Customer review for DHS Gold Arc 5 - 42.5 Degrees

External Review for DHS Gold Arc 5 - 42.5 Degrees on March 18, 2026

It is really good rubber. I played the 47.5 degree hardness with both max and medium thickness. Not on the top shelf like popular Butterfly rubbers, but comparable (if not better) to average ESN rubbers with little or no tensor effect. I like grippy, but linear rubbers - not a big fan of tensor effect. So this rubber is great for me, it can be fast, but in a linear way. Control is great. Spin is also very good. In general it is not too difficult even for begginers (you can try softer 42.5 deg one). It reminds me Rakza 7, but for half the price. I tested this rubber on inner carbon blades, Andro Treiber FI OFF (average speed, hinoki outer layer) - it was great. On faster, more direct Anders Lind Hexacarbon with Koto outer the Max version was even little too fast for me. Played boh on FH and BH, some may prefer softer version for the latter.
