Sanwei SP 968

As the name suggests, this blade is clearly based on the "DHS Hurricane Long 5." This means it is a blade featuring an inner carbon layer and a slightly oversized head from 160 x 150 mm. Surface material: Limba wood, 2. layer: Spruce, Fiber: Built-in ALC Arylate Carbon, core: Ayous. Number of layers: 7 layers (5 wood + 2 fiber) Head Thickness: 5,93 mm. I bought this blade on AliExpress ("Sweetheart Pet Store") just under two months ago for €40. ... it comes in a very pretty box! ;P My selected blade weighs 90.4 grams (including the protective film), resulting in a net weight of 88.6 grams. My recommendation for this blade: deburr the slightly sharp edges with some sandpaper and, most importantly, seal the blade surface !!! I have been playing a copy of the Viscaria SALC from Lemuria for quite some time now and accordingly, I applied the same rubbers to this blade: Donic Bluestar A2 (max thickness) on the forehand and a Victas Ventus Stiff (1,8) on the backhand. What was immediately noticeable was that this blade is significantly faster, harder and also more head-heavy. I have played a few replicas with this structure in the past, but none were like this one. For someone with my playing level, finding the right rubbers for "this rocket" could be a challenge! ;-P - But I'm not giving up yet. ... maybe later! Sequel follows... :-D
