– The surface of Goldarc 8 has the elasticity of a fully drawn bow, and has high grip. The elasticity comes from the robust pimple geometry. It has big pimples that provide large amounts of power from the mid-distance. The player profits from good feedback; and the clear sound produced upon contact with the ball provides more trust and confidence in one’s shots.– Goldarc 8 possesses extreme amounts of speed and spin, and can be used to pressure one’s opponent in any situation. The rubber is suitable for both forehand and backhand.– This highly elastic, non-tacky rubber was developed in collaboration with the DHS development centre, German rubber experts, and the multiple-time world champions Wang Liqin and Ma Long.Type: Offensive (Power + Speed)Hardness: 47.5/50 (SHORE-C Standard, different from usual DHS rubbers)Thickness: Medium/Max
