Thanks for the test, Mansell, I am completely surprised at the results!
I always used Normal 1745 (with 10mm steel balls), and now I find that 2040 is just as good, with lighter draw weight (meaning less effort and better accuracy). I will need to take this into account next time I purchase tubes.
Thanks again for the tests.
Helly Mate, Here is the numbers you are asking for..
Dankung 1745 – Full Loop with 16cm active @ 28inch draw length, the fork are about 60cm away from the first gate of the Chorongraph.
9.5mm Steel Ball
1) 63.7 m/s
2) 64.9 m/s
3) 65.1 m/s
4) 64.1 m/s
5) 63.1 m/s
Avg: 64.1m/s = 210.3 fps
12mm Steel Ball
1) 58.0 m/s
2) 57.6 m/s
3) 56.5 m/s
4) 58.0 m/s
5) 57.9 m/s
Avg: 57.6 m/s = 188 fps
Oh Wow..i am very surprised to see Normal 1745 + 9.5mm steel ball has no advantage at all Vs Normal 2040, 1745 + 12mm steel ball @ 188 fps Vs 2040 + 12mm @ 177 fps = 11 fps different this may be the only advantage for 1745 are using 12mm steel ball, but than 11 fps with such heavy draw is it worth it? Its up to you.

I recently purchased a second Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot, as this is my preferred slingshot. There’s really not much to add to the review I did a few months ago, as the slingshot is basically the same.
However, this time I asked for a Black slingshot, and I noticed this version is slightly heavier (64gr instead of 55gr), and thicker than the Brown slingshot I already had. This does not add much bulk to the slingshot, but it looks sturdier.
As I mentioned before, I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic, my Brown slingshot really feels sturdy. In any case, if you feel the need for a sturdier slingshot, go for the Black color option.
Here are a few more pictures of the tool itself.

Great, that's what I meant: normal 1745 tubes. I never even tried Cocktail 1745, but I can understand them must be impossibly heavy.
However, I would find the 9.5mm steel ball test interesting, so please consider them (if that's all right with you).
Thanks!
Hello Mate, I would do a Normal 1745 for sure but not Cocktail 1745 because DK's give me a set to try out the draw are so strong i can't even pull it to my normal 28inch draw length its just crazy strong, for normal 1745 i would even skip 9.5mm steel ball because 1745 will over power 9.5mm steel ball 1745 are meant to be for 12mm or above,
Another great review, Mansell!
Are you planning on making more reviews? I would be interesting in the results with 1745 tubes, which are the ones I use.
Best regards, UE.
Here you go mate, on the Left are 1636 Right are 2040 they are both at 15.5cm active and i am using 28inch draw length both of the tubes and the Chorongraph are order from Dankung..

to Mansell
hi, what bands did you use, I mean it's four-strand or eight-strand?
By my knowledge, 4-strand 2040 or 1636 has no enough power to propel big ammo as 9.5mm or 12mm
Could you show a picture of your bands used?
Here is more surprise for you mate..

You should get a few set as backup for more power..
