Yasaka rising/shining dragon 2

[Spartan-727]

Hello all, these are rubbers that Yasaka released very recently and it has been hard to find a review of either of them.

Has anyone tried these two, and how do they compare to the predecessors? Or to other hybrids like d09c, k3.

In case anyone is interested and finds this thread. Here is a review I found for rising dragon 2. Not the best translations but it's okay.

I still haven't found any reviews on shining dragon 2 yet.

Sad there is no reviews

Anyone here tried them? How do they compare to Rakza Z?

Rising Dragon 1 and 2 are like a more Chinese flavor of Rakza z. Still very playable, but while Rakza Z leans more towards tensors, the Rising dragons lean more towards Chinese hybrids. The difference is not that huge though.

Low throw aswell?

No, Rakza Z does not have a low throw neither does the Rising Dragons. Rakza Z might be higher though, but close enough to easily switch between rubbers.

I have used Shingin Dragon 2 on the same blade as Stiga DNA Hybrid M and Andro Nuzn 48.
Speed: DNA Hybrid > Nuzn 48 > Shining dragon 2
Spin: Nuzn 48 > Dna Hybrid M > Shining Dragon 2
Control: Shining Dragon 2 > Nuzn 48 > DNA Hybrid M
The spin/speed between Stiga And Andro rubber is not big. I used Nuzn for the last months and just yesterday played with the Stiga rubber again.
I can really reccomend the Shining Dragon 2. If you want a rubber with very good spin and good control its supurb.

Long lasting as well?

Im not sure. I didnt use it for a long time. I still got it on my Nittaku s-cz blade with the DNA Hybrid on the other side. I think the Stiga rubber looks more used than the Yasaka,
