Customer review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 50 Hardness

External Review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 47.5 Degrees on August 20, 2021

Before deciding to buy it I had read many positive reviews from various sources so that it made me curious about the GA-8. On the first day of trying it on FH i glued the rubber (50 deg) on the viscaria with 3 coats of WBG and felt the performance is slightly better than my favorite rubber R47,G1,R7 due to the balance of speed and control . This rubber has excelent grip and although the sponge has a hardness of 50 deg it feels slighly harder than 47.5 deg. If you want more dwell time and control better choose 47.5 deg. When making 3rd ball attacks with slow loop or fast top spin the trajectory is medium/medium high. In short games and also the opponent's attack blocks I felt more confident to return and keep the ball on the table. SPEED: R50=MXP>GA8>T05=R47=G1>R42=R7. SPIN: T05>GA8=R42>R47>G1>R50=MXP>R7. CONTROL: GA8>R42>R47=G1>R7>MXP=R50>T05. Overall I gave it score 9.5. As for the durability I can't conclude because I've only been using it for a few days.
