    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.

      Gurgling (Experience: 11〜20 years) Quality issue

      Reviews by user

      There were fingerprint marks and white streaks scattered across the rubber! And the rubber surface was slick — the worst. (Bought from a shop with good inventory turnover.)
      Quality seems to vary a lot, so buy at your own risk of wasting your money.

      Stitch (Experience: 4〜5 years) An upgrade from Shoryu

      Reviews by user

      I'm using this on my forehand. Shoryu was pretty heavy, but this one is on the lighter side. Since it's tacky, I figured you'd need to brush the ball to get anything out of it, but that's not the case at all — you can hit the typical heavy tacky-rubber drive just fine. The short game is stable too, so it's an easy rubber to use overall.

      Table Tennis Baka (Experience: 4〜5 years) Absurd amount of spin!

      Reviews by user

      For a tacky rubber, I think it's quite bouncy. And being tacky, it grips the ball well, so it lands with a nice, clean arc. And above all, the serves are insane! My friend told me, "The way your serve extends is crazy!!!"
      Bottom line: it's just plain easy to use.

      Yoshi (Experience: 2〜3 years) Softer than expected?

      Reviews by user

      I put this on the forehand of my shakehand blade. I'd been using a tension rubber and wanted my serves to bite more, so I picked this. My first impression after putting it on was that the surface grips more than Tackiness D, and it might be softer than Hurricane. My first impression actually playing with it was, "whoa, this rubber's crazy." My opponent even said my drives were extending further. Serves bite well too, and I started getting service aces. I'd recommend it to tension users looking for more spin, or tacky-rubber users looking for more speed.

      HMM 5 (Experience: 2〜3 years) Too much dwell

      Reviews by user

      They call it a tacky tension rubber, but I honestly can't tell where the tension part comes in. Sure, serves and pushes are easy and it grips for spin, but drives and smashes are way too hard to pull off. Basically impossible!
      It's a fantastic rubber in terms of the spin it generates, but I think calling this tacky rubber a "tension" rubber is a stretch.

      Miya (Experience: 6〜10 years) Might be good as an intro to tacky rubber

      Reviews by user

      My first impressions come down to three things: light, bouncy, and it grips for spin.
      It's only lightly tacky, but it still spins well, and it felt bouncier than you'd expect from a tacky rubber.
      I think it would be an easy switch even for tension-rubber users.

      jj (Experience: More than 20 years) Chinese rubber on backhand? Works fine

      Reviews by user

      This rubber shows its power more on the backhand than the forehand. On the forehand I struggle to finish points with it, which is rough, but on the backhand it doesn't run away on you — pushes bite, and you can block, backhand-drive, whatever you want. It's light too, and the value for money is great. It reminds me of when I used to glue up Hurricane, but Kiryu is way lighter.
