UPDATED! After being pleasantly surprised by the GoldArc 9 (38-degree sponge, 2.1 mm), Ive now bought one with a 37-degree sponge and 2 mm thickness. Weight in original packaging: 108 g. Uncut: 65 g. - Im really curious to see how it compares to the firmer version, and Ill report back soon! ;-P After playing the Gold Arc 5 (with 47.5 degree sponge in max.) for a season a few years ago, I was very excited about the new GA 9. I'm testing this rubber (... once again, first) on my Huieson ZLC outer, on my FH. ( ... together with the Xiom Veha Hybrid, both glued with solvent-based glue.) Facts: black rubber in 38 degree version with 2.1 mm sponge. Weight in original packaging 112 g., sealed 79 g. and uncut 76 g. On my blade, the final result is a pleasant, medium weight of 48 g. (157 x 150 mm). For years "a" GA 5 has been made in Germany and plays almost like a mixture of Tensor and China rubber ;P and now there's the GA 9, made in China, which plays almost like a Tensor!!! - funny. :-D From the very first hits, it is immediately apparent that the GA 9 is much softer/more elastic and catapults better than the GA-5 (with 47.5 degrees at max.). The speed and rotation level of both seem to be roughly identical. What I definitely like about both rubbers is that they both react very little to incoming rotation and play in a very controlled manner. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to directly compare the 37-degree and 38-degree versions of the GA 9, consequently I have not made any entries in the table for them. However, the fact remains that these highly catapult-like rubbers deliver impressive speed, which results in a slight loss of control. Bottom line: I, too, currently think that this rubber comes very close to Tenergy 05except that it isn't spin-sensitive!!!

DHS Gold Arc 9 - 38 Degrees
by DHS
The DHS Gold Arc 9 is a high-elasticity, non-tacky inverted rubber designed for balanced speed and control. The topsheet technology maximizes the elasticity of topsheet and sponge, while PRT (Particle Reinforcement Technology) optimizes pip geometry for faster recovery and enhanced rebound. The large-pore, high-energy sponge delivers efficient energy transfer with a crisp, controlled feel and works well across different blade combinations and playing styles.
Hardness: 38 degrees

Reviews of DHS Gold Arc 9 - 38 Degrees (10)
Very similar to Bttfly T05 but mutch longer lifetime. Medium low throw angle just perfect to hit end of the table. i use it on backhand (37 degrees) and i am very satisfied with it.
Hello guys, It is advertised as a non sticky rubber with tensor so i glued it on my bty Zhang Jike. Mine is 38 degrees. The tensor effect is not so powerful as Tenergy series but pimples and topheet do the job perfectly. I wanted more catapult from the sponge so i boosted with Haifu National white. I exactly get what i wanted: perfect speed, spin, control and arc to keep the ball nice and low with high - speed and let the ball land close to the white line with enermous rotation. It makes every opponent of mine under heavy pressure. I am very happy with this rubber on my forehand.
Very good rubber. Not that springy, compared to Gold Arc 8. This one is written made in China, and GA8 is written made in Germany. Red sponge. I use this as FH rubber on DHS Hurricane Long 5X, so speedy! Nice one!
