4 HRS AGO - Author: jonyer1980Subject: Gold Arc 3 vs 5 vs 8???Posted: 05/26/2018 at 6:53pmI could try both on regular versions 47.5/42.5.GA8 feels like a bit softer to MXP as well speed/spin quite similar,and the topsheet isn't as grippy but nothing noticeable. I highly recommend this rubber.GA5 is quite different. It's quite slower and control based. It's not a bad rubber at all, but lacks of the punch and power FXS and FXP has. It's some kind of first gen Aurus Soft that had no problem but nothing special. Collapse

That’s why rules and regulations are in place. It’s not perfect, but it’s getting better. US is not getting the short end of the stick as you think. Collapse

From the blades with imperfections that were being sold, this was the best looking one (they had pictures of all of them).Bishu no.1 has tighter grains, but Special DX is a bit more uniform.Since Bishu head shape and "edge shape" are rounded, the grains look more beautiful on side view and more circular.

So that is a pretty long wait time dont you think? I understand these measures were not there in the 70s but they are now.
