Intermediate player. 47.5 degrees, Max. Definitely the easiest rubber I've ever played with. The closest comparison is Fastarc G-1 but because this has a softer topsheet it feels like playing with something between C-1 and G-1 (which both have the same harder topsheet). Practically not tacky at all, just grippy. I have it on FH of Andro Novacell OFF/S and Donic Original No.1 Senso. Works on both. So far I have Andro Hexer Powergrip on BH but in the future I'll use GA 8 on both sides. I don't know if you can even call this a tensor rubber since the catapult is so small that it doesn't reduce control. However, it is still slightly bigger than in the Nittaku Fastarc series which in my opinion is a good thing. The short game is incredibly easy. Likewise looping. The only small disappointment is the spin on slow serves. Powergrip is much better on them. I used to think that G-1 is the universal rubber but actually this is it.

DHS Gold Arc 8 - 50 Hardness
by DHS
The rubber surface of GOLDARC 8 is highly elastic just like a fully bent bow, which can easily create strong friction. This smooth surface rubber with underlying intensive big-pimple structure gives the rubber great elasticity and off-court power. The player can enjoy the instant feeling of striking with minimal effort and will appreciate the crisp hitting sound.
GOLDARC 8 has outstanding performance in strength and speed, bringing an overwhelming pressure to the opponent in full court. This rubber is suitable for both forehand and backhand.
GOLDARC 8, the highly elastic non-sticky rubber, was developed by the DHS R&D center and German rubber-making expers with the consultation of World Champion Wang Liqin.
Hardness: 50 degress
Speed: 93
Spin: 94
Control: 69

Reviews of DHS Gold Arc 8 - 50 Hardness (79)
That is my first tensor rubber after i switched to CPen several years ago.
I had Omega 4 Pro and Vega Europe on my last SH blade and now this one.
Initially I used soft Chinese rubber on my Reverse Pen to build a stroke but with progression it required more and more power and accuracy to perform powerful yet precise strokes. So i decided to try a tensor and this one worked better than i have expected. The downside of that transition - i lost some feeling as it gives less vibration on the blade and on some lighter strokes it feels like i've missed the ball when i didn't so im still getting used to it. However I have already noticed how easier it is to play my RPB with this rubber. Considering to switch to 50 degree version of this rubber on FH someday.

I use a Yinhe V11 Pro with a red Goldarc8 47.5 at my forehand. It is an easy to use rubber. Easy to block, it is fast, have decent spin, and easy to control. Despite enjoying this rubber at my forehand, I don't like it at my backhand, which I currently use a Tenergy 19. Finally, it is not expensive. I can purchase from China and even with a lovely 50% tax, it is cheaper then most rubber found at local market.
