Yasaka Hovering Dragon rubber

I'm not sure if Hovering Dragon and Thunder Dragon are Asia only marketing.

But does anyone have link or know what are the different sponge hardness of Hovering Dragon?

It seems to have a Medium hard and Medium soft versions.

Have been available since Jan but the official distributor in China doesn't even show them on the website. Nowhere to be seen in Hong Kong, but available in Taiwan.

Can't find anything official on hardness, said to be medium hard from the in-depth review. Dange lists Hovering Dragon at 38° and Thunder Dragon at 36° on Japanese scale (Asker C?).

For those interested:
Hovering Dragon, claims to be tacky but turns out to be very grippy. Soft and bouncy like Japanese/European grippy rubbers. Feels nothing like made-in-China. Very fragile. Topsheet tore on an off-centered shot.

Thunder Dragon said to be slightly tacky.

Many thanks for the details, looks like a poor marks that guy gave. I was expecting tacky but if it's not and with that kind of fragility...guess with that kind of weight they really made the topsheet soft and/or thin.

Lol, "Cyclonus III" - another Google translate hit. OTOH, would not look out of place on the LARC ...

I'm curious about Thunder and Psych Dragon. Anyone here used them? How do they compare to Bolo Dragon?

I tested Psych Dragon, it´s pretty sticky and relatively hard, Battle II territory for me - but then I am not really familiar what else is out there.
Hovering Dragon is less sticky and has a softer sponge.

Now they sit here looking for a new home.
