I have two rubbers: Giant Dragon Talon and Giant Dragon Talon National Team. I have used them before, but now I cannot define which one is the Giant Dragon National Team. Does anyone know how to distinguish them visually?
The regular Talon's pips should be noticeably softer than the National Team variant.

What effect does that have compared to the original?

From my recent testing, the Talon OX National Team (NT) generates more spin when chopping and is better for attacking, i.e. BH OX LP drive, while the regular Talon OX has better reversal. I preferred the NT version initially but when one of my main shots -- the Dr Neubauer 'mudflap' attack against underspin -- did not work at all with the NT I reverted to the Talon regular.
