TG-7 P
DHS TG-7 P is a 7-ply all-wood blade engineered for aggressive players who demand a potent mix of power and control. It leverages 'High Pressure Ballonet' technology to reduce energy loss and boost elasticity, creating a responsive platform for loop and fast-attack styles. This blade provides a balanced feel that excels at generating heavy spin while delivering direct, powerful shots, making it a reliable choice for players who want to dictate the pace from any position on the table.
The blade uses a symmetrical 7-ply construction. Limba wood forms the outer layers, providing good spin and a direct feel. The five inner plies are made of Ayous wood, which contributes to the blade's overall speed, lightness, and structural stiffness. This classic configuration is designed for offensive play.
TT Sensei Ratings
✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Rated 8.0 for speed, the TG-7 P is classified as an OFF++ blade, indicating high speed potential perfect for aggressive attacking play. The 7-ply construction and 'High Pressure Ballonet' technology work together to enhance offensive capabilities, making it especially effective for powerful loop drives and fast attacks.
The TG-7 P offers solid precision and manageability for an offensive blade. You can execute controlled shots, place the ball accurately, and perform tactical maneuvers effectively, even when employing aggressive strokes, thanks to its well-balanced design.
The combination of Limba outer plies and the 7-ply construction results in a medium-hard feel. This provides a direct, crisp connection to the ball while retaining enough flex to aid in spin generation, with the 'High Pressure Ballonet' technology potentially adding a unique layer of responsiveness.
The offensive nature of the blade and its Limba outer plies contribute to a medium-high throw angle. This is advantageous for looping, helping the ball clear the net with significant topspin and arc.
The TG-7 P offers a medium to medium-high dwell time. This characteristic is beneficial for generating heavy spin on loops, as it allows the ball to stay on the blade surface longer. The 7-ply structure with Limba outer layers is key to achieving this desirable trait.
The blade exhibits medium flexibility, striking a good compromise between the stiffness needed for power and the flex required for spin and feel. This makes it effective for both powerful loops and controlled attacking shots.
Vibration level is moderate, providing clear feedback to the player without being excessively jarring. This balance allows you to feel ball contact distinctly, which aids in shot execution and overall control during play.
The TG-7 P is generally perceived to have good to excellent build quality. Our community of players often praises its high performance, and TTSensei experts note DHS's strong manufacturing standards, particularly in handle finishing and edge smoothness, which contribute to its durability and overall player satisfaction.
Technology
The DHS TG-7 P incorporates 'High Pressure Ballonet' technology. This specialized manufacturing process creates an integrative structure within the inner wood plies, forming a 'ballonet' designed to reduce energy wastage and enhance elasticity. The result is a blade with well-balanced characteristics, offering high rates of both speed and control to support aggressive, attacking play.
Similar Blades
DHS TG-7 CP2
The DHS TG-7 CP2 is a similar 7-ply blade from the same series, also featuring 'high pressure ballonet' technology for offensive play. A key difference is its use of ebony wood outer layers, compared to the TG-7 P's Limba, which can create a distinct feel. It is also noted to be slightly thinner.
DHS Power G7
The DHS Power G7 is another 7-ply all-wood blade with a similar construction of Limba outer plies and Ayous inner plies. The primary differences are its slightly thinner profile and potentially lighter weight compared to the TG-7 P, which may appeal to players seeking a similar offensive character with a different physical balance.
