Mine came in at 5.81mm, 89g. Visually stunning blade, handle is high quality and comfortable. I am using H3N National blue sponge FH boosted with Kailin, Gold Arc 8 47.5 BH. Amazing control in the short game around the net and in the service game. Forehand drives and loops are fast and spinny, even when 2-3m from table. Compared to W968/Long 5X, FH looping with the acb feels marginally worse far from table (2-3m+), and the 'kick' of the topspin on the opponent's side isn't as prominent, but loops are still dangerous and fast, with a beautiful crisp sound, however the arc is a bit lower than other blades I have played with. BH blocks and punches feel significantly easier and more responsive compared to inner blades like W968, and it is also much easier to hit 'through' the blade, whilst feeling extremely stable. However, as it is still an inner fiber blade blocking is not as comfortably fast as outer blades such as TB ALC or Viscaria, but it is by far the best inner blade in this regard as it has a koto outer layer. Overall, the Hurricane ACB is an amazing blade with fast FH loops and a crisp and stable BH, whilst also providing plenty of control around the net. Recommend pairing with a boosted H3 or tacky hybrid on the FH, and a softer ESN/hybrid with a bit more catapult on the BH. Perfect blade for those looking for a balanced blade in both wings, with an amazing feel and crisp feel.

Excellent beautiful base, very comfortable handle, despite the inner layer it is quite fast, very controllable, not flexible. I liked it. worth a try!

Un bois tres simple a comprendre..voici un produit dhs qui mériterait plus d attention si vous êtes des joueurs qui désirent un bois avec justement une sensation. Bois mais avec ce Clic carbon très facile a comprendre été a prendre en main. Il faut déjà commencer par dire que ce vois ce jouera uniquement avec des revêtements prévisibles. Oubliez les plaque a effet tensor ou a double vitesse. Test d' un blustorm pro , trop imprévisible , j ai testé aussi un rakza z extra hard , trop inconstant pour mon niveau et trip dure a exploiter pour toutes les variations de jeu .. testé aussi tenergy 05 hard , trop incontrôlable , trop raide et trop nerveux. Toutes ses plaque de coups droits sont mevielluses ais pas pour mon niveau en coup droit. En revers , g1 en max , trop pâteux , hammond z2 trop explosif même si le feeling est super . Alors voilà , j ai décidé de poser dessus deux revêtement très linéaire avec aucune double vitesse ou aucune accroche tacky afin de laisser la fluidité maximal au bois . J ai dessus un victas ventus extra en max coup droit et un vivants v15 stiff revers en max aussi . Depuis cette configuration , je peux dire que le mariage est parfais , le king est contrôlable en jeu lancé, très facile en top rotation , très sur en bloc et déconcertant de facilité en service court malgré le victas extra très rapide. . Ce mariage vous permettra de d accompagner la balle avec vos gestes sans jamais avoir l'impression que la raquette n est trop rapide pour vous . Pour ceux qui connaissent le ma long 3 et le feeling très précis et agréable , je vous présente le ma long 3 boosté en gardant les mêmes sensations en étant un peu moins sec et beaucoup rapide lors des top spin frappés . Un pur plaisir pour ceux qui veulent retrouver du feeling , de l équilibre, du control et et surtout de l'assurance dans le jeu . A mon avis 50 degrés max ne coup droit et 47.5 en revers . Bon ping

(Context: Penhold w/RPB) I used this blade with TG2 Prov. BS 40 deg 2.1mm on the fh and H8-80 38 deg 2.1mm on the bh, boosted with 3 and 2 layers of seamoon respectively. I came to this blade from the B2X with the same rubbers, looking for a blade with similar bh characteristics, but with ML5 fh characteristics, especially in the control department, and I can say with confidence that this blade achieves just that. On the forehand, the blade is slower than the B2X by about 10%, but in exchange is 15% more controlled, the arc of the ball is much less erratic and easier to control, while still maintaining speed in low to medium power shots. This makes rallying from close to the table and mid-distance far more stable than the B2X, but requires more power from around the 3 meter mark. 3rd ball attacks are less powerful than the B2X, but the added stability for the 5th ball onward translates far better in games. But on the backhand, it is only about 5% slower, and 10% more controlled. 3rd and 5th ball attacks still pack the same punch as the B2X, just more stable. On both wings, counters are overall easier to perform, blocking is more crisp and stable thanks to the koto outer veneer, and is 5-10% more flexible than the B2X, giving a bit more dwell and arc for flicks and control for touch shots. Serving is also easier to keep short and produce heavy spin. This blade is perfectly suited to male intermediate to advanced players between the ages of 12-40 who have a good physique, chinese technique and require a dependable and consistent two-winged weapon that makes use of their strength, however, it may lack power for female and elderly players with bad technique. Overall, I would say that this blade is the closest thing you're realistically gonna get to a viscaria bh and ML5 fh, and anyone who is interested in buying this blade should honestly give it a go, I have a hard time imagining that anyone would regret purchasing a blade as well balanced as this.

90.5 gr. Nice looking. Fine handle, not too thin, not too thick. Sharp edges. Very soft top layer, the softest Koto I've seen. I immediately lacquered it since I doubt it would survive changing rubbers. Rubbers: Sanwei New Target National, Sanwei Gear Hyper. / Hurricane 3 Provincial BS 40°, Hurricane 8 37°. The blade's fast, but not extremely fast. The arc is long and low. Playing with softer rubbers feels better. The good: When the blade touches the ball, it spins the ball. It imparts a lot of spin, and does so effortlessly. It plays confidently at higher speeds and from further away from the table. If I press down actively on blocks, they're quite fast and threatening. Very good directional control, left or right, the ball goes where you direct it. The bad: When playing with the softer Sanwei rubbers, I had to immediately jump 2 meters back because of the long arc. The blade can't play flat hits; can't play close to the table, it either overshoots or returns soft balls. My drives go out, so I need to do some sort of mini loop if I want to touch the ball over the table — jump over, close the angle, spin the ball forward somehow, jump back. The blade provokes very long strokes. I struggle against slow balls. I struggle smashing lobbed balls if the ball is over the table. On softer touches with softer rubbers there is a sudden kick. Probably the inner carbon gets activated unexpectedly. I haven't figured out how to add power. The blade offers speed and spin, but all that is somehow not very threatening. Probably intensive body work and acceleration are needed for power. Final thoughts: I feel I play loops for the sake of loops, arcs for the sake of arcs; no confidence in the blade against slow flat balls. I'll consider this blade is for advanced players who can loop anything and can add their own power actively. Currently, though, I'm disappointed. The blade seems unbalanced and limited to a single style of play. I wish I'd got Yinhe 970 XX-C for the money.
