Saad, trouble is blade choice is very subjective. Everyone has their own choice of weight, control, speed, flexibility etc. You haven't given an indication of your level of ability or style of play. My guess is that you are an attacker as both those are fast blades. It is always best to see if you can find a friendly person at your local club who may have one of those blades and is willing to let you try to see if you like the 'feel'. Sorry to be unhelpful but the best option will be the one you like the feel of best when using it. The only other thing you can do is to read the reviews others have left or contact a company that sells them and ask their advice (although they may just be bias towards the most expensive!). They both get good ratings on the revspin.net database, why not just go with the cheapest, trust you have a good deal and then train hard so you and blade get the best out of each other. It is the training that will help you improve.

DHS301 is the same blade which I play with. It's fast but not too fast, still has a wooden feeling and is great for all-round game. But it also depends what rubbers you pair it with.

What sort of game do you have Saad? For all-round game, I would suggest Battle II 729 on FH and Palio AK47 on BH. Both of rubbers are available on Aliexpress.com
