as mentioned above consistency is key. inconsistent tubes affect my shooting and the making of tube sets. so i for one would like to see the return of the premium range.
I have been shooting dankung tubing for quite some time now and the main thing I am after in tubing is consistency.
If the tubes are consistent then so is my practice and my shooting.
If I'm competition shooting then I need the tubes to be as consistent as possible. A big yes from me!
I'm sure every serious shooter would pay extra for premium also
Last few batches of 20/40 have been real inconsistent . You can make 2 band sets from 2 different rolls of 20/40 and they feel totally different. Ones easy to pull the other hard. Same exact length .
Awesome! The most valuable article of DANKUNG slingshot. Hope there will be analysis on other models.

I dropped by a gold purchasing shop this afternoon and brought two DanKung General II frames, as well as some gold. The gold shop uses an expensive Olympus GoldXpert machine to analyze the metals before purchasing gold from customers.
One General II frame was purchased in May 2014 and the other in October 2015. Three different magnets prove that the old G2 has no attraction but the new G2 has a strong enough attraction to lift one fork completely off the table.
Here is what the Olympus analyzer said:
Old General II:
Cr = 18.39%
Fe = 71.64%
Mn = 1.85%
Ni = 8.12%
Newer General II:
Cr = 19.0%
Fe = 71.02%
Mn = 1.50%
Ni = 8.47%
Cr = chromium, Fe = iron, Ni = nickel, Mn = manganese
According to online data, a 304 stainless alloy should have 18-20% chromium, 8.0-10.5% nickel, 2% manganese and some traces of non-metals. The balance of the mixture would be iron. The two G2 frames seem to be right for the 304 stainless steel claim.
I am no chemist but at least I know that there is no zinc in these DanKung frames. We also know that a small difference with a 304 alloy, even within specs, can turn a magnet attracted frame into non-magnet attracted. It appears that a magnet will not confirm the alloy.

My Cougar came in the mail today (3/7/2016). The box it came in was very nice and protected everything inside. After putting on the tubes, I found them to strong for me, I am older than dirt. I'll just get some lighter tubes and everything will be fine. The cougar itself is a work of art, everything on the frame is smooth and polished, it really looks great. This is because Dankung does such outstanding work on their products. You can buy any of Dankung products and you won't go wrong. "Take care", Jim

My Sniper came in the mail today (3/7/2016). The box my order came in was nice and protected everything inside. After making some adjustments, I tried to pull back to my shooting position but, I could not. The tubes are to strong for me however, at my age, that is not unusual. I'll just get some lighter tubes and everything will work out fine. The Sniper fits nicely into my hand and the magnets are very handy too. Thank you Dankung for making such fine products. "Take care", Jim
Premium tubes should be available.Serious shooters want consistent tubes,and are willing to pay for such.
I think the option for premium tubed should be there, for the serious shooters consistency in your tubes or bands is an absolute must
I believe shooters would gladly pay more for the better tubes. You need to eliminate the variables as much as possible as a shooter and better bands is one of them.
