Similar Blades
DHS Hurricane H-WL
DHS Hurricane H-WL is another 5-ply all-wood blade from the Hurricane series frequently compared to the H-WH. While both are designed for offensive play with good control, the H-WL is generally considered faster and potentially better suited for players who prefer extreme topspin from medium to long distances. Associated with Wang Liqin, it offers a slightly different performance profile within the same family of blades.
DHS Hurricane 301
DHS Hurricane 301 represents a more modern approach with its 5+2 composite construction featuring arylate carbon layers. While the H-WH is all-wood, the 301 offers significantly more speed and power due to its composite materials. Both share an offensive plus classification, but the 301 serves advanced players looking for higher power output and a more modern blade feel.
