External Review for Yasaka Rising Dragon on October 5, 2025

ATTENTION !!! Hello "friends of this rubber!" ... unfortunately, this rubber has been removed from the ITTF approval list!!! The Rising Dragon 2, however, is still approved. ... in the PAST: I was initially intrigued by this rubber's high spin rating. However, when I read the trajectory ratings, my interest waned. Fortunately, I was able to get a used rubber a week ago (for very little money! ;-P) that I had only briefly tested. It's a mystery to me why they claim this rubber has a flat trajectory. I was testing the Tibhar Hybrid K3 on the other side of the racket in parallel with it, and its arc "wasn't significantly" higher! I initially tested the Yasaka on my forehand side (on the very fast XVT ZL Koto, outer blade), but subsequently found it better for my backhand side. And believe me, this rubber creates a nice arc! ;-P More facts: my black rubber with 2.15 mm sponge weighs 45 grams, cut to 155 x 149 mm. It's sticky enough to hold the ball for a few seconds! Addendum, here some table tennis basics ;-P: stickiness describes whether a rubber can lift and hold the ball. Tackiness describes how well the rubber "grips" the ball and how well it can generate rotation.
