+ I feel this blade is great in many aspect.
+ Looks durable, hit table couple times no dent yet.
+ Lacquering service is just perfect, thanks T11.
Objective:
- (Head is big as I know) So Head heavy blade, needs to get used to it or choosing thinner sponge and lighter rubbers.
-- my blade around 90gr, with H3 BS 2.15 (2 layer boost) and Fastarc G-1 1.8, with 2 layer onto blade, 2 layer on the rubber glue in total about 190gr.
(similar setup with other blades tends to closer to 180gr)
- Finishing is not good for this price, handle needs some sanding which drops aesthetic of blade also removes serial number on handle. (I don't care much)
+ Handle size is good (for me) not thin like Fang BO carbon, but not thick as Long 3.
++ bottom 32mm x 26mm
++ bottom around ~ 100mm

I play well on both sides but I like to finish points with my forehand and for that this blade is perfect. Bigger head size.
What is not good for other players you must be physically in a good shape because this is the Inner blade and to get the speed you must accelerate correctly.
My blade has 205 grams with hard rubbers and that is something that I like (more power and more controls) but for some other players that is too heavy. In general, the blade is head-heavy.
I use it for forehand Hurricane Neo 3 41 blue sponge and for backhand Joola Dynaryz ZGR Max.
This is my second blad; both are 91 grams but with lacquering to protect the blade when I remove rubbers.

For forehand looping, I feel the blade “carries” the ball for a few seconds
before releasing the ball. That feeling is so thrilling.
The only thing I don’t like is the weight. 92 gm is a
little heavy. - 17/09/2021 Excellent Blade Review by Tarek Chakroun

Play with Dignics 05 on both sides.
You feel every ball, you can do whatever you want with the ball.
The short game needs a little practice but then no problem
Service return is good, control over the ball no matter what you want to do.
I really enjoy playing with this blade - 17/08/2021 same as harimoto Review by dimi gkoutzidis
-
Quality
it's actually so similar that if I had known this beforehand I wouldn't have bought it... ????????????
the key differences are in the feeling, the length feels more hollow whereas the Harimoto is more compact, it has a bit less dwell time when looping than the Harimoto, but it has a slightly better feel in the short game and serves, probably coz of the more hollow feeling which somehow slows the ball down at contact so its easier to keep the ball short when serving or returning, so much that you can give it a little extra spin without worrying that the ball will fly off the table...but coz of that it's a bit slower than the Harimoto in full power shots...both blades don't really feel like carbon blades but more like wood, the long a bit more than the Hharimoto...and for some reason, I liked the FH better on the Harimoto and the bh better on the long...
played on both blades 2c 09c which fits very well for a modern-style attacking game...

Speed: TB ALC << LONG 5
Control: TB ALC > LONG 5
Spin: TB ALC > LONG 5
Feeling: TB ALC > LONG 5
Serve: TB ALC > LONG 5
Short game, serve receive: TB ALC < LONG 5

2nd zone: TB ALC << LONG 5
Flat game: TB ALC > LONG 5
1) This blade is fast, real off+. After playing DHS for 1 month and then try my old Timo Boll ALC I was shocked how slow it feels in my hand, like off-.
Most of my opponents said that I got more speed and energy in my shots.
2) This blade has good control as for off+ but it is not easy to place shots due to its behavior. It feels like Ferrari in your hands. This blade requires accurate technic and straight shots from the beginning to the end or u will have many unforced errors like net touch or 5-10 cm miss out the table.
3) Due to innerforce nature u can make slow touch shots in short receive but u need to practice it. It has a bit softer outer ply than Boll ALC so for me it was easier to receive serves.
4) Feeling is good. I was looking for an off+ blade and I trying Mizutani Super ZLC and Primorac Carbon and others, but they felt stiff and sharp. This one is the softest feeling OFF+ blade I ever try. It will give u a bit more dwell.
5) Handle. I like st handles, this one is comfortable, but a bit bigger than 90% of ST blades u tried before. After this blade, Timo Boll ALC st feels tiny and more for kids, when this one is more serious, for people with mid/big hands.
U will probably want to sand it a bit to make it more comfortable.
6) Rubbers for a combo. I usually play with Yasaka Rakza X and I like them for good grip, low catapult, and overall performance. But on this blade, Rakza X feels hard so u need to shot really hard or the ball may break off. I tried to boost it with the Falco booster and it was a much better feeling but harder to play close to the table. U need to serve and jump 1m back for a good curve.
Arc is low so the best rubber will be with a high arc like tenergy 05, Dignics 05, or something similar.
7) I choose 92 grams blade with 60% rebound rate. I wanted a really fast blade. I spoke with one player who had 4 Long 5 blades and he said that more % means more control. So 60% is more impulsive and will give u extra catapult when 68-70% will give u more dwell and control but a bit less speed.
8) Fang Bo difference. I tried Fang Bo Carbon and for me personally Long 5 feels more control and more dwelly when Fang Bo feels more like 7 ply wood blade and more straight, less innerforce.
Overall I like this blade. When I try to play with old Timo Boll ALC it is much more easy to do everything, but u need to work hard and always spend energy. Dhs Long 5 require discipline with your brain and your body and then provide u great performance and power in your shots. - 11/06/2021 amazing Review by Frans van den Berg

I played with tenergy 05 on both sides. Such speed. And control. For a short game, it needs a bit of training. But when you get the hang of it you can do whatever you want.
Played also with Dignics 09c. The big difference is that you determine what happens. You determine the reaction of the blade. If you hit with speed the blade is fast. When you play to block the blade gives you control. But you have to do it yourself. No catapult. Hit every ball 100% and you will be rewarded. Especially counter spin. - 20/04/2021 Gud blade Review by A.C.

