External Review for DHS Tinarc 5 on March 15, 2023

from 2020: I'll never understand why DHS sticky rubbers supposedly produce more spin than non-sticky rubbers. - I have never experienced it before and I firmly assume that this can only be the case with the use of tuners! I ordered this rubber with 33 degree sponge and 2,1 mm thickness, at Ali Express for 16 , and I have never received a softer rubber from China. Its really super soft !!!!! ( maybe max. 36 degree at int. range !!! )
My rubber in red (i ordered especially "low weight") weighs uncut, with foil, 61 g and on my blade (156 x 150 mm) 43 g. This rubber creates a wonderful loud sound, on my Palio R57 blade. - ... it bangs wonderful !!! ;P
Conclusion: If you like super soft rubbers (... with a wonderful sound!), which are in the upper middle speed and spin range, you should order this rubber in the 33 degree version.
Update: I bought the same rubber again, in black and it generates less spin. Sad !!!

Good rubber for BH, rather slow, excellent control and good arc. Tinarc is very good for block with soft sponge. Medium low tackiness top sheet with control sponge.

I using it about 2 month but then i feel it too slow for my attacking playstyle.

Good backhand rubber and a has a very low throw angle and a very good arc as it indicates good for backhand looping at mid to far ranges

External Review for DHS Tinarc 5 on May 18, 2018

Blade: DHS PG-7
FH: Genesis M
BH: Tin Arc 5

Do not be misled by the ratings on other reviews, this is by no means a speed or spin monster. It has average speed and above average spin. The control on this rubber is incredible however, perhaps due to the soft sponge.

Another misleading rating is the sponge hardness, Tin Arc 5 is NOT a hard rubber. This is a very soft porous sponge, not characteristic of Chinese rubbers, it has a pale white sponge, compared to traditional orange DHS rubbers; I'd say sponge hardness is about 35-36 degrees.

This rubber I felt was very suited for backhand, the soft sponge, paired with the softer top layer of the PG-7 meant returns were sufficiently absorbed, keeping control at a high. However, this rubber is a little too slow for my liking on the backhand, especially for opening up against backspin. Because it is quite soft, and not a tensor rubber like Tenergy, the service return is quite spinny, but lacks the speed factor to take the initiative in the rally.

Overall, a decent beginner rubber for the backhand(best suited), average spin and speed, but excellent control.
