  1. NEW Gold Arc 9

    From a 3rd party perspective, at least, it sounds to me that GA9 is not bringing anything to the table that we can't already get elsewhere, so much so that I'm struggling to understand why DHS bothered bringing it to market. If my logic is flawed, let me know, but as far as I can tell: It...
  2. My experience with Chinese rubbers

    I'm on my phone and revspin sucks on the phone, so would you mind listing those blades out with a few dot points of your experience with each? I can't tell if you have 2, 3 or 4 blades in circulation at this point (again, on my phone, up and about). For context, I like my GA8 50, but I'd like...
  3. Friendship 729 battle 3

    I don't know what their issues were, but my experience is the complete opposite. For the topsheet tackiness, I can still pickup a ball and hold it after 50 hours of significant abuse. Yes, I wash with water after every session, but then you would think, according to those claiming that humidity...
  4. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Oh, I wouldn't say 09c or T05 are that much faster, at least, not when you start to really swing (09C is, though). Yes, at much lower speeds, they have more catapult. But similar to my GA8 50, T05 especially, they're no faster up top. T05 will bottom out when B3 40 is just starting to party...
  5. Friendship 729 battle 3

    That's how I felt, the way B3 improved your game. Having used B2P Blue Sponge for the most part, but also having used G1 (and, since it's on my backhand, GoldArc 8 50, which many say is faster than T05, but I'm not sure I agree with that), B3 just doesn't feel like any of them. And if I'm...
  6. NEW Gold Arc 9

    Sounds good, but it's unfortunate about the speed. Oh well...
  7. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Wow, ok, I was not expecting that... I was almost certain you were going to say 38, or maybe 39, but not H40. I honestly think that your particular sheet of B3 was not representative. However, I want t to be incredibly cautious here because I do not want it to appear as though I'm accusing you...
  8. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Could be the particular blade combination as well. So which hardness was it?
  9. Friendship 729 battle 3

    They 100% perform live testing, as well as simulations, to determine the effects of any changes. Some of the changes or technology involved in a given iteration, relates to the additives and production environment required in order to achieve a certain result. Battle 3 is actually a perfect...
  10. Friendship 729 battle 3

    As you're probably aware, there have been a few attempts made with high-speed cameras, and there are a few papers on the coefficient of restitution floating around. Most are insufficient for truly isolated the equipment, in my opinion. In the spreadsheet I threw together to generate my graph, I...
  11. Friendship 729 battle 3

    Too soft? What hardness was this B3? If B3 was as popular as it deserves and selling by the pallet, I would almost ask if it was fake. Instead, I'll ask if it was heat cycled, or if you used a strange or old glue, or if it was somehow defective. Is any of that a possibility? Don't get me...
  12. NEW Gold Arc 9

    Eagerly awaiting your raw first impressions.
  13. Awkward state of boosting

    It's been a long time since I worked in an industry that dealt with engineering rubbers and plastics, and I make no claim to any knowledge specific to the manufacture of TT rubbers. Therefore, the below includes a few slightly informed assumptions that may or may not be relevant to TT rubber...
  14. NEW Gold Arc 9

    Does anyone know which, if any, of the other DHS rubbers that use the #80 sponge (other than H8)?
  15. NEW Gold Arc 9

    Maybe the 47.5, but my GA8 50 doesn't really behave like a tensor—the added hardness definitely gives it a more linear response. No, it's not tacky rubber linear, but it's also not a one speed wonder. However, it's more of a 36-37, so on my forehand, I can tell it's starting to roll off when my...
  16. Whats your experience with H37/38 backhand rubbers?

    :LOL: Truth be told, I've always used tacky, Chinese rubbers on both sides, but moving to GA8 50 has been a lot of fun, as I'm at a stage where I'm ignoring everything but speed. And GA8 has the linearity of a Chinese rubber, too (well, sort of, once your beyond about 50% effort), so it was easy...
  17. NEW Gold Arc 9

    I'm not sure control-based is what they mean. By all accounts, #80 is quite fast, so I think they're trying to say "hey, no really, our rocket can steer, too..." At least, that's what I hope. I want a 155mm artillery for a backhand. It doesn't need to snipe a bullseye if I can make a crater...
  18. DHS Goldarc 9 is now available

    The packing itself has the description written in English as well, so no need to guess.
  19. Getting thrashed during office games?

    We have a couple of guys like that, one of them I made a B2P 38 + Focus 3 snipe on an N10S blade. He stands too close and somehow manages to get behind the ball enough to hit these low, fast returns with little top spin. Shots come back that most good players would miss. But he can't attack...
  20. Getting thrashed during office games?

    Try these: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL9qWYO Looks like they have super FX as well.
