Description per DHS website:
The Goldarc 8 has legendary elasticity and a high amount of
grip. This rubber employs its sturdy pimple geometry to maximise its
elasticity. The pimples used are very large to increase the power produced from
the mid-distance. The rubber gets excellent feedback and a clear sound upon
contact with the ball, providing the player with much confidence in his shots.
The Goldarc 8 is suitable for both the forehand and backhand of a blade. The
Goldarc 8 was worked on by the DHS development center, German rubber experts,
and multiple-time world champions, wang Liqin, and Ma Long, to create the
perfect highly elastic, non-tacky rubber. This rubber is the soft version
My Review:
Equipment tested:
Blade- Butterfly Primorac Carbon
FH rubber - DHS Gold Arc 8 (47.5)
BH rubber- Rakza 7
As an advanced player, my first instinct was an excellent
grippy rubber for offensive counter-attack and topspins. The ball made a
nice crisp topspin and the trajectory of the top-spin is low to medium. The top-spins generate lot of speed and spin especially when hit over a backspin return by the opponent. Slightly low on control,
although when you compare with MXP-evolution, or Rakza 9 it was on a higher
side. Although this is a DHS rubber, this rubber doesn't have tackiness
unlike most traditional DHS rubbers. This rubber is made in Germany and is an
excellent replacement of Tenergy 05. In my views I found it better than Tenergy
05 in terms of control, dynamics and the longevity of the rubber.
DHS has produced a Winner this time and is surely set to gain
popularity in the Indian Market.
