NEW Gold Arc 9

[Lawsy]

In China they cost half as much as other ESN rubbers, about the same as H8-80 there. Even GA8 is 40% more expensive than GA9 in China .

The cost difference wasn't that significant when I last checked.

And my GA8 50 is giving me no compelling reason to change, so I guess the search for a thermo nuclear backhand, that isn't from butterfly, continues...

GA9 is $20, GA5 $25 and GA8 is $32. I'd say GA9 is similar in speed to GA5 but with better spin and a more japanese feel. The price difference isn't massive here, and something newer like Vega Korea is $34 (another one of the grippy control/spin options out there).

It's a long way from a GA8 50 degree in all sorts of ways, you'd have to be looking for something a lot slower/softer to justify it.

Can someone compare DHS Goldarc 9 with Yinhe Moon 12 Blue?
From what I've read sofar they sound similar. I wonder if Goldarc 9 is better in any capacity than Moon 12.

I like Moon 12 alot, but I wish it was faster in the higher gears
