I couldn’t see the hectic being able to outperform the DV888 in any way. The shape really turns me off, and I heard the weight distrubution is pretty center-heavy, making it more prone to spinouts. If you’re trying to decide between purchasing either, go with the DV888. Read my review on the DV888 if that helps ;D ---

No, I haven’t gotten to play one yet, which is why I tried to refrain from asserting my inferences and opinions as “fact.” I just thought that using my previous conceptions of weight distribution and spin dynamics, the Hectic looked like it would fall short in alot of ways. I don’t know, since I haven’t played one before (I’d definitely need to find a way to try it before I buy it), so admittedly I am biased toward the DV888 in this case, but in either case I believe that it is more appealing to a wider range of players, so it wasn’t simply a blind reccomendation (I always do my homework first ;))
