The DHS Tin Arc 5 is a versatile table tennis rubber renowned for balancing spin, control, and speed, making it a popular choice among players of varying skill levels. With a speed rating of 8.6 and spin capability of 8.9, this rubber is particularly well-suited for offensive players who also prioritize precision in their gameplay. The rubber’s soft and responsive nature allows for effective looping and driving, offering an enjoyable feel on every stroke, which helps players connect well with the ball.
In terms of tackiness, Tin Arc 5 has a moderately low level scored at 4.7, enabling good grip on the ball without being overly sticky. This feature is crucial for generating spin while facilitating quick transitions between shots. The weight of the rubber is classified as medium, weighing in at 5.8, which strikes a balance that does not hinder speed but also provides sufficient stability during play. Players have noted that despite its relatively lower speed compared to other aggressive rubbers, the control it offers, particularly on the backhand, is exceptional, making it a favorite among control-oriented players.
Durability remains a topic of mixed feedback; with a durability rating of 6.9, the rubber may require more frequent replacements compared to some competitors due to its softer sponge structure. Players looking for alternatives might consider well-regarded options like Tenergy series rubbers or alternatives from brands such as Stiga and Yasaka, which offer different balances of speed, control, and spin. Overall, the DHS Tin Arc 5 excels in providing consistent performance across various play styles while remaining approachable for those refining their skills.

2020:
I’ve never understood why DHS sticky rubbers supposedly produce more spin than non-sticky rubbers. I’ve never experienced it before and I firmly assume that this can only be the case with the use of tuners! I ordered this rubber with a 33-degree sponge and 2.1 mm thickness on Ali Express for 16 €, and I’ve never received a softer rubber from China. It’s super soft! (Maybe max. 36-degree at int. range!!!)
My rubber in red (I ordered especially “low weight”) weighs uncut, with foil, 61 g and on my blade (156 x 150 mm) 43 g. This rubber creates a wonderfully loud sound on my Palio R57 blade. It bangs wonderfully!
Conclusion:
If you like super soft rubbers (… with a wonderful sound!), which are in the upper middle speed and spin range, you should order this rubber in the 33-degree version.
Update:
I bought the same rubber again, in black, and it generates less spin. Sad!
Good rubber for BH, rather slow, with excellent control and good arc. Tinarc is very good for blocking with soft sponge. It has a medium-low tackiness top sheet with a control sponge.
I used it for about 2 months but then I felt it was too slow for my attacking playstyle.
Good backhand rubber with a very low throw angle and a very good arc, indicating its suitability for backhand looping at mid to far ranges.
