Customer review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 50 Hardness

External Review for DHS Gold Arc 8 - 47.5 Degrees on September 1, 2025

Intermediate player. 47.5 degrees, Max. Definitely the easiest rubber I've ever played with. The closest comparison is Fastarc G-1 but because this has a softer topsheet it feels like playing with something between C-1 and G-1 (which both have the same harder topsheet). Practically not tacky at all, just grippy. I have it on FH of Andro Novacell OFF/S and Donic Original No.1 Senso. Works on both. So far I have Andro Hexer Powergrip on BH but in the future I'll use GA 8 on both sides. I don't know if you can even call this a tensor rubber since the catapult is so small that it doesn't reduce control. However, it is still slightly bigger than in the Nittaku Fastarc series which in my opinion is a good thing. The short game is incredibly easy. Likewise looping. The only small disappointment is the spin on slow serves. Powergrip is much better on them. I used to think that G-1 is the universal rubber but actually this is it.