Quality
On the forehand side, I have Joola Golden Tango and on the backhand Dignic 09C.
I don’t use boos but because of that you should use more hip rotation to generate force and with that you have excellent control. My blade has 90 grams.
Price is higher but on the other hand, filing is amazing when you play with this blade.
I recommend this blade if you have money and you play attacking style. - 12/01/2021 Control and Fast Review by Bob Afdlin

Quality
The packaging of the blade is premium, really nice, and high quality.
The weight is 88gr, so it's not light, but not too heavy either.
The handle is really comfortable, it feels smaller than a TB ALC, but apparently, the size is pretty much the same.
I used to use the Timo Boll ALC for years. It's a fantastic blade. But zero feedback and high quickness were the causes of a lot of mistakes and frustration. My level is intermediate, so I needed something less responsive and woodier.
Hurricane 5 was the way to go. It feels like an OFF rigid high-quality 7ply wood blade, but with all the benefits of a carbon one. Which means there is some feedback when hitting the ball, it's not dead as the TB ALC. It's not super bouncy/responsive so a short/defensive game is much easier.
It releases its power only when hitting hard. Then the ball goes low and fast, with the proper movement shots will be rockets. So basically power and speed come into play only when putting effort with the body. Otherwise, it's like playing with an all-wood blade. Plenty of control and forgiveness.
It works great with medium-hard sponge rubbers, even with soft ones.
I would recommend it skilled players, counter loopers, and whoever is seeking power and control. - 18/06/2020 Excellent contral filling and power Review by Nadav Shmueli

So far I think this suits me better. In the short time I have used it, I feel my control is a lot better. Great blade in my opinion...I use Hurricane on the forehand and Tenergy 05 hard on the backhand. Great blade for looping. But since I have been using it,
I find my backhand has made the biggest improvement. - 08/04/2019 Good Review by Harrison Allwood
-
Quality
However flat hitting wasn’t as good and the same with a flat block, I’ve since changed back to Timo Boll ALC as is a lot quicker and feels a lot more crisp, plus, I feel because I play with Tenergy 05 both sides it’s better, the Long is more suited to a Chinese tacky rubber on the FH side. - 08/01/2019 DHS Ma Long 5 Review by Kiran V

Quality - 03/01/2019 Great blade Review by Gabriele Fargion

Quality
Fibers are nearer to core and it gives a great experience of control and precision. Catapult effect is very little comparing to Viscaria, and it is also less elastic and rigid comparing to this.
Spin is great but you have to push more energy because the surface is less reactive at bounce comparing to a classical arylate blade.
I suggest to put catapult rubbers on that like T05.
Smash is great, the ball goes where you want straight heavy.
Very solid blade,I appreciate very much how the layers are glued one to the other, it appear like one great homogeneous surface.
I LOVE this blade ( I asked for 89 grams, perfect weight I think for that). Viscaria and the Long 5 are my favourite blades. - 03/12/2018 Amazing blade!! Review by Javier Delgado

Quality
What I'm about to say of the Long 5 that has not been said; It is an amazing blade!! The feeling is awesome and the control is top notch.
The only con that I found is the handle, the wings are a little uncomfortable for my hands, a bit to tall, and bothers me when I hit with the backhand.
But in conclusion, this blade has all that I been searching because I play with Chinese rubbers and from all that I've read in the forums around the web, this blade is the perfect combination with Chinese rubbers because it has an inner composition of ALC that benefits the dwell time of hard rubbers. - 20/11/2018 Verry good blade Review by Victor Perlin

Quality - 31/08/2017 wooden feeling with alc kick, TERRIBLE HANDLE. Review by Michael Wu
-
Quality
However, it feels to me that DHS are actually trying to make the handle as uncomfortable as possible. Ive had older DHS blades and their handles we're on the thin side, but the second gen HL5, which is the one i bought, is incredibly thin. They seem to have made the wings even larger, this in turn makes the makes the blade extremely uncomfortable, the wings have caused bruising when i tried to flick, leading me to sand the wings down.

I used to play with andro triber Z and Long one , I know play three months with this blade and I tried both with Chinese rubbers ( hurricane 8 Fh / hurricane 3 neo Bh ) and European ( tenergy 05 fx Fh / andro rasant turbo ) and this blade get the best qualities of both kind of rubbers out . My tecnic and my skills need to be improved so I ply with the second choice because they are easier to use but if you're able to play with tacky and hard rubbers you will enjoy this blade . - 12/05/2017 Excellent Review by AlmotassimBellah Sammour

Quality
Control : high
I m using this blade with hurricane neo 3 ( provincial orange sponge ) on F/H and tibhar 5Q+ (power update) .... And this blade is truly bringing out great spin/speed potential of both these rubbers.... It is fast but has excellent control in blocks, pushes.... Appropriate amount of flexibility and stiffness makes strokes over the table and away easy to execute.... Power is unleashed when you hit hard .... You can enjoy touch play and pushes at extreme angles..... Excellent for looping/driving .... I m even able to hit good B/H topspins/counter from mid/far.....
Moreover, it has a thin handle that very well suits my small palm size
Compared to my previous choice (carbonado 190), this blade is not overly stiff, which helps in over the table B/H loops/flicks, but stiff enough for good blocking..... Also, it is not a low throw blde unlike carbonado 190, so ball clears the net safely
I have even used another hard sponge rubber on F/H : andro rasant powergrip and it works quite well with this blade..
Highly recommended for ppl who attack more and use block defence in between to maintain the rally and then again go for attacking strokes !! - 14/07/2015 good Review by Nghia Nguyen
