Hurricane Long 5 W968
A W968-grade wood blade in the Hurricane Long 5 line used by Ma Long. Same base as the Golden Slam edition but a separate product, shipped with a per-unit lab-tested weight and thickness on the box (90.0g / 6.02mm on this unit — individual blades vary slightly).
Performance
DHS official positioning map (scale maximum not published)The manufacturer does not publish a maximum for these figures. This chart therefore uses the actual range of its own published values across the same family as the ends of each axis. It shows relative position within that family, not an absolute score, and because the origin is not zero the differences look larger than they are. See the manufacturer figures below for the exact numbers.
About this product
A Hurricane Long 5-series blade in W968-grade timber, the construction associated with Ma Long. 7 plies (5 wood plus 2 arylate-carbon sheets), inner build, 6.02mm, 90g — the box carries an individual lab-tested weight and thickness for that specific unit, so other units may vary slightly.
At ₩800,000 this is the most expensive DHS blade on this site. W968 is a high grade within DHS’s own timber-grading system (associated with Ma Long’s national-team equipment), and graded timber still carries meaningful unit-to-unit variance even when it isn’t single-ply — worth weighing against the price.
What the numbers say
Inner 5-ply + 2 Arylate-Carbon plies (W968 grade wood) 6.02mm. Its control of 10.0 ranks 1 of 14 blades, among the very highest. Its reaction, by contrast, is 5.3 — on the low side. Based on the manufacturer’s published figures.
