I bought this same paddle 2 years and found it to be a nice paddle but not worth the price.I wouldn't have bought it a second time but Amazon is very limited when it comes to their stock of pen-hold paddles.So here I am 2 years later and not much has changed with the product except the finish is worse. It comes in a beautiful box with 2 balls and a container to carry your paddle in.So starting with the paddle, the rubbers look good, nice and tacky. Very nice handle with decorative coloured inlays.Unfortunately it goes downhill from there. Garish glossy tape has been stuck around the edge of the paddle which cheapens the look of it. Just took it out of the box and already part of the tape is peeling off and parts of it are puckering up, ( see images ). I think it would have been better to leave the tape off and stain the edges of the wood.As for the cover to carry the paddle in, I was really disappointed. At first glance I thought it was a tin box but after taking it out I found it was a stiff bag that had been painted silver. All I can say about it is that it is big and ugly and I will be throwing it in the dust bin.I think they could have cut the price in half for this paddle and just offered a nice cloth paddle bag and dispensed with the fancy shipping box.

I have three different models of penhold DHS rackets each at different price points. I like this Hurricane model best, but it was hard for me to tell how much better it was than the other two below it.

The racket has a very sticky surface. I was worried when I got it. I realized its expected after seeing others review. It took a few practices to get used to the racket. It spines the ball great, definitely help to improve the performance. The racket is slight on the light side. Overall, I am happy with the purchase.

Greetings,I’m writing you with heavy heart. Recently, I was married and, in my recent nuptials, inherited a ten year old boy. This boy is quite the odd fellow. He isn’t much for sports or academics. In an effort to get him out of the house more often (so newlyweds can practice what the Lord above intended) so I bought him one of your paddles: the DHS Hurricane. Eager as a high-schooler on prom night, the moment the package arrived, I shoved him out the door (box in hand) and pointed him toward the direction of the local community center.As we’re rounding second base, we are interrupted by the slobbery sobbing of the ten year old. Apparently, he arrived to the community center eager to test out the new hardware only to be thwarted by the overwhelming smell of what I can only describe as a 5 gallon drum of rotten fish. Immediately (and frustratingly), I threw the paddle into the backyard and washed the child’s hands with industrial dish soap. After three thorough washings and some skin loss, he is just now starting to not smell like a fish market. As for the paddle, I have hosed it off, soaked it in bleach, and hung it on our laundering line.Surely, we cannot be the first to comment on the overwhelming stench of this product. Is fish sauce an ancient secret to paddle rubber adhesion? Does it grant some sort of secret looping ability? Does the smell alone distract opponents in such a way to guarantee defeat?Please help me understand,An eager stepfather(PS - now this is for real: the paddle is really great. And it really does smell really bad and the sellers could not offer any solace. But I enjoy the game very much with this paddle...my opponents just don't like to shake my hand after our games.)

I'll just say that I played with this paddle for the first time against a co-worker who I'm relatively on the same playing level as, and smashed him the first two times with it. The 3rd game we switched paddles, and he beat me pretty handidly. Needless to say, this thing makes a world of difference in upping your performance. Definitely recommended for advanced/intermediate players. The control and grip is a huge upgrade over the standard rubber paddles. It also comes at a reasonable price for what you're getting.I couldn't be more happy with it, and can't wait to play with it some more!

Agreed, the handle would be too short for shake-hand grip. Also, make sure to generously sand down the edges, or you will hurt your pointer finger (mine was going completely numb even after I sanded it only a little). But now that it's dialed in for my hand shape, I am getting great control of the ball.

I've been playing table tennis for a couple months, and was getting tired of using the cheap paddle I bought from Sports Authority. So I wanted to step up my game a bit, and take it a little more seriously. I decided on this, and don't regret it. Awesome paddle. When I opened it up, I was impressed. Nice package, nice case, nice TT balls, and of course, great paddle. The paddle looks beautiful. After taking off the thin plastic cover on the rubber, it felt very tacky. So I figured, this is a MILLION times better than the old paddle I was using. When I finally played, it took a little while getting used to it. I was so used to using paddles with a shakehand handle and this was my first time holding a dedicated penhold paddle. Before buying this paddle, I thought about the fact that I may not like penhold as I progress and might want to go back to shakehand, and figured you would still be able to hold this paddle with a shakehand grip.. wrong. It would feel too short, so if you want to be penhold, you should be sure of it. Once you're used to it, playing is fluid. The rubber puts a lot of spin on the ball. It may be the rubber or maybe the paddle, but when you hit the ball hard, it sounds like you cracked the ball. I thought that was interesting. After a little over a month of using it, the rubber has significantly lost some of it's tackiness, even thought I always clean it after playing.Summary: Buy it, improve, win.
