which is a plus.   By the way, where did you get these?  I noticed the BO 2 is currently available at prott.cc but not in many other places....

More pictures:





The "Bo" chinese character is printed on the transparent wrapping instead of on the blade itself.


Typical DHS design, the player's picture at the end of the handle


I might have the fifth in production for this early batch of Hurricane Bo!

Sorry for slightly off topic, from your descritpions, this seems to be aligned with what DHS has announced with the 2 changes on their commerical Hurricane series balde (including 506, Hurricane Long, etc).

1. There would be no print on the blade surface, the serial number would no longer be at the shoulder, and will be moved to the handle.  Aim to make the commercial version look similar to the professional version.

2. The blade surface would be reduced, from 160x150 to 156x148.  Aim to make it less heavy, feel more balanced, etc.  

I do have the article with me from Table Tennis World on this.  Would you be able to comment on the head size and the weight of your B2?

OldSchool: similar price to prott, turns out they have pretty good price on this blade being a reseller

Surprisingly cheap considering a Long 5 is 150$, I ordered one from Prott.cc to try it out.

I've put on an old reboosted TG3 on FH and Mark V on BH with the B1.

In general, the B1 is a ALL++ blade at most, and the throw is high. You can feel the ball stays and it won't shoot out quick. The speed is good if you like to keep steady and safe rally. I might put a newer 40 or 41 degree H3 on it for another run, the old TG3 probably is too soft since it is being reboosted so many times.

Haven't tried the B2 yet, my friend is still prepping the blade and boosting his rubber for it.

My friend tried B2. He said it was quite like the Long 5 in all aspects but a lil bit harder.

Just tried mine from 1 week ago. Feeling is more like an all wood clipper, good control on short balls, and blocks. Drives are solid and have good pace, doesn't top out like clipper. Looping is where this blade excels. It is a looper's dream machine. Classic limba feel, grabs the ball well and very linear response. If you like the old style wood blades but need more power, this is IT!

Are the blades that prott are selling authentic? 

I don't quite understand this seller. He is selling fake clothes, but authentic blades?

There is no other where to buy these Bo blades. I hope TT11 can stock them soon.

Fang Bo used to play with clipper?

It has KOto top layer, not limba. But it feels like limba. Surprised.

B2 is the best deal among ALC from any of Sponsored Players Blade . BO 2, has an excellent control , good feeling of ball and it generate an tremendous power when you loop out push. DHS gets it a breakthrough in price .
