Power-G PG3T
DHS Power-G PG3T is a hybrid carbon table tennis blade crafted for aggressive all-round offensive players. Its 5+2 ALC construction places two layers of Aryl-Carbon composite near the Ayous core, sandwiched between Koto and Limba wood plies. This design balances rigidity and flexibility, delivering a smooth feel that enables high-quality shots with moderate power. Ideal for players who rely on powerful topspin and fast counterattacks, it offers a blend of speed and control that supports versatile offensive tactics.
The 5+2 ALC construction features two layers of Aryl-Carbon composite material situated on either side of the Ayous core, sandwiched between outer layers of Koto and Limba. This arrangement aims to provide a blend of stiffness from the carbon and flexibility from the wood, contributing to both speed and feel.

✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
PG3T is classified as an Offensive++ blade, indicating high speed potential. The Aryl-Carbon layers significantly enhance its capabilities, allowing for powerful drives and smashes. It excels in fast-paced offensive play, making it a top pick for aggressive attackers who rely on quick, forceful shots.
Despite its offensive nature, PG3T offers commendable control. The hybrid construction, with carbon layers near the core, helps dampen excessive vibration and maintain feel. This allows players to execute precise shots and stay consistent during fast rallies, balancing power with accuracy.
PG3T delivers a fine smooth hand feel, blending rigidity and flexibility. While there's some vibration, it's manageable and not overly harsh, providing a good connection to the ball for responsive play.
The combination of speed-oriented materials and a somewhat flexible structure results in a medium-high throw angle. This is beneficial for executing powerful, spinny topspin shots, especially from mid-distance.
The Aryl-Carbon layers contribute to a medium dwell time, allowing sufficient ball contact to impart spin without slowing down the game. This balance is crucial for modern offensive play, enabling spin generation while maintaining speed.
This blade strikes a balance between stiffness and flexibility. Carbon layers provide rigidity for power, while wood plies allow some flex to aid spin generation and control during strokes, creating a versatile response.
Vibration is moderate, with the ALC layers near the core and wood plies helping to dampen harsh feedback. It offers a balanced feel between direct feedback and comfort, making it suitable for extended sessions.
PG3T features good build quality with well-assembled materials and a smooth finish. The durability is solid for its price point, providing a pleasant tactile experience that holds up well over time, making it a reliable choice for regular play.
Technology
DHS Power-G PG3T utilizes a 5+2 ALC (Aryl-Carbon) composite construction, with Aryl-Carbon layers strategically placed adjacent to the core wood ply. This design enhances speed and power through the stiffness and lightness of carbon fiber, while placement near the core preserves flexibility and feel. The technology prevents the blade from becoming too stiff, allowing for aggressive offensive play with good control and spin generation, making it a versatile tool for modern tactics.
