    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Despite being a sticky rubber, it is lightweight with high elasticity, making it ideal for transitioning from tension-type rubbers. Its excellent cost-performance ratio, combining affordable pricing with high performance, makes it particularly popular among middle and high school players.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Lightweight and bouncy despite sticky nature
    • Easy transition from tension rubbers
    • Powerful drive and loop shots
    • High performance at an affordable price
    • Stable for net play techniques like blocking and stopping
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being a sticky rubber, it has a softer feel, making the transition from tension rubbers smooth. Loop drives are very easy to execute, stops hold well, and counter-blocking and other techniques are easy to perform.
    ▽ CriticalBeing a harder rubber requires strong impact to generate ball power. The stickiness weakens with use, making protective sheet maintenance necessary.

      A certain junior high student (Experience: 2〜3 years) Super-flying tacky rubber

      Reviews by user

      Compared to a regular tacky rubber, the speed is quite a bit higher. Put it on a carbon blade and it really flies. However, compared to a regular tacky rubber, you do sacrifice a bit of spin.

      Takuto (Experience: 2〜3 years) For getting started with tacky rubber

      Reviews by user

      You get that distinctive tacky-rubber ball, but it bounces normally too. Since it's tacky, the spin really grabs, so serves, receives and the short game were easy to pull off. I'd use it on my backhand myself, but I think it's actually better on the forehand.

      Dr. Tacky (Experience: More than 20 years)

      Reviews by user

      There are all kinds of opinions on Shoryu, but as someone who's used tacky rubbers for a long time, my take is: even though it has a tension effect, you won't get good shots out of it unless you understand the quirks and technique unique to tacky rubbers. It's definitely easier to handle than a full-on hardcore Chinese rubber, but for good shots, heavy shots, sharp spinny shots, you still need to understand and be able to play a proper tacky rubber - otherwise Shoryu won't show its true strengths either. Don't get the wrong idea about it.

      Splash Mountain (Experience: 6〜10 years) This is it!

      Reviews by user

      I've stuck with this one for a while now! Even though it's only slightly tacky, tacky is tacky, so the feel with your blade matters, and it happens to match well with the blade I use. Whether it works for everyone is another question. If you can't play the tacky-rubber style, you won't get the most out of this rubber. But if you can bring out Shoryu's strengths, you can get heavy spin that rivals or even beats Tenergy 05, Mizuno Q4, Fastarc, and others. Shoryu suits me best - I've gotten stronger with it than with Tenergy or anything else.

      Shenron (Experience: 6〜10 years) Reigning champion of Japanese tacky rubber

      Reviews by user

      A tacky rubber made in Japan, by Japanese people, for Japanese players. It lacks the distinctive tackiness of a true Chinese rubber, but it's still carved out a niche as a very high quality tacky rubber built for the Japanese market. It's got real character to it!

      Touryuu Gokuisho (Experience: 11〜20 years) Spot on!

      Reviews by user

      This rubber suits my style and swing well. I think it just won't work for some people though - probably not a great match with harder outer-type blades. For me, the combination of my blade and Shoryu was a total match! They really bring out the best in each other. No plans to switch for now, I'll keep going with Shoryu.

      Lee (Experience: 6〜10 years) The best rubber

      Reviews by user

      Rubber is a matter of personal taste, but for me this is the best rubber out there. It brings out the full potential of my swing and skill - it gives me exactly the shots I'm looking for! Fine touch shots are easy too - it's my all-time favorite rubber.
