About Hurricane Hao 2

DHS Hurricane Hao 2 is a 2019 5+2 ALC inner table tennis blade made in China. It is ITTF-approved, classed offensive (OFF), and uses inner Arylate-Carbon (ALC) closer to the core — more dwell than outer ALC, less harsh on the first touch.

Factory figures: typical weight 88 g, thickness 6 mm. Handles listed: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Construction label Inner ALC (5+2 ALC inner). Offensive close-to-table and mid-distance topspin is the intended game.

Combined index: speed 90, control 86, stiffness 82 (official mapping 90 / 86 / 82). Inner-fibre blades typically feel a little rounder than the outer-fibre equivalent at the same speed.

Community score 8.5 / 10 from 20 reviews. Indicative European street price €160. Compare Hurricane Hao 2 with other inner alc OFF blades on TableTennisReview.

Handles

Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.

  • Flared (FL)
  • Straight (ST)
  • Anatomic (AN)
Flared (FL)
The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
Straight (ST)
A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
Anatomic (AN)
An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
