Hi coach, I wanted to know why DHS 6002 Spin: 11 Speed: 10 Control: 4 which has less control then the DHS 5002 or 4002 but same speed and spin is more expensive.

Hi Farhoud,
Don't know the answer to that. Someone else might, maybe the manufacturer.

Hey there.
I'm a supporter of DHS and I personally own a 6002, but following Alois's advice, I changed the stock rubbers: Hurricane 3 and Skyline 2 to Hurricane 2 and NEO skyline 2.
Now, the 5002 has Hurricane 2 and Hurricane 3, the wood I'm not sure.
The 4002 has either both G888 or G888/Hurricane 3.
The rubbers all have pretty much the same properties: Very tacky and hard.
The reason why they write that the 6002 has less control is that it is a racket designed for full out attack and smashes. When I first used mine, it was extremely bouncy, unlike the european blades/rubbers. The type of wood that it is made of is a very hard wood called Koto. DHS and like all chinese rubbers, have a very high hardness, which means that they are all very bouncy. With this combination of a hard blade and a hard rubber, it is undoubtedly a mixture of pure bounce and power!
That being said, don't worry too much about what the manufacturer says on the label as it is a very general idea of the bat. All you need is a little bit of time (took me 1 week of daily playing) to get use to the new feel of the bat and you should be fine, assuming that you are not a complete novice in TT :)
I also recommend that you change the rubber that it came with to the ones which suit you more and because the quality of the pre-made rubbers are undoubtedly lower than the ones you buy externally.
I hope this helps.
