There are 14 users using the DHS Hurricane Long 3.
The blade everyone is looking for, and it is used by world champion Ma Long! It is a 7-ply blade, producing greater power and steady handling. Construction quality is top notch by DHS. Blade has a large sweet spot that might just be the secret why Ma Long's loop is fast and furious! Each blade comes with its own certificate with serial number.
On the blade I'm using double happiness hurricane 3 neo on my forehand and yasaka Mark V on my back hand. When I was first hitting with the blade i noticed the ball bounced off my racket quite easily, and the blade had a very very very large sweet spot. Now the blade retails for around 200 USD. Now is it worth it? Let's find out.

-serves, pushes, loops, counterloops, topspin drives, counter drives, smashes, blocks: every aspect of what you want to do to the ball, it will develop a tremendous amount of spin.
Looping

-again amazing, giving your opponent drives with this blade is like performing the power of ma long. Absolutely perfect.
Touch shots
- Even though this blade is marketed for an off++ blade, it's touch shots is still great, pushes give lots of spin, and blocks are effective as well.

Pas de question a ce poser ..
Le meilleur bois 7 plis et certainement l'un des meilleur toutes catégories réunies même les carbones ..
C est le seul bois qui suit le rythme que vous voulez donner à l échange ..
Jamais d incohérence lorsque vous décidez de jouer un coup ..
Il donne un temps de pause a la balle pour les tops rotations et il accélère au moment où vous le décidez ..
Ma sensation la plus impressionnante est l'impression que la raquette s enroule autour de la balle et la projete comme vous le pensez ..
Seule cette lame est capable de le faire ..
Le control est all+ le la vitesse est off .
Mxs coup droit en 2mm ,, victas sticky extra en revers et c est génial ..
Mon revers étant pas bon j ai mis un revêtement lent et dur et je contrôle toutes les balles ,, proches ou moins de la table ..
Alors ,, ceux qui veulent vraiment progresser et être enfin régulier ,, pas une minute à perdre ,, achetez le ..
This is an outstanding 7 ply wood blade and one of the best offensive wood blades that you can buy. It's very well balanced with enough speed and excellent control and feel. I would put the speed rating in the Off-/Off range which is plenty fast for me. My blade is 6.4mm thick which I think is perfect to allow great blocks and hits while still being flexible enough to also be great at looping. Some 7 ply wood blades in the 6.7-7.0mm range, while great at blocking and hitting, are just too stiff for my looping focused game. Thinner wood blades in the 5.8-6.0mm range loop like a dream but their blocking and hitting accuracy leave something to be desired. This blade can do it all, and do it all well. If you prefer the feel and sensation of a wood blade vs a composite blade but want a blade that can perform as well as the best ALC blades, look no further. Highly recommended.
The Hurricane Long 3 is a well-balanced 7-ply blade: fast, not too hard, not too soft, excellent feedback upon ball impact, and high levels of control, which instill a feeling that every shot being possible. To draw some comparisons, players who base their games on consistent loops will prefer the Hurricane Long 3, whereas hitters and blockers will gravitate towards Tibhar Samsonov Force Pro Black Edition. Players looking for blades that are faster than classic 5-ply limba/ayous all-wood blades or provide more feeling than modern composite blades while maintaining high-speed levels, will feel right at home with the Hurricane Long 3.

For the last 4 years I played with Butterfly Innerforce ZLC blade, using BF Tenergy 05 on fh and BF Tenergy 05fx on bh. Few months ago I purchased Long 3 and used it with the same rubbers. It was too bouncy in the beginning and more powerful then ZLC. I lack control in close game and I left it in the bag and used it at practice sessions as the spare bat, occasionally. However, with the recent switch to the plastic balls I found ZLC to lack power. I tried Long 3 and never looked back. For some reason Long 3 just suits the game with plastic balls much better. In our club we use HSF seamless balls, which are very good by the way. Long 3 is great blade when you master it. I've been playing with it for the last 2 months. Control is very good, due to limba out layer. Actually it is very similar composition to Innerforce ZLC. Both blades are 7 ply blades made of limba and ayous wood. The main difference is zylon carbon layers in ZLC and Long 3 being all wood blade. It is great for hitting and playing away from the table. Touch game needs practice but once it's mastered is very good too. There is no vibration, blocking is easy and loops are as good as your technique allows it. So if you are looking for more powerful but still controllable blade and you are coming from limba/ayoys blades (like Innerforce ZLC, Petr Korbel, Primorac and even Mizutani Jun or Maze) it will be easy up-grade for you. Enjoy it.
