External Review for DHS Gold Arc 5 - 42.5 Degrees on October 24, 2024

I found this rubber for only 20 dollars, so it was really worth it. It is a good rubber, mainly focused on control. I heard many people say that it is slow. I didn't think It was. Perhaps because I was using a very fast blade - Fang Bo B2x. It spin capability is very satisfying, but this rubber is very susceptible to moisture. Where my table is placed is very humid, so when the ball bounces on the floor and I use it without cleaning again, the rubbers looses totally its spin capability. But this is simple to solve: Just clean the ball and the topsheet well and its spin is very good. It best point is the control which would be perfect if it weren't for the hard topsheet. For me, this is the only problem of this rubber. It feels way harder than it is, which, in my opinion, make blocks more difficult and make it a little bit more spin sensitive. Good points: Driving feels crisp and controlled, spin is very good, serves are very spinny, speed is decent, short game is very controlled and spinny, loops against backspin are simply amazing. Bad points: Speed could be a bit higher, though it is not bad, blocking is not bad too, but the hard feeling of the topsheet sometimes make it harder, very sensitive to moisture. (Just for you to know, I gave this rubber a 8.2 in speed, but for comparison I would rate H3 neo a 7)
