I have red 0x on Lion Shine def blade stiff blade. Plays similar to D.techs, but easier to control.
Highly recommended for close to table players who sometimes attack.

the special version has harder pips therefore a bit increase in speed but a decrease in spin. about a .5 rating difference

A versatile long pimp rubber that suits the modern defender style quite well. Hitting with it (in OX) is surprisingly easy and effective. I have it on an Andro Temper Tech All+ blade and they go well together, but the setup seems too fast for blocks.

While chops work well enough, I have serious problems with the blocks due to the speed of my rubber. People have mentioned inconsistency as a defining feature of the Talon. It seems I ended up with an Off+. The rubber throws the ball far more than my Globe 999 National.

The pips are soft and highly flexible. The Talon reminds me the tensor pips-in rubbers.

Good LP but for expert plaiers, it's fast and it's not easy to control but
deception is high and the opponent
make mistakes often. The spin is good, the second chop has very heavy spin

i just starting playing with dragon talon special....not talon...my review is on talon special....it is a great long pimple...blocking is great pushing is awesome hitting was good deception was high more than dawei for sure ive never played with tsp rubbers but i have played with grass d tecs and this rubber is the same but with more control..if u are a long pimple player this rubbers is a must have, a little pricey for a chinese pimple but it is wworht it try i ud love it...this rubber and my kris special are now my best friends..lol....
