Why This Pairing
Understanding the technical rationale and playstyle alignment behind this comparison.
PG7 is DHS’s most popular all-round attacking blade. Rxton 9 Pro Outer chases that same sharp-attacking, direct-feedback game with a Basalt GNF Fibre outer layer.
Note: We're comparing where these two blades sit, not promising they'll feel the same off the bat — every brand's ply structure, fibre choice and tolerances differ. Use this as a sensible starting point if you've played the DHS blade, not a guarantee.
