This is my go to BH rubber now that I've managed to improve my technique. Really good for fast attack and exceptional for blocking. Spin potential is alright for a euro tensor - if DHS Hurricane is 10 I would probably rank this one at 7 - similar to T05 but worse than D09C imo. I am using Loki Telson 100 and DHS Hurricane 8-80 for backhand on my other blades and those have longer dwell time and better spin potential so it's a bit easier to topspin attack under-spin serves with those than with the DNA Platinum. If executed well though this rubber can produce absolutely disgusting and lightning fast returns which my opponents couldn't handle - you just need to be much more precise and active with your return. The faster you can hit the ball the better the chance of it clearing the net which was the main issue for me. I might try the M version in future as it's supposed to be slightly slower and has better dwell but for now I'll be using this rubber. Blade is Hurricane Long 5.
Update: after playing a bit longer with this rubber it has one major downside - you have to engage sponge if you want good spin, otherwise the ball falls into the net much more than with other rubbers. It's not an issue in itself but paired with monstrous speed the ball can go out a lot. In short it's very hard to attack short and slow backspin serves with this rubber. Platinum M or S might be better in this regard but they would also be slower (imo speed is the main selling point of this rubber). For FH it's still top notch though. I will be trying DNA Hybrid for BH instead, if that doesn't work will probably go back to DHS Gold Arc 8

Stiga DNA Platinum H
by Stiga
· Part of Stiga DNA Series
Stiga DNA Platinum is the latest addition to STIGA's DNA series that features a new generation of table tennis rubbers from Germany. The unique rubber composition provides an excellent grip, allowing the player to strike the ball from really challenging angles. The short pimples together with the thin top sheet mean that DNA Platinum can accommodate a thicker sponge (up to 2.3 mm), which gives you additional speed and power in the game. Thanks to the PSC (Power Sponge Cell) technology, you get a longer ball trajectory with more power in your stroke and an aggressive arc in loop play. The sponge pores also enhance the contact between the rubber and the blade, which means that you get that sought-after, crisp sound in your stroke. • Advanced table tennis rubber with superior grip and spin that allow for strikes from challenging angles. Rubber Type: Smooth
• A sponge hardness of 50 degrees, in combination with the right choice of blade, gives you the power and speed for quick, effective finishes.
• A thinner top sheet can accommodate a thicker sponge, thus offering more speed and power.
• It features shorter pimples for greater surface contact between sponge and blade.
• Power Sponge Cells for increased catapult effect and optimal power.
• A unique rubber compound with long durability and a clear, crisp sound.
• Made in Germany and developed in collaboration with the Chinese national team.
