One blade, drawn as technical linework at real shakehand proportions. The laminated edge along the crown and right rim exposes every ply boundary in the stack. Edge depth is illustrative because physical veneer thickness is not published.

Stack order — face A to face B
- 01AyousOuter ply
Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot.
- 02SpruceMedial ply
Stiff, resonant core wood — fast energy return with a clear, high-pitched feedback.
- 03Limba — coreCore
Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes.
- 04SpruceMedial ply
Stiff, resonant core wood — fast energy return with a clear, high-pitched feedback.
- 05AyousOuter ply
Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot.

Note: Wang Hao's first signature blade; all wood. Ayous outer plies, spruce medials, limba core (tabletennisspot.com and TTSensei teardowns independently agree).
About this blade
DHS Hurricane Hao is a 5-ply blade built around an all-wood stack, with Ayous on the playing surface and a Limba core. Ayous in the outer layer: Very light medial or core wood — keeps the blade low in weight and widens the sweet spot. Spruce in the medial layer: Stiff, resonant core wood — fast energy return with a clear, high-pitched feedback. Limba in the core: Soft, open-grained outer veneer — long dwell, a wooden feel and easy spin on slow strokes. Physically it measures 5.6 mm thick, around 89 g. DHS positions it for off play.
TTDNA ratings

Construction
Material properties
Playing profile
A TTDNA blade rating measures how much of the named characteristic a blade has. For descriptive rows — flex, stiffness, vibration, head heaviness, weight, thickness, carbon feel, softness, technique requirement, spin sensitivity — a higher number means more, not better.
TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology
