Yes, I've had the chance to get a prototype sample at Verviers last month during the world cup. I tried it briefly first on a Rossi emotion. It's soft and fast but not grippy or tacky at all. Couldn't put spin out of the package. Then, back to France, I sticked it on a Ian Worz Klondike blade with a Gold Arc on the other side. Oddly, it's grippier after a while and the more I play, the better it is. It's 2.05mm thick. It goes as fast as Gold arc, maybe a tinny bit faster but it's much softer. Reminds be T05fx. High arc, nice click sound. I still struggle with spin issue but it's becomming very decent. It's not too heavy, 43gr for 150 x 156 blade. Who would have said that Euro rubbers were going on the heavy side while Chinese rubbers getting lighter ? I am not sure whether my prototype will be exactly the same as the final product so I will avoid any conclusion here.



Sorry for bad quality images

Sounds somewhat disappointing.
Also wondering why the offerings of harder tacky chinese style rubbers are pretty much stalled..
with the large majority of new rubbers being the grippy Euro type.

Maybe H3 is just so good that it doesn't need any more improvement?
(The only thing I wish H3 had was that it played permanently like a boosted H3 out of the package and that humid condition play didn't suck so horribly bad).

It's not disappointing, it's just different than what DHS uses us to do. I would say, it's their first success in the attempt of offering something somehow comparable to ESN rubbers. Now, the question to know why DHS wants to do so is another issue...
Curious to see whether the first commercial batches will offer a better grip than my proto.

looks really cool... Your lucky to be able to try it out. I've been interested in tinarc so maybe I'll buy one when it comes out, if of course it isn't the same price tag as goldarc <.length;r++var>
