Assuming that the OX Special version is the same as the Talon OX, I am retrying it on my R2 and just tonight, it out-played my usually 755 ox. It did not shoot up like the 755 did. Of course I have to add that I have tried talon on a flexy toxic 3 and it was spinsensitive in receiving bs serves. I also tried the same talon ox on my FW+ and it needed to be closed to block strong top spin. Needless to say I wiill be updating this review but so far so good on my R2.
Black1.5 on BTY Defense III AND Nittaku Def 1.5
Speed definitely slower than 5.3 (compared to BTY FLongIII 1.3)
Spin very spinny for long pips 6.2 or 6.5
Control depends on the spin so lots of control
Deception none whatsoever or very little
Reversal very little if any, if you hit flat or push, you see some but nothing like BTY F long or Nittaku screw
G.D. Dragon Talon black OX on Galaxy N-9.Compares well vs Yasaka 0012&Neptune 0.7mm.Good all around game with good control.I really have a hard time to decidebetween 0012vs Talon Ox.I recommend both of them. real playing field leveler when outgunned.
Play GD Talon in OX red.
Great pips almost like Tibhar Grass DTec (old version) but much cheaper.
Super on chops away from table with heavy spin and the second/third chop has very heavy spin and often makes the opponent to fail his next loop. Not the pips with most control but still ok, deception is high and the opponent make mistakes often.
