I tried it some months ago, then let it go not to irritate my EJing syndrome.. and recently was thinking to try it again.
To my surprise I can no longer find it anywhere. It's out of stock ..on prott.vip, tt11, and most of aliexpress shops. I like to buy my blades from tt stores so they can weigh them and sell me the weight I want.
Were they discontinued??

There’s no official discontinued news from DHS so far according to some sellers and distributors that I asked. Indeed DHS hadn’t been making them for quite sometime now and the stocks outside is depleting.

Someone from Europe asked me to find two FL because he couldn’t find it online anywhere. After a couple of days of searching offline and online, a couple of false positives (they said they had it, I paid, then they told me they didn’t have it, fortunately I got my money back safely on those occasions), I found some and bought all the FL I could get. During the search I also found some ST and CS (pen holder).

Getting the weight is a bit of bigger problem now that availability is scarce.

This has been my experience as well. These blades used to be pretty cheap in China... 50-60 usd. Paying a premium now at double the price, no thank you.
Either DHS is preparing another variant of the blade (hopefully) otherwise I don't even know what's on their mind.

Thanks. I did come across this site in the past... One of very few places offering an ST version.
Unfortunately, all are too light for me.

Well, despite the increased in price, so far I could find them still cheaper here in China than all of the websites mentioned above. So it’s still all good as far as I’m concerned.

I believe DHS is still on the ITTF list, this site has good stock and I've never had trouble with delivery etc.

Blades get "soft discontinued" all the time. As with everything else, they don't make any given blade continuously, they do production runs and release them to sellers as time goes by and orders come in. They only make more if 1) they're running low, and 2) orders continue to come in. Low demand stuff eventually runs short, and they won't make more until a significant number of orders piles up. That's probably what is going on here.. it's currently out of stock but that doesn't mean it always will be. They won't ever announce it's been continued because it hasn't.
