The DHS Ma Long Carbon blade, developed specifically for the Japanese market in collaboration with Nittaku, is a modified version of the original DHS Ma Long 5. This Nittaku variant is slightly slower due to a larger head size and offers a unique resonance that enhances the feel of the blade. Additionally, the handle on this version is larger, increasing the blade's weight and making it slightly faster compared to the standard Nittaku Ma Long Carbon blade. It is particularly suited for players who prefer a more substantial grip over the thinner standard handle size.
