I have been playing with Rising dragon for just over five months now on Butterfly Ai Fukahara blade. Rising dragon is my primary FH rubber and for good reason. I play with T05 hard, H3 Neo provincial blue 40 degrees, Jupiter 3 asia and Nittaku H3 neo turbo blue sponge but this is the best. When playing for the first time, you'll be so happy, asking why would you ever need T05, Dignics, Tibhar K3 etc. Its amazingly playable right out of the packet! Tacky, powerful and high spin. After breaking into it for a month, passive flat hits and lazy forhands will NOT go over the net and almost automatic spin is no longer there. Then i understood immediately, just like H3 neo and T05 hard, to get the best out this rubber you need Good topsin and loop discipline. This rubber is great for intermediate attacking players. The more you break into it, the more you will acheive the arc on the ball that you want. At times you feel that there is a tensor effect to it which makes it so different to unboosted chinese rubber. Therefore, i would compare it most to Tenergy 05 hard in terms of playability. I would also say that this is more suited to power topspin players, not those who want automatic spin from the rubber immediately, as it will make you work for it. This is absolutley one the hidden gems in table tennis FH rubbers!

After the many reviews on this website, i bought rising dragon. i am very satisfied. Previously, i used tacky rubbers such as G3 Neo, Neo Skyline 2 tg2, battle 2 provincial gold. This rubber way easier to play and with lots of spin. Speed is not high but like boostered chinese rubber.

Not very fast, but not slow. Tacky but not much and grips well. Not bouncy, but not dead feeling. does everything more than enough, especially close to table and spin/loop potential is very high. Previously i tried 6-7 chinese rubbers including Neo skyline tg2 and h3 Neo. Without boostering, rising dragon has the best performance. Short game, touches are so controlled. on the other hand; i use it on my 86gr xiom solo. it is a bit slow for drives, if i do not put effort against opponent's slow shots, When i use my bh rubber xiom Vega europe for fh drives, i dont face this problem.

Very good rubber for looping. You can easily brush the ball and get the effect of the rubber very fast even less training. The spin and speed of the ball also good enough to make opponent difficult to counter back..over all,this rubber is suitable for me n I like it
