Gold Arc 8 worth it?

[boretennis]

I have a new blade coming (Victas Hino-Carbon) and was looking for a spinny tensored FH rubber (going to stick with H8-80 on BH as i'm pretty happy with it). i fancy Gold Arc 8 because i'm a DHS fanboy, but was wondering if it's actually worth it, or if i get more value for money with something similar from Victas (having my eyes on V>01 Limber or V>15 Limber) or Xiom (Vega Pro?). Any opinions?

Yes it does. But Vega X or even G1 is a bit better, performance and durability, in my experience.

I thought Gold Arc 8 is designed mainly for BH, but I could be wrong

Solid rubber. Doesn't have the catapult of a Tenergy / Dignics but enjoyable to use if you're looking for a stable rubber.Warning ,it shrinks badly,so if you're putting it on a a blade,it should stay there till youre ready to change it.

I played for some time, it looses grip pretty quick and it's probably the slowest tensor I've ever played with. Medium throw, medium quality. Just... Meh... Victas is better, many prefer g1. Excellent control though.
