    Yasaka can offer a table tennis rubber with a very sticky top sheet combined with a rather hard sponge.
    The sticky rubber makes it easy to control the topspin, serves and short cut returns.
    The tension of the sponge creates outstanding speed.

    Even though being a sticky Chinese rubber SHINING DRAGON is light-weighted.

    Customer Reviews SummaryAI Summary
    Highly rated among sticky rubbers for its lightweight and ease of use, especially recommended for beginners and intermediate players transitioning from tension rubbers. However, power-oriented advanced players find it lacking in power and force.
    ■ Frequently Mentioned Points
    • Lightweight for a sticky rubber, making it easy to handle
    • Excellent spin performance with stable drive shots
    • Effective for point-scoring via short-court techniques and blocking
    • Ideal for beginners transitioning from tension rubbers, but limited attacking power
    • Compatibility varies depending on blade hardness; proper blade selection is crucial
    ■ Representative Voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite being light, it flies well and generates tremendous spin on serves. Easy to transition from tension rubbers and versatile for everything from short-court techniques to attacking shots.
    ▽ CriticalDisappointing compared to the previous Shoiryu model. Spin performance is mediocre with uninspiring, linear ball trajectory lacking sticky rubber characteristics. Power players should choose Shoiryu or Rakza Z instead.

      Orthodox Drive Man (Experience: 2〜3 years) Easy-to-use tacky tension rubber

      Reviews by user

      Kiryu was my first ever tacky tension rubber. It's really easy to handle, and it easily produces that distinctive tricky spin ball you get from tacky rubbers. It also delivers good speed, so you can punch through with a fast drive too. The price is affordable too, so I'd recommend it!

      Speak furuaruku (Experience: 4〜5 years) Fairly easy to use.

      Reviews by user

      This was way easier to use than Shoryu. Even though it's a tacky rubber, it's soft, so with chiquita and drives I could really grab the ball and get a fairly stable shot out of it. I currently have it on my backhand, and compared to a harder rubber or one of those super bouncy rubbers where the ball flies off the instant you hit it, this lets the ball sink in properly, so it feels more like I'm doing the hitting rather than the rubber. That said, on flat hits and smashes the ball sinks in so much it feels a bit unpleasant (just my opinion), so I wish the ball came off a little faster.

      Drives are easy to control. Spin and speed are both decent. When you hit a good one, the trajectory has a bit of a wobble to it.
      Smashes and flat hits come out well if you swing the blade fast.
      Chiquita works better if you focus on spin.
      Pushes are easy to make deep and fast. Short ones are harder, but doable.
      Stops are hard, but doable.
      Blocking and countering felt easily affected by the opponent's spin.
      Serves get a decent amount of spin. Short serves are difficult.

      All in all, it feels more like using a tension rubber than a tacky one. So I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a lightweight tension rubber.

      For a tacky rubber the spin is decent, and since it's on the lighter side, it doesn't put much strain on my arm. The stability on the forehand is amazing.

      Currently using it on the backhand. Chiquita is easy with this. It's light for a tacky rubber, so my wrist doesn't hurt. Placement is easy to control too.

      blocker (Experience: 6〜10 years)

      Reviews by user

      I mainly play a blocking game. I found this rubber easy to block and counter with on the backhand. Swing sideways and you can add spin too. Since it's tacky, it never flies too far off the table.

      goma (Experience: 4〜5 years) Soft and tacky

      Reviews by user

      For its sponge hardness, this is a light rubber. That said, it's not on the level of Vega Europe, so keep that in mind. Both Shoryu and this rubber aren't really suited to brushing the ball — you get a better shot by hitting it flat with a high contact point. That said, a slow loop drive from a lower contact point is useful too, since it produces more spin than a tension rubber, even if it's slower. When hitting flat, the spin is less than a spin-oriented tension rubber and the speed is a bit slower too, but that gives you better control and fewer overshoot mistakes. I used this in my second year of playing table tennis, and I think it was good for learning a variety of strokes. That said, honestly it lacks power, so I'd recommend it as a practice rubber.

      A row (Experience: Less than a year)

      Reviews by user

      When I first bought it, it was tacky, but that wears off little by little.
      For serves, keeping the ball on the rubber longer gives you spin, but trying to brush it doesn't grip much.
      I think it's better suited to rally play.
      For drives, if you don't commit properly to the stroke, you get basically no spin.
      If you've used Vega before, you should get a feel for it up to the point where your serve comes all the way back to your side of the net.
