Customer review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 50 Hardness

External Review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 47.5 Degrees on October 1, 2017

47.5 degree sponge, med thickness, tested on Treiber K.
I see this rubber's ratings have dropped slightly from the heady days when it first appeared on the database.
Funny how new equipment seems to garner extraordinary hype and ratings in the initial reviews. However this rubber
deserves it's very high ranking as it's one of the best I have tried. Opted for the softer, thinner version as I felt 50 degree max would be too hard/fast and that I would probably not utilize It's potential anyway. 47.5 seems perfect, the supple top sheet makes the rubber feel softer than it is, and with a high level of grip, spin based strokes have great rotation. Control is excellent , with a very linear power curve that is easy to unleash. In combination with the Treiber K, I had speed, control and consistency that fit well with my abilities.
I am an older player (60), but if you are an advanced,fast,powerful player (read younger perhaps)
then the harder/thicker version of this rubber might suit your game even better.
I thoroughly recommend this rubber as it has that great synthesis between sponge and topsheet and is Only $30US per sheet.
