The DHS TinArc 5 (天弓5) is a smooth inverted rubber engineered for modern offensive table tennis. With a spin rating of 8.8/10, this rubber offers solid rotation capability. You can generate meaningful spin on loops and serves, though it won't produce the extreme dip of top-tier spin rubbers. The speed rating of 8.8/10 provides enough pace for offensive play while the 8.5/10 control keeps things manageable. This balance makes it suitable for players who attack but value consistency. The sponge hardness of 35-38° is relatively soft, providing excellent dwell time and a 'trampoline' effect that helps generate spin easily. Great for developing players or those who rely on spin over speed. Available in 2.1mm thickness options. This rubber is best suited for fast attackers who hit flat and quick, loop attackers who drive heavy topspin.
