  Niheirie (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Taka, 16 years of experience Verified Purchase

  

  I practiced against a long-pips player, but knuckleballs are difficult with this.
  It drops into the net right away.
  For drives, if you really sink the ball in you can return it well.
  Overall it didn't produce as much spin as I expected.
  I'll keep practicing with it.

  粒高の人と練習しましたが、ナックルは難しい。
  直ぐ落ちます。
  ドライブは、しっかり食い込ませば良いボールで返れます。
  全体的に思ったより回転が出ませんでした。
  引き続き練習してみます。

  seaweed (Experience: １１〜２０ years) Harder, wilder Shoryu

  

  Compared to the original (unbranded) Xianglong:

  Hardness: up about 10%
  Speed on hard shots: up about 10%
  Speed on soft shots: down about 10%
  Control: down about 10%
  Spin: about the same
  That's roughly how it feels.

  The original Xianglong has some softness even within its hardness, giving it more of a "you can make it work" feel compared to basic Chinese rubbers, but this version has a bit less of that.

  That said, the ball comes out more erratic, so while it's harder for me to use, it's also harder for my opponent to read.

  At the shop, among the max-thickness options I bought the lighter one, at 86g, but it's still harder than a heavier original Xianglong unit.
  The feel of the rubber I had on my backhand also got harder.

  Technique-wise, I felt counter-hitting and topspin rallies were better than with the original.

  As for who this suits: if you were using the original and are fine with it being a bit less manageable in exchange for more speed and a rougher ball, this is aimed at you.

  無印の翔龍と比較して

  硬さ1割増
  強打時のスピード1割増
  軽打時のスピード1割減
  コントロール1割減
  回転変わらず
  って感じ。

  無印翔龍は硬い中にも柔らかさがあって、ベーシックな中国ラバーよりも、「なんとかなる感」があったが、この製品はそれが少し減った。

  だが、玉は荒れる感じが増していて、自分も使いづらいが相手も取りづらさはある。

  お店の中では特厚の中でもパッケージで86gと軽量なものを買ったが、やはり無印の翔龍の重めの個体よりも硬い。
  バックに貼っていたラバーの打感も硬くなった。

  技術的には、カウンター、引き合いは無印よりも良いと感じた。

  ターゲットとしては、無印を使っていたが、多少扱いづらくなってもいいから、スピードとボールに荒れが欲しいから向け。

  akt-aku2012 (Experience: ２〜３ years) Insane compatibility with pure wood blades!!

  

  Tacky rubbers and pure wood blades tend to be a good match, since the good ball-holding feel of pure wood pairs well with a tacky rubber's ability to hold the ball. With this combination, though, speed can fall short, and trading blows from mid-distance is tough unless you bring a fairly strong impact. However, Shoryu 2 makes up for that lack of speed by blending tacky rubber with tension technology.
  On the forehand, I was able to drive fast shots not only close to the table but from mid-distance as well. Since it's a very light rubber, topspin rallies were easy too. That said, on the backhand, my own lack of skill meant I couldn't really sink the ball into it.
  This is a rubber I'd recommend both to beginners trying a tacky rubber for the first time and to intermediate players who are already somewhat used to tacky rubbers.

  粘着ラバーと純木材ラケットは純木材の玉持ちの良さが粘着ラバーのボールを持つ性能とマッチして相性がいい傾向にある。この組み合わせの場合、スピードが不足し、相当なインパクトがない限り中陣での撃ち合いは厳しい。しかし、翔龍2は粘着ラバーとテンション技術の融合によりそのスピードを補うことができている。
  フォアドライブは前陣はもちろん中陣でも速い打球を打ち込むことができた。とても軽いラバーであるため、引き合いも容易だった。ただ、バックドライブは私の技術不足によりあまり食い込ませることができなかった。
  初めての粘着ラバーを使う初級者にも粘着ラバーにある程度慣れた中級者にもおすすめのラバーである

  The Battle of Minoshima! Might be a bit hard

  

  It picks up spin well, but the speed — or rather, how quickly the ball comes off the rubber — is on the slower side.

  There's probably some variation between individual sheets, but mine was on the heavy side and felt tough to use.

  It seems like you need a swing and power that can really smack the ball out.

  回転は乗りますが、なかなかスピードというか、飛び出しが遅めですね。

  個体差があるかと思いますが、自分のものは重めでキツかったです。

  がつんと弾き飛ばすスイングとパワーが求められそうです。

  People who want to become Seiya Hosokawa (Experience: Less than a year) Straight trajectory with strong spin

  

  I'm using this on the backhand side of my Butterfly Outer Force CAF. My forehand, by the way, is Glayzer 09C. I used to use Rozena, but I switched to a tacky rubber to increase spin on my backhand drive. However, the trajectory (arc) is quite flat, so it's hard to loop from mid-distance or lift underspin. That said, if you take good care of it, the tackiness comes back strongly, so I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a spin-focused speed drive.

  I'd like some advice — I'm thinking of replacing Shoryu II with either XIOM's Omega IV Europe or Jekyll & Hyde V47.5. What do you think? (My blade is the Outer Force CAF, total weight around 190g. I'd like something that makes mid-distance drives and lifting underspin easier.) If there are any other rubbers with good value for money, I'd appreciate it if you could write a review on this Shoryu II page too. (I'd prefer a brand like Butterfly, Yasaka, or XIOM.)

  バタフライのアウターフォースCAFのバックに貼っています。ちなみにフォアはグレイザー09Cです。前はロゼナを使ってましたが、バックドライブの回転数を増やすために、粘着性ラバーにしました。しかし、弾道（弧線）が直線的で中陣からのドライブや下回転の持ち上げは難しいです。しかし、きちんと手入れしていたら、粘着力がバクアガリするので、回転力を求めたスピードドライブを打ちたい人はおすすめです。

  相談なのですが、翔龍Ⅱの後継にXIOMのオメガⅣユーロかジキル＆ハイドV47.5に変えようと思っています。どう思いますか？（ラケットはアウターフォースCAFで、総重量は190g前後。そして、中陣ドライブ、下回転の持ち上げがやりやすいほうがいいです。）もし、その他にコスパも良いラバーあったら、この翔龍Ⅱのページにレビューとともに書いていただけると嬉しいです。（会社はバタフライかヤサカ、XIOMがいいです。）

  Pineapple & Lemon God-tier rubber?

  

  It's okay, but if I had to point out something lacking, I'd say control.

  まぁまぁですが足りないところを上げるとすればコントロールですかね

  Black bay (Experience: ６〜１０ years) Compared to Kiryu 2

  

  I switched my forehand from Kiryu 2 max thickness to Xianglong 2 thick. I also switched my backhand from Raygun max thickness to Rakza XX thick, keeping the racket's total weight the same at 185g. With Xianglong, if you hit it with a light graze, the ball jumps up and extends on your opponent's side of the table, and if you hit it the way you would a tension rubber, you get a diving drive. It has more speed and bigger variation than Kiryu, letting you produce balls that are hard for your opponent to return. Kiryu isn't bad either, but for players with strong impact I'd recommend Xianglong.

  フォア面を輝龍2特厚から翔龍2厚に変更しました。バック面もライガン特厚からラグザXX厚に変更しラケットの総重量は185㌘で同じに重さにしました。翔龍は、当て擦りで打てば相手のコートで跳ね上がって伸び、テンションラバーの打ち方をすれば沈むドライブになりました。輝龍よりスピードがあり変化も大きく相手が返球し難いボールが出せます。輝龍も悪くはないですが、インパクトが強い方には翔龍をお勧めします。
