Additional InformationIf you've watched competitive table tennis at the highest levels, then you've surely seen DHS products in action. Perhaps the most notable athlete using DHS equipment is Ma Long. A legend of the sport, Ma Long uses a Hurricane 3 rubber on his forehand. Hurricane 3 rubbers are undoubtedly the most popular rubber series from DHS and are a prime example of hard and tacky Chinese rubbers. Many players try out the Hurricane 3 and H3 Neo rubbers on their forehand as an introduction to this style of rubber. These rubbers require considerable power to fully unleash their potential, as well as proper brushing technique. You can find the H3 rubbers in Commercial (NEO), Provincial (H3, NEO) and National (H3) versions.
DHS offers rubbers with different characteristics well-suited to other uses as well. The Gold Arc 8 series is a high-powered rubber that performs more closely to other brand's flagship offerings. It has a grippy surface and fast sponge, which comes in both 47.5 and 50 degree hardness. You can find Skyline and TinArc rubbers rated as Soft, Mid-Soft and Mid-Hard.

Reviews of DHS Gold Arc 8 - 47.5 Hardness (43)
9.4 spin is misleading. This is a solid rubber for its price, but nowhere as spinny as other rubbers that are rated 9.4 here.
I love this rubber, I have been using it on my backhand for a little over 6 months now and it is great. This rubber is good for a backhand dominant player as myself, but if your backhand isn't as strong it is a very suitable forehand rubber as well. This is a very springy rubber and doesn't have a lot of dwell time, but it is still very good at generating spin. This rubber is definitely not for beginners.
Coming from Rasanter 47 and Xiom Omega 7 Pro, GoldArch 8 was non-grippy, bouncy, not that fast and with poor control. Update - I hated it on FH, but found to be an excellent BH rubber on Viscaria, in 47.5 hardness.
Bought second hand in 47.5 red max and glued to an old schildkrot blade so just a few thoughts: feels about medium hardness during play, but has a solid purchase/contact on the ball which improves confidence unless you don't hit very hard, in which case this is probably too fast for you. Fairly springy even on the slow blade. Arc is nice and predictable. Enjoy your TT!
Ratings for 2.1mm, 50 degree sponge. Very fast and spinny. There is a good chance your loops will not come back.
Great rubber espesially for looping and top spin play. This rubber suits the ones who play mostly at 2-3 feet from the table. Good dwell time when paired with flex blade, and it helps when near the table. I use it on BH with Stiga Off Classic. Once I use it on Donic Waldner Legend Carbon, but it's too fast for me with this set up. A great rubber....
I bought a red 47.5 max sheet for my back-end. I will compare with t05fx. Cons: Bouncy, short game needs adjustement to make short pushes. Completly non tacky wich paired with bounciness means less spinny serves. Pro: Every attack is a breeze. Banana flips are spinny, topspin attack easy, loop is great, smashes are powerfull. It has good speed, not as fast as t05fx, but more linear, easier to control on backhand, better for me. It has improved my game drastically, every short ball becomes a flip candidate with this rubber, making my game more aggressive. Great rubber all in all, i will try the 50 degree version too.
Update 1: Great rubber but the serve department really is behind other rubbers. If you ask me this is a great learning rubber if tenergy on backhand is too much for you. Blocks, drives, topspin loops, flips all are great and easy to improve on backhand with this rubber. Durability definitely better than tenergy, almost twice as much. With this on backhand and 05 on forehand i won my first tournament today. Really worth it.
My favorite to BH. Spin is easy, blocking as well. Good control not crazy fast. My blade is XIOM Zetro Quad, spare blade is BTY Timo Boll ALC.
XIOM Zetro with GA8 is a bit easier to me (than BTY TB ALC) and also provides better spin + throw angle.
0ne thing disturbed me. This Rubber shrinks bigtime if u test in different blades
Very fast and bouncy using the 47.5 version. Need good technique to control it. Using a blade that has good dwell time (inner fiber) and the ball still shoots off like a cannon. Good for a player who likes the speed aspect of the game. Will stick to my Tenergy 05-FX for better control and spin.
Got this rubber in black, 50 hardness max thickness, 169mm x 170mm weighed in at 73.3g. At first when I tried it on a stiff blade, I couldn't control it very well. After transferring it to a Yasaka Sweden Extra, control improved a lot. Very linear mostly from low to medium high gears. Explosive catapult seems to take effect on more powerful shots. Good for looping as the soft topsheet is very grippy, not needing to engage the hard sponge that much. Kick effect is very easy to achieve using this rubber compared to others.
Incredible rubber that has it all. Easy to play with. Takes 20 min. to get used to, if you have played with tensors before. Top 10 in my book!
This is the best rubber I played. Speed, control, spin, all at a high level. The price is low for rubber. I used to play tenergy 05, Now GoldArc 8.

I have the Goldarc8 50* on my Nittaku Ludeack.It is a good offensive rubber I got GA8 50* because I boost all my rubbers and they are like 46/47* in ESN hardness scale after treating it withTempo Long booster.Very similar to Andro Powergrip(still The Favorite) but a bit less control/feel.Like other 50* rubbers made in Germany by ESN they are excellent ,similar yet with small differences that make you decide if it is right rubber for you.
In 40+ years of table tennis, every time I tried out new rubbers I ended up with Butterfly - until now. I'm using the Gold Arc 8 2.0mm with 47.5 hardness on a BTY Apolonia ZLC blade and it was my choice over the Tenergy series.
The GA8 is relatively slow in the passive game with fantastic spin and control. As soon as you play active the catapult effect releases an impressive power: A Tibhar MX-P is just slightly faster, but with less gears, spin and much less control. GA8 stays stable at harder shots not like a lot of too soft tensor rubbers that drop the power when hitting through the sponge. Surprisingly the sensitivity to spin is not too high and blocks are incredibly easy. Meanwhile I use it on both sides of the racket. Maybe the best ESN-made rubber ever and a must-try! As said before: This is NOT a Chinese style rubber and it is made in Germany.
Version. Mdium 47,5 used with XVT zl hinoki
To hard for me 44 european degrees. Very fast more than banco ouragan 37, andro hexer powersponge. I can feel the bouncy effect of tensor like but less than european tensors. The rubber surface is Also not usual with no clear shiny nor mate surface. The grip is also special need chinease loop tecnik to give high spin to the ball. Not miracle rubber but for the price can replace a european tensor rubber
